Trend Alert – Shimmer and Shine

Submitted by Mimi on Friday, 25 September 200912 Comments

Sparkle, shine and sh-sh-shimmer! Once reserved for cocktail parties and the holiday season, sequins and other shimmering materials have become suitable for everyday wear. Injecting a bit of shimmer into your standard daytime ensemble will definitely help shake things up a bit this fall. Designers from New York, Milan and Paris offered a treasure trove of dazzle on their runways.

Thankfully I’ve collected quite a few eye catching items over the years, so most likely I won’t be buying anything new, unless I find something very special. In that case I can make an exception. Right?

What do you dolls think of the shimmering look for daytime? Are you inspired to try it out or is it too much dazzle for you? Discuss!

If you ask me, you can NEVER have too much shine, shimmer & GLAMOUR!! I am all about looking fabulous, and adding a bit of shine to your wardrobe can do no harm… I’m loving all the examples you featured… especially that GORG Balmain dress… =)

I’m not a fan of head-to-toe all-over sequins but for the most mundane reason ever: they can be kind of scratchy.
