I love the idea of lace shorts, but haven’t gone near them for fear that I won’t be able to pull them off. Today’s my lucky day: not only did one stylish girl figure out a gorgeous way to wear lace shorts, but she layered it so that you can actually wear them in the winter. Throw a pair of fleece tights under them and a pair of booties and you’re ready to hit the town. It’s a great idea for festive attire only holiday parties in lieu of party dresses, too.

So. I’m really into sequins. Maybe a bit too much: but they’re so in right now, so why not have fun with them? I can totally get away with wearing a sequin jacket to work, but I know that doesn’t fly in most offices. Which is why when I peeped this street style outfit inspiration, I had to share it with you. This girl totally rocks sequins in an almost secret kind of way–like she’s headed to an underground club right after she clocks out at 6 on Friday. Would you try wearing sequins to work if it was covertly, like the look above? The key is to go monochromatic, and of course, have fun with it! I probably wouldn’t try it at an investment banking firm, but it could work if your desk is rather large…

Get the look.

Get the look Sea of Shoes is rocking here for yourself. Personally, I’m partial to these cool patterned sweaters and the way the whole look comes together with a great scarf and suede gloves.
