Infuse demure and classic with a bit of glittery glam and you will instantly up your style factor a few notches. We are loving a bit of sparkle (used sparingly) in the form of a sequin cardigan or sequin tee worn with denim, or black pants. Dazzle them with a knock out statement sequin clutch such as this Prada ombre style or make your toes twinkle with a pair of sequined ballet flats. The sequin wearing rules require complete restraint or you could be mistaken for a stray fireworks accident this Independence Day.
