All Things Sparkly

Have you ever wanted something even though you knew it would eventually be a waste? Lately, I've been attracted to sequins. Thing is I've learned that the item has to be made a certain way or I will hate wearing it.
Samples:
From Walmart... These are pretty and would be beautiful under a suit. I've learned though that tanks with sequins normally are made either too short or too tight. I would buy these, wear them, fidget and give them away or store them while convincing myself I'll wear them again some day.



From Lane Bryant
So I have this one. I got it mainly because it was at an MJR sale for $6 regular $50. At that price I don't feel bad wearing it occasionally.

Awkward pic by daughter moment

This bag was given away with a purchase a few weeks ago and I had to tell myself not to make a purchase just to get one. I was successful but I still glance twice at it before I leave the store.

Doesn't the skirt say "sure you need me!" To be honest the main reason I've said no is because I have no solid idea of why I'd wear with it including shoes. So, yes it would hang in the closet.


Lastly, I confess this shirt is in my LB in basket. This shirt is GORGEOUS in person and there's a MATCHING PURSE at Charming Charlie. However, not only is it EXPENSIVE at $79.50 (my sales rules require this to be at least 70% off) I also know that the sequins would BOTHER my arms eventually. I've had a full sequin shirt before and ended up with sores on my upper arms. So, for now I'll dream of it (and the purse). However, if I see this in a MJR Sale in 2013 you best believe I'm on it!

What items are you attracted to lately?

Intimidated...

So, I made a purchase and for the first time I'm a little intimidated by the dress. From the color to the construction it's a piece not for the faint at heart or weak esteem.

I admit I believe greatly that clothing in and of itself shares messages about about the wearer. I'm not just speaking of clothing with writing on it. At times it will share resourcefulness, creativity, priorities, and even emotions. That being said, it's not that I'm unfamiliar with an article of clothing that relays a message, but I'm faced with a purchase I love (it is cute) wondering what do I want it to say when I wear it and making sure I have the self-esteem to back it up.

Enough with the introduction.... Here you go.

How much thought do you put in what you wear? How do you respond when people say clothes are not messages?
