Add More Coverage

 Hello Readers. Sometimes I find fun items at a thrift store but they don't always fit my style exactly. This sparkly sequin top was like that. I like sparkle and shine as much as anyone. But, these thin straps were a bit too narrow and the v-neck was a bit revealing for me. (Like what bra would I wear with this???) I had an idea to fix this problem. And there is NO SEWING NEEDED!

 Before and after. 

 I know this is a spaghetti strap top but spaghetti straps don't suit me very well. I wouldn't want to wear it by itself. (If you want to wear it alone go for it. It is cute, it's just not for me.You should wear what you like.)

 

What if we pretend it is more like a vest. Like a sweater vest. It could be worn on top of something else to add more coverage. It could go on top of this black blouse. The blouse has a bit of sheen and is a bit dressy already. It would be a really fun match to the sequin top. 

Wearing the sequin top over the blouse is just as dressy but I can wear a regular bra with it. (Yay!) And it is better for chilly weather as well. I want to dress up, be sparkly, and be warm enough too.

I tried this idea with this cream colored sequin top too. (Similar here.) It was a gorgeous little top but it was also cropped and would probably reveal too much stomach for me. (I have 3 kids, my stretched out belly button is my own business.)

 

 I could put the sequin top over a dressy button-down top like this. It was in a similar color to the sequin top. It would add coverage without losing or hiding the sparkle of this fun sequin top. (Similar button-down here.)

 

 I really liked these two tops layered together. I would love to wear this combo to a party, dinner date, grocery store, wherever. Of course, everyone can wear what they like so use this idea if and when it works for you. Thanks for reading along, now go wear something fun.
