    This post is golden. I am really loving gold all of a sudden. I used to equate golden metallics with old ladies. I have changed my mind about this magnificent metal.

    I love how bright metallics are back in style. With so many dark
    dresses out there, its so very
    refreshing to see a little color.

    metallics are very specific, the quality of the fabric always shows through. It's either amazing or trashy, there is no middle ground.

    I SHOULD be tired of metallics by now, but there's something about them that makes me really, really happy. Especially when it comes to sequins. Yay.

    SPARKLE in the new year! Is it true that if you wear one of these shiny ensembles, you can NEVER be without a glass of shampoo!
    Shampoo=champagne via a child not being able to say champagne... that was one I learned from my son... sooooo I find it hard not to call it shampoo.. adn oh how I ADORE my shampoo! Yes... you may use my word! LOL
