All That Glitters!

Sequins are derived from the 1284 Venetian “zecchino” coin. When the Venetian currency collapsed, the women of the city would use the remaining pure gold pieces to embellish their clothing. With this, bling was born. Sequinned garments are in a league of their own, with the ability to convey everything from diva glitz to a hint of snark. They enhance the aesthetic value of your wardrobe, whether you’re dressing for work or play.

Both the mother and daughter in this photo look like goddesses in their turquoise ensembles. This teen’s choice to wear complementary eye and lip colors to her clothing makes her look even more stunning.
