Are these leggings not phenomenal!?

I've fallen victim to the sequin trend which has always been one of those things in my book that is taboo and tacky, up there with gingham, animal prints, and rhinestones. However, I'm obsessed. 

I'm convinced it was Serena Van Der Woodsen on Gossip Girl that changed my mind and the minds of fashionistas everywhere. In the pilot, she wore the coolest Alice and Olivia dress, back when she was under the radar, and it was a cascade of gold sequins that made her look STUNNING. Not that that's hard to do. 

Anyway, to be trendy today will cost you $1,495 at Net-A-Porter.com.

Oh, the woes of working a retail job.
