Daytime Sparkle

Greeneyedlady21 — Fri, 13 Apr 2018 21:32:00 GMT

Today I wore a top I ordered from the Kohls web site. It's a taupe color that went well with a Vera Wang earth tones necklace that I have. When I ordered it I didn't realize that it had gold sparkle. It's more subtle than nighttime sparkle.

It boosted my spirits a bit today. I like sparkle in my jewelry too. I used to have a silver pair of sparkly New Balance sneakers. Loved them. Unfortunately I had to donate them when my feet suddenly turned into wides.

Does anyone else like some daytime sparkle? I also have a very blinged out LaBellum top. I have worn it during the day, with a black shrug over it to tone it down.

I've definitely learned since last September that Iife's too short to be afraid of some sparkle☺

I love anytime sparkle. I purchased some Nine West sneakers that has some bling. I also purchase Labellum embroidered sparkle jean jacket. I can't wait to get it. Life is definitely too short to be afraid to sparkle.

I do like a bit of glitz. I have some shirts that have a metallic finish (in gold, silver or bronze). One white top has a really subtle gold glow that you don't see in sunlight - but looks fab in low light.

One wildly embellished denim shirt from Indigo Moon.

And - one white summer tunic that has some silver threads running through it.

I used to have some silver sneakers ... I left them at my folks' house one year and I think their dog ate them.

I keep my jewelry fairly simple.

I do. I spent my days in an office with beige walls, grey cubicles, and no windows unless I leave my desk and walk around a wall and down two hallways.

I try to bring some sparkle to my day so the physical enviornment isn't so soul-crushing.

Sparkle seems to be very prevalent in clothing today for daytime wear. Look at all the sparkle in Quacker Factory and in other lines of Q clothing. Metallics are very popular in shoes; we even see sparkly sneakers. Sparkle is not just for nighttime any more.

Whatever makes us feel good is worth it.

@Greeneyedlady21 Love me some sparkle and shine! Typically I wear jewelry for effect, but I love a metallic bag. It makes me feel good.

I love a little sparkle and shine. I wear suit jackets to work with black slacks and I wear bling bracelets that kind of spruce up the outfit. I wear bracelets every day to work and sometimes I wear a necklace too but I think it looks good and that is all that counts. Besides my hubby bought a few of the bracelets for me. I think it is good to wear them every day rather than wait for a special occasion.

Sparkle is my favorite color Always has been and always will be. I don't really care if it's in style or not, I love it.

I like some sparkle but not head-to-toe at once. I usually will wear one sparkly thing at a time. May spring for some sparkly tennis shoes for spring!

You can never have too much sparkle!!

I agree wholeheartedly. A little bling makes me sparkle inside and out. Doesn't matter the time of day.

Sparkle can be tricky. I love "funky" sparkle; but you have to be careful because there is a fine line between it and "old lady" sparkle.

I love a little daytime sparkle. I have a INC blazer with epaulettes studded with cystals. Looks great with jeans.

I actually do like a bit of daytime sparkle. I always have, long before it became a thing. I usually do it with flats or tees or tanks that I wear under my daytime or casual pieces. And then there is jewelry. I don't have daytime vs nighttime jewelry. I wear my jewelry wherever and whenever I want. Yes, I occasionally get the side-eye from some women...lol

I have a few tops and cardigans with sparkle or glass bead embellishments. I wear mine day and night. A little around the neckline or down the placket is nice especially if the top is a solid color. I sometimes skip a necklace when I wear an embellished top.

Excuse me...??? @faeriemoon, what exactly is "old lady" sparkle? And how is it different from "young lady" sparkle?

Thanks for my morning chuckle.
