You look great in that sequined top and I love the colour. You paired it with other items well and while I would have thought of grey I would not have thought of polka dots. I used to really dislike sequins and always picked them off but I've never had a top that is so heavily sequined as yours and I think that looks much better than the tops with random sequins which I remove. I am generally not big on sparkle though and tend to avoid it. Lately I have actually bought two tee shirts which feature a bit of crystal embellishments which I cannot remove and so I am growing more accustomed to sparkle.<br /><br />I love you home outfit! I think Vix and I would both say that comfort is paramount for us too (and Vix may have said that; I didn't read her comment) In fact it has been my mission to elevate the at home clothes because I always had the two extremes-the fancy clothes and the jeans/sweatpants outfits. I tend to leave off the accessories if I am not going out but I still want to enjoy clothing that makes me feel good, that I believe looks good and I enjoy. Proportionately I probably still have too many 'fancy' outfits for my lifestyle but I am also learning to wear things I used to save and think of as special.<br /><br />All that food looks delicious! I never get the flu so I cannot say what I do if I am home with it. I have varying levels of energy and ability but if I am really tired but not sleeping I will watch movies and knit. Glad you and Anna are better now.<br />xoxoxo Shawna McComberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296162660865309624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-45600848901281155652014-09-20T10:22:27.525-07:002014-09-20T10:22:27.525-07:00I love the sparkly look.

Have to confess that I like sequinned things and have quite a lot in my wardrobe, mostly those are dresses but a few tops as well. Perhaps living in Nepal makes it easier because people there just love wearing sparkly things.<br />As to dressing up at home, since childhood I hated "halat", my mom's favourite home wear and I always preferred simple but pretty dresses instead. Your phrase "my Mom's golden chain and the pendant which was actually my gift to her, and then she regifted it back to me" made me smile, because my mom does the same thing.Olga Ranihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875044569337689314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-84369198515072103882014-09-19T12:21:39.640-07:002014-09-19T12:21:39.640-07:00I am glad to know you are better, my glitter Natal...I am glad to know you are better, my glitter Natalia.<br />Tons of love and happy weekend<br />XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXmispapelicoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11209220366975722334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-28909707914001426282014-09-19T10:53:49.094-07:002014-09-19T10:53:49.094-07:00Ha!

Suzanne does that well, and so do you. Sorry to hear that you and Anna have both been ill, hope that both of you are feeling a lot better now. What I wear for messing around at home is no different to what I wear when I'm out and about; I have to be REALLY sick not to bother getting dressed as normal.

I like to wear it with oversized boyfriend jeans and high scrappy sandals when my husband and I go out to listen to jazz. I also have a cream and black stripe sequence t-shirt that I won on eBay. It's from J.crew and I've only worn it once. I have no idea why. I'll probably wear it with a leather pencil skirt this fall.<br /><br />Now, as far as my appearance at home...don't ask.Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07234209134434888157noreply@blogger.com
