I was rather fascinated by a recent article published on Fashionista.com, noting that the glitter trend, sparkle sock boots a la Chanel, disco fanny packs and metallic skirts are still popular for a reason.
The gloomy state of current world affairs has sparked our need for fashion as escapism.
Add some shiny elements to your outfits that'll be sure to make them (and your mood) pop.
Shoes
Sparkly feet are essential. Keep your look balanced by adding a shiny number to a black or muted ensemble.
As with pearl detailing on grunge boots, we also like magpie-attracting design incorporated on tough-looking boots.
Shop:
Glitter block heel, MRP, R120.
Or get glitter sock boots, Superbalist.com, R499.
Fanny pack
Brighten your mood with a pop of glitter strapped to your chest.
Shop some cute fanny packs from Vintage Lover, online or in store at Almost Famous:

All in the styling
To prevent resembling a disco ball, I'd recommend one shiny item at a time. Play with metallic or glitter trousers, wrap tops or knits, pairing it with traditional items like jeans and check blazers.
Shop:
Grey glitter trousers, Mango at Spree.co.za, R599.
Glitter tights, Spree.co.za, R99.
