When I was a kid my family would always get the most beautiful Christmas tree and on a few occasions the finishing touch to decorating the tree was draping silver tinsel on the branches. As a kid, I thought this looked pretty, especially with the multi-colored lights reflecting off of the tinsel. Gradually, I came to find this tradition to be a little gaudy and I suppose trends also change. Now, as an adult, I guess you could say I am back to loving tinsel, albeit this time it's in the form of a colorful peplum top! This peplum top, which is another piece that I scored from the Halogen x Atlantic Pacific collection, is the perfect top for the holidays be it for a Christmas party or for NYE!
I wore the top out for just a lunch date with my husband (he said I was overdressed for the occasion, but I am always over dressed!) so I decided to go with a more casual take on the look with a pair of skinny jeans and these pink flats. If I were to go to a party or something more formal, I think some black velvet pants might also look amazing with the top! For those of you who want an even dressier look, this tinsel fabric also come in a dress, which is equally stunning and saves you from going through the effort of figuring out what to wear as a bottom! As you can see, I am head over heels in love this fabric, perhaps so much so that I just might reconsider putting tinsel on the tree this year, although maybe it's better on a top than a tree!
