mrs. { metalica }

as seen last week, metallics are making a come-back for this fall.  i absolutely adore their pairing with a solid, deep color or even a slumpy sweater or pant.  they really make any drab outfit look rich and carefully pieced.  i jumped ahead of the game last year and purchased this 'to die for' sequin skirt from jcrew.  i am anxiously awaiting to wear it out to dinner or an event since the disco-ball-esque appearance may be too much for walking across campus.
