We must admit, we veer towards the Miranda Priestly style of thinking that dictates florals in spring are just a bit of a snooze-fest. The fictional fashion editor famously sneered at the print rocketing into popularity as soon as spring kicks in, but we wonder what she'd think of glorious sequins in the sunshine? Our inspiration - actress Eva Longoria who recently stepped out wearing a masterful layered ensemble that we plan on studying for the foreseeable, so grab your notebooks and let's take a deep dive. You may also like The Desperate Housewives actress has been doing the rounds promoting her new documentary Searching for Spain , described as a gastronomic pilgrimage across the land of her ancestors.
Sounds absolutely delicious! But it's her outfits of choice that have really got our attention. For an appearance on LIVE with Kelly and Mark Eva opted for something utterly unexpected for spring, a silver sequin slip dress that would look more at home at a Christmas party than the tail end of April. To make the sparkly number seasonally appropriate, Eva went for a masterful bit of layering and popped the dress on top of a sheer shirt in the palest of greys, (almost blue in the sunlight) that had Office Siren written all over it.
To complete the look, sky high silver heels and silver jewellery, of course, and her tried and tested beauty regime of a bouncy blow dry, soft smoky eye and a nude lip. She also stopped by Watch What Happens Live , so a quick mention for this glorious red hot mini dress is necessary. (We adore the cowl back and matchy-matchy heels too.
) Proving that jewel tones and a bit of sparkle aren't just for Christmas alone, but with a fresh take on accessories these pieces can find new life as the mercury rises. We're off to rifle through our Christmas party dress collection asap..
