Bling, Bling, Bling...Sequin Scarf Cardi Goes to a Party!!!

I am super-excited to do this review. I knew that the polyvore was pretty popular, but I wasn't sure that the outfit would work in real life. I am glad to say that the polyvore outfit looked good in real life!!! (For those of us polyvore addicts, haven't you had that one set you were sure that would LOOK AWESOME and then you actually wore it and it was kind of "meh?")

By the way, many of my super-wonderful Bloggie Friends have nominated me for an award, and I want to take this moment to thank all of you!!! I have to find a few minutes to myself to do the post on it, but I am very grateful. :) (I felt like I wanted you all to know that I was aware of it, and not ignoring it!!!)


So here is the outfit in the polyvore. All the info you need to buy it is in the polyvore. (Except the Cocodrillo Skirt, that is a Collection piece that was in-store only and was from the summer...I believe this skirt has appeared on ebay, though.)


Cardigan: Size Small, Black. Sold-out in most colors on-line, but maybe a pop-back? Tee: Size X-Small, White. Skirt: Size 8, Coccodrillo Print. Shoes: Size 10, Azul Blue. Bag: Spring Daisy (?).

The cardigan is very pretty, and shimmery. The sequins are very TIGHTLY strung on...and since I am kind of a freak about sequins, they MUST be really well-done in order for me to wear the piece of clothing. This cardigan had ONE small sequin that fell off. There are HUNDREDS of sequins on this cardigan, so I was more than pleased.

I found the cardigan to be comfy and the stand-up collar did not bother me at all. I have heard that it has bothered some folks, so if you do buy it, and you have a sensitive neck, this may not be the piece for you.

I know some folks have done reviews of this cardigan, if you have can you leave the link in your comment??? THANK YOU!

I liked that I bought the small...the medium would have hung poorly on me.

You have seen the skirt before here, the shoes here, and the bag here.


This is my fave shot of the night because I have my little darling posing, too. So cute. Her dress is slowly becoming a top (she keeps growing!!!). Right now I would say it is a tunic. :)


Here is the outfit on me, sans Cardigan. So you know, I did NOT take the cardi off at the party.

By the way, I was wearing more makeup than I ever do. I look at myself wearing that much makeup and I feel weird about it. Normal makeup for me is a tiny bit of lip gloss, some powder, and maybe mascara.

Have a great day. Now off to comment back on some past posts!!!

My outfit of today will be published later. Still trying to decide what I want to wear...
