Steel Magnolia: Silver, Sequin and Lurex Pieces in Cool Metals

Steel Magnolia is my name for everything that is hard on the outside and soft underneath: silver leather, sequins, lurex and cool gray metallics. The way I wear it is to keep one piece loud and the rest plain. Reformation's Lisa sequin top works with a pair of washed jeans, and AG's Saige silver wide leg jeans look best with a plain black ballet flat and a sweater. I went deeper on a related idea in Juju Vera Necklaces: Gold-Plated and Silver Pieces.

 

When I want a full look, I go for the silver leather corset and skirt pairing, or Isabel Marant's Lou sequin top under a big coat. The Self Portrait rhinestone wrap and Tibi's Pastille top are for evenings. Cultnaked's Power tank in white sequins is the one I would borrow from a friend, and a silver heel keeps the whole thing cool toned from head to toe. If you want to keep going, Minimal Gold and Silver Jewelry: Studs, Hoops and Everyday Pieces is the one I would read next.
