How to Sparkle and Shine in a Metallic Top

A bit of sparkle comes in many forms:  jewelry, embellishment with sequins or crystals, metallics, etc.  Age doesn’t matter because your true self sparkles and shines, too!  Today, I’m sharing a formula showing how to sparkle and shine in a metallic top.  I’d like to encourage you to think outside of the box as well.  You can wear a metallic top any day of the season as part of your usual casual outfit.  And it’s a good piece to wear for virtual get-togethers!

I wore my gold Lurex sweater tunic quite a few times in Christmases past — from the extended family celebration to around the office during the holiday season to holiday brunch with friends.  The last time I wore it, co-workers told me it looked so comfy, and it was!

Here’s How to Sparkle and Shine in a Metallic Top:

On her blog You Look Fab, Angie Cox did a great job of describing how to style a metallic top for the holidays.  Here are the basic steps:

1. First, choose a metallic knit pullover/sweater in gold, bronze, silver, pewter, black, navy, burgundy, charcoal or blush.
2. Then, pair it with dressy or casual bottoms.  Dressy bottoms include: a pencil skirt or flared skirt, dressy flared trousers, black gauchos or culottes, any black bottoms, or just about anything dressy.  Casual bottoms refer to:  any color or kind of jeans.
3. Add footwear:  dressy footwear for either rendition.  If you wear boots, err on the dressy side.  Think pumps in black or metallic or animal-print or any festive shoe.
4. Finally, add accessories.  Your bag could be a clutch or a whimsical style.  You may add a belt.  Add jewelry as desired.
