I’ve never understood why things like sequins have to be reserved for special occasions. Why can’t we celebrate that it’s Thursday like it’s a Friday? (Insert dancing lady emoji) Why don’t we wear the sequin heels on a Monday just to celebrate that it’s a Monday? Anyway, these are a few of the thoughts I have as I’m being photographed in a sequin, backless dress on a Tuesday evening just because I want to wearing a sequin, backless dress on a Tuesday. If something makes you feel pretty, wear it, regardless of the day.
Dress: C/O Mint Julep Boutique
Booties: Target (very similar and on sale!)
Tights: Target (exact)
Clutch: Natasha (exact)
Earrings: BaubleBar (very similar)
Rings: Forever21 (exact) (exact) (exact)
Lipstick: Bite (exact)
Lipstick: Bite (exact)
So since I’ve felt pretty in this dress from Mint Julep, I want you to have a chance to feel pretty in your own piece from them, especially if you want to win something over this Valentine’s Day weekend. I firmly believe in being your own Valentine!

That is one sexy dress! I love that the earrings sort of mirrors the print of the dress. I agree that sequins should be worn all the time to celebrate everyday!

Wow, you rock this outfit darling! This dress is awesome and I love how you put this whole outfit together. You never cease to amaze me how you look casual yet dressed up all in one! I checked out the store that you bought the dress from and the earrings and it's I'm off to check those sites out. If I were younger (and rich) I'd have you redo my whole wardrobe. For now, you can't see much of what I wear and that is fine by me lol <3 hugs sent your way dear <3

Ohhh don't you look stunning! Love that dress, love the pattern!
I can tell you why I tend to reserve dresses like this for special occasions – if you wear it every day, you feel like you will need something MORE special for an occasion… and where do you go from bodycon sequins?

You're right! In fact, there might be something even more special about wearing a fabulous dress on Tuesday night rather than on a Friday night– since you're going against the status quo and what not. But regardless of if you wear it on a Tuesday or Friday, it's gorgeous on you either way 🙂

I agree with you? Why do we always have to save the "fun" pieces for certain days or occasion? It's such a shame and waste of great clothes!

I honestly believe sequins must be worn on a daily basis! At day, at night, for a casual walk or a special dinner, I think they can work best whenever! 😀 What can I say, I love sparkly stuff… 😀
And I looove your dress, the bare back made me go WOOOW!

Wearing sequins on a Tuesday is way more exciting than waiting for the weekend anyway 😉 It's like getting a Christmas present a day early.
Love this dress on you! It fits you like a glove…a sequined, fabulous, yet sexy glove lol.
