Nothing says holiday like sequins! Sequined sweaters are great for the holidays when they can be donned at a party or shopping for gifts in a pair of jeans. I LOVE sequin sweaters, but only when they are ever so slightly adorned and give a vintage feel; not in that bedazzled kind of way! And I’m not the only one who adores les sequins, designers love working with sequins too and as usual their creations result in a designer price tag, ouch. But it doesn’t have to be that way!

Here’s a simple and cheap get the look How-To:
