Usually, I tend to keep glitter and sequins to a minimum. This is mainly due to practicality. Glitter gets everywhere and ill-placed sequins can rub against and ruin other clothes. I am ignoring my sparkly shoe habit. I like to keep things simple and glittery shoes do all the work for you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, it&#8217;s Christmas. I want to look like the shiniest bauble on the tree. I want glitter, sequins, lam\u00e9, rhinestones! Heck, you can add a faux fur jacket and a marabou cape to that. I want all of it. For those who are of a similar persuasion here is my shopping list.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/uk.monsoon.co.uk\/view\/product\/uk_catalog\/mon_1,mon_1.2\/3428561108\">Monsoon Juliet dress<\/a>. Silver and gold, long sleeves, gorgeous. It is short but if you are a modest dresser then stick it over leggings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.next.co.uk\/g882020s3\">Next Glitter Twist<\/a> dress. Again it&#8217;s a modest number with sleeves (cue angel song) but this one comes in green, silver or red and will be very flattering if you curvy. Also from Next this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.next.co.uk\/g882008s2#110937\">silver leather look<\/a> pencil skirt. I reckon this is quite versatile. That and wipe clean.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marksandspencer.com\/crackle-drape-long-sleeve-wrap-midi-dress\/p\/p22512119?image=SD_01_T42_6584_VK_X_EC_90&amp;color=BRONZE&amp;prevPage=plp&amp;pdpredirect\">Crackle Drape<\/a> dress from M&amp;S is what I call dog bait. My mutt would be hanging off the front of this in no time but it&#8217;s shiny as a shiny thing and easy to wear. They also do a fab <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marksandspencer.com\/metallic-short-sleeve-jumpsuit\/p\/p22512121?image=SD_01_T42_6587_VK_X_EC_90&amp;color=BRONZE&amp;prevPage=plp\">Metallic Knot<\/a> detail jumpsuit\u00a0if that is your bag. If you can find one in your size the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marksandspencer.com\/sparkly-long-sleeve-shift-dress\/p\/p60119824?image=SD_01_T42_8026_CB_X_EC_90&amp;color=COBALT&amp;prevPage=plp\">Sparkly Sequin <\/a>dress is the stuff of dreams.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you want limited sparkle then a top is the way to go and head to Asos. Floaty and shiny this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asos.com\/asos\/asos-sheer-and-sequin-kimono-t-shirt\/prd\/8367755?clr=black&amp;SearchQuery=sequin+top&amp;pgesize=36&amp;pge=0&amp;totalstyles=244&amp;gridsize=3&amp;gridrow=12&amp;gridcolumn=3\">Sheer and Sequined Kimono t-shirt<\/a>\u00a0is easy to put with jeans or that pencil skirt from Next.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Finally, my beloved Boden. I have a navy and gold glitter striped Breton from years ago which I wear at least once a week. They do <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boden.co.uk\/en-gb\/womens-tops-t-shirts\/long-sleeved-tops\/j0089\/womens-the-christmas-breton?w=STYLE_JUMP\">Christmas designs<\/a> which are beautiful. This <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boden.co.uk\/en-gb\/womens-skirts\/below-knee-skirts\/t0057-slv\/womens-silver-drapey-sequin-skirt?intid=FP_D11_Party_Women_CB1_CTA1_20171030\">Drapey Sequined<\/a> skirt is a thing of beauty. I&#8217;d wear it with a slouchy jumper and trainers but it can be partied up. If you want a statement piece (who doesn&#8217;t?) then this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boden.co.uk\/en-gb\/womens-coats-jackets\/blazers\/t0059\/womens-jacquard-party-blazer\">Jacquard Party Blazer<\/a> is the way to go.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So much shiny stuff, so little time. If I spot anything else when I&#8217;m out and about I&#8217;ll stick it on Instagram.
