Okay. I know some of you may be thinking that sequins are strictly for little girls and RuPaul. Au contraire. Sparkle and sequins are all the rage this spring. I want to share with you guys how to pull this trend off without looking like PJ Sparkles. The key is keep the color of the sequins neutral and everything else minimal. Sometimes just a hint of sparkle is unexpected and can liven up an outfit.
