Filed under: Fashion, Best of the Season, Designers & Brands
A shirt dress can never be bad, and the Button Front Shirt Dress by Gold Hawk is a classic button up shirt minidress that gets contemporary with flashy gold snap buttons. The dress also features double breast pockets as well as two lower flap pockets. Long sleeves are tiered with flare at the cuffs. The dress is 100% silk and comes in a dark blue called "Bijou." The perfect pair of shoes for this dress would most definitely be a pair of gold metallic peep-toe pumps, naturally.Available at Couture Candy for $209.

As you may know sequins and beading are TOTALLY IN STYLE this season. However, it has come to my attention that a little guidance on how to wear this trend might be necessary.
First of all, red sequins are unlikely to ever be aa good thing. I had the misfortune of seeing two women wearing red sequin tops last night, which inspired me to write this piece.
Generally speaking, the sequins or beading should not be ALL OVER the garment, but rather in bits and pieces. Think of a camisole and just the front is beaded. The exception to this might be a mini-dress in black, gold, gray, or silver sequins. Neutral colored beading or sequins tend to look more sophisticated.
The sequin and bead trend is not only reserved for dressy attire, you can easily incorporate them into your night on the town wardrobe. We love a cute beaded or sequined top with a pair of great jeans.
While we can’t show you all the good and bad examples, we suggest asking yourself “does this look modern”? If you answer “no” to that question, leave it on the rack!
This top by Interlud is a perfect example of a modern and chic way of integrating beading. We hope you SPARKLE this holiday season without blinding anyone.
