For today's post I have a little story. I actually wore this yesterday for #StyleMeMay: Fancy. It's been quite a while since I've worn this sequin top because it feels very fall/winter to me and with no luck of finding a summer sequin top I decided I had to find a way to make it work and not feel like December. Enter my new fuscia skirt (thank you Nordstrom semi-annual sale!) and voila! We are getting there. Then I realized I had my gingham shirt hanging at the front of my closet and thought, "well, maybe we can treat this sequin top like a sweater and layer it..." And here is the final product. It amazes me that some mornings I'll put on very normal things and will think I look weird but in the case I put on this completely off the wall look (or maybe it's not?) and became absolutely obsessed with it.
And why is the title of this post "#StyleMeMay 2 for 1"? Well, today's #StyleMeMay just so happens to be "never paired together." Because I haven't ever paired together a sequin top, gingham button up and fuscia skirt (or at least not since I can remember, but there were those dress up days as a little girl...).

Btw, I was really disappointed by the lack of comments I received today - not because I was fishing for them but because I thought this was a little outrageous and I figured everyone at my office would have a field day with it. Not the case however...
Also! Don't forget to enter my Stella & Dot giveaway!!
I love the pairing of the sequins. Great look!
