mute the shine.

are sequins only for the holidays?
bought this vest last christmas, but wanted to get more mileage out of it the rest of the year.
i toned it down by layering it over a similar colored tee
and found it totally do-able for summer.

(pants, bebe; vest, f21)

a big thanks to lucia of dior bless you for the tigreton prize. she always puts together cute outfits that are simple and feminine.

seven quirks facts:
1) i hit the snooze button at least two times
2) when i find something i love, i buy it in evvry color
3) i always lose my parking ticket, then find it
4) i always choose the window seat when traveling on airplanes
5) i used to love silly putty
6) still get a kick out of blowing bubbles
7) occasionally crave (dunkin donuts) buttermilk donuts

tell me one of your quirks in the comments.

    Great outfit! Really like your necklace! So lovely and the color is to die for!:)
    -Oh when I want something I drool looking at it until I have one.
    -Then when I already purchase what I want- for days it will stuck on the place where I can easily glance over.Not that all! It's also on my bed for the couple of days or so!Weird is'nt it?! but that makes me happy everytime and my family knows that! hahaha

    I wear sequins all year round :) I have some little tee's that are very subtly sequinned that I can get away with during the day which always make me feel a bit happier :) and a quirk... I write lists for everything :)

    Love, Vanilla

    Quirky me: I make up a lot of my own words...like "froozhnocked", which can mean "tired" :-)

    I like that you've paired glitzy sequins with a day outfit...I would never have thought of trying that!

    Sequins are definitely not only for holidays :) But maybe that's one of my quirks, I definitely wear them year round! Congratulations on the award. That cookie sandwich looks, well, amazing. You have me drooling :)

    You always look so effortlessly chic and are always in heels, I don't know how you do it. I used to think sequins was also only for the holiday season but I have recently abandoned that silliness. Sequins is too fab to limit wearing it.
    I was by the way not hungry until I saw that yummy looking cookie sandwich. My mouth is watering.
    Cheers,
    Bre

    I found the perfect camisole last year, and now I own one in 8 different colors. I found out that there are over 100 colors, and I am determined to own all of them.
    So I understand that quirk of yours.

    My whole life is a quirk. I can't even choose just one. You know me well enough to know that by now.

    Annnddd this vest is definitely not just for Christmastime. It works perfectly for warmer weather, too. I love the outfit!

    I think sequins can be worn at any time.
    I set my alarm for every morning, but never need it, I'm always awake just before it goes off.
    I crave packets of crisps and can eat 3 packs straight after each other or a whole family packet at once.
    I'm scared of the dark and always have the hall light on on a night.

    Oh I love blowing bubbles too. I'm totally bringing a gigantic set of bubble wands and liquid to an outdoor music festival I'm headed to this summer. And that ice cream cookie sandwich looks heavenly... I may just bake cookies so I can make some of these at home.

    Hm, a quirk of my own? I NEED to wear earrings, otherwise I feel naked. And if I don't notice I left the house without any on, I panic the minute I feel naked lobe haha...
