Everything's better with sparkles...

I have to admit that working from home can lead to some...let's say "interesting" outfits. Sometimes I just throw something on so I can get right to work and it's not until 5 pm that I realize what I am actually wearing.

Yesterday my outfit consisted of these crazy wide leg lounge pants - my husband hates them and thinks they look like karate pants - and a neon yellow tank top with mint colored flip flops. Not pretty. I am not even going to tell you what my hair looked like...

However, after 5 pm and a quick workout, I pulled myself together for a quick dinner out. The weather is getting a bit cooler so I chose my new J Crew gingham shirt. The weather is not yet COLD though, so I went with my Zara lace shorts. I finally got to wear my Ily Couture Bubble Necklace (I got a couple weeks ago but last week was not really the time and place to wear a cute statement necklace). The whole get-up was feeling a bit too preppy for me so in true "classy with a kick" fashion, I blinged it up with my J Crew knockoff pave chain bracelet and glitter flats from F21 (last mentioned here).

Glitter Flats from F21 // Pave Link Bracelet (J Crew Knockoff) from local store 
// Lucky Ring // Kate Spade Bag (Old, but loving this one)

 I mean everything is a little bit better with sparkles, right??

Amen!

BTW, I am doing a blog hop today so if you are new, please say hi and leave your links so I can follow you back! :)

Happy Tuesday - or as we call it my household - CHOOSEday. Don't ask...just start saying it yourself. It's fun!

  3. I agree, everything is better with sparkles! I love how you paired the gingham with the lace shorts. I'm going to keep this in mind the next time I wear my lace shorts :)

    1. They are HORRIBLE but so comfy, I can't give them away! :) I love working from home but it will be short lived as my company is opening an office locally. Right now I am a remote employee which is really nice. It's fun but you can get L-A-Z-Y and it's get hard to find time to shower! :)

    1. Thanks Niki! It's a weird combo, but it worked. The flats are super fun. I coated them with mod podge and there is no glitter fall out. I think I am going to order the gold ones too.

  13. My sister loves pair of karate pants that your husband refers to as karate pants. You won't believe it, Once she dragged me out just to buy these karate pants despite the fact that she knew I am busy with my assignment and trying to find a Cheap Assignment Help UK based site. Therefore, I think I should share this post with her, it might help her to reduce her affection for these pants.

  18. Of course! I wholeheartedly concur that sparkles make everything better! It never fails to inject a little sparkle into our lives, whether we're doing it with glittery decorations in our houses or a dash of shimmer in our clothes. And hey, you could always pay someone to do my assignment my project while you concentrate on shining brightly in other aspects of your life if you're ever too busy to add that extra glitter yourself!
