The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of holiday parties, Christmas tree lightings, and family events. My goal was to wear at least one thing sparkly to all of them. Now that the holidays are over and the New Year has rung in, I am vowing to keep my dedication to sparkles and over the top glitz strong!

With a few upcoming depressing months weather wise, why not brighten up your office, your yoga class, or your dinner parties with a touch of shine, a super sparkly pair of earrings, or a brightly colored necklace? I wore my multi-strand pearl necklace to four different events last month. It looks ridiculously over the top with my cardigans at work, but can dress up any outfit.

Here are some of my favorite choices to glitz up your January. I love how the pencil skirt can be paired with a basic button up to wear during the day. And big, bold, glitzy jewelry goes with everything!

How will you brighten up the gloomy weather?
