It’s not that hard to transform a regular work-a-day outfit into something special.

Which doesn’t mean SAVING it for something special. It’s still something for “everyday.” You’ll just FEEL more special. 🙂

Here are some ideas for injecting that je ne sais quoi into your outfits. You’ll notice there’s a theme.

1. Sparkly necklace. Love this necklace by Millianna.

2. Sparkly earrings. These are a little different from more common bright clear crystal jewelry.

3. Sparkly belt. Ok, this is gold, but the idea is the same: a special belt with drama. Check out the embellished belts at Anthropologie, too.

4. Sparkly shoes. These are for a party, of course. But they can also be worn for many other situations, with jeans or a skirt or dress. They’re like your basic black pumps, just more special.  

5. Anything else with sparkle. Whether it’s a dress with sparkle at the shoulders, a sparkly T-shirt,  or jeans like these, truly anything with sparkle will just make your everyday outfits that much more special.
