Happy New Year! I hope you enjoyed your weekend full of celebrations. One of my goals for 2017 is to rediscover my love for fashion. The best way to do that is to try new trends or styles that I haven’t worn before. What are your fashion resolutions?
A trend I’ve been wanting to try is the metallic trend. I love all things glitter and sparkle but haven’t added them to my wardrobe other than jewelry or special event gowns. This winter season is a great time to try this trend because there are many events this time of year that give you the opportunity to dress up.
Many of you know my philosophy on trendy fashion. I always say “Spend less on the trends and spend more on the classics” when it comes to fashion. I found my perfect metallic fashion pieces on sammydress.com. They are both under $25, which is the perfect price for trying the trend without breaking the bank.
Look #1
Copper Sequin Pants with Cape Blazer
Cape Blazer: Sammy Dress (c/o) Sequin Pants: Sammy Dress (c/o) Pumps: Forever 21 ( Similar HERE)
This look brings the bling to business casual. I love that they are fully lined inside so the sequins don’t irritate your skin. I paired it with a cape blazer and classic pumps. You can buy the pants HERE.
Look #2
Gold pleated skirt with leather jacket
Leather Jacket: Poshmark Find (similar HERE) Fur Stole: Forever 21 (similar HERE) Metallic Skirt: Sammy Dress (c/o) Heels: JustFab (style: Giada)
This look is perfect for a fancier event. I paired the skirt with my favorite leather jacket and added a fur stole. The bow heels are the perfect finishing touch. If you live in a colder area, adding black tights would keep you warm while still looking chic. You can buy the skirt HERE.
Chic Tip:
My tip for mixing metals flawlessly in an outfit is to pair your look with jewelry that mixes different colored metals like this pair of earrings HERE.
