Today’s trend report is inspired by the lovely Mary Kate Olsen. The petite actress and business mogul is known for her eclectic style and love for vintage. I love MK because she has never tried to be anybody other than herself. She wears what she likes and doesn’t care what anybody else says. Here we see her wearing a vintage sequined dress back in ’06. It is so simple chic! And this look got us thinking about how to wear sequins for New Years.

Sequins are a sure way to add dazzle to a night out. With New Years Eve coming up I got to thinking about how many people will really be going all out glamour for the big night. I suspect that most people will be doing something low key this year instead. But that doesn’t mean you can’t add some glitz to your glam and pull off a casual chic look like MK that is perfect for a dinner party, bar hopping, or get together with friends.

What is so awesome about these pull over sequined sweater ideas is that one can really dress it up or dress it down. I love the idea of pulling on one of these over some skinny jeans and heels and hitting the town!
