There’s nothing I love more than stripes and sequins. And this top from Loft combines the two! The sequins give it a more dressy, fun look and the black and white stripes make it a blank canvas for you to add pops of color!
For example, you can start with the top and basic black on bottom (or jeans).
Shirt: Loft (option, option, option)
Then, you can remix it by adding a color bottom (skirts/tights or pants), or even a colored top (cardigan or blazer.) Accessories like scarves or earrings/belts in a fun color would also add a nice pop to the outfit, especially if you wear it with black pants or jeans.

And who said you couldn’t wear sequins at work?! All of these options are fun yet professional enough for an office setting. {And be sure to check out Erin’s 4 simple rules on wearing sequins to the office…}
Have you worn sequins to the office before?

Great ideas for getting several looks out of this beautiful top! I think my favorite is the colored denim look. I agree that sequins, if done correctly, can totally be office appropriate. Office-wear can be a real drag if we don’t mix it up once in a while!

Exactly– we need some sequins thrown in there to bring some sparkle to the office! Thanks for reading!
Thanks for the shout-out!
Thank YOU for the helpful hints on sequins! :-)
I love this kind of post. :) It’s fun to see the different ways you’ve worn the top, plus bonus material of links to the way other people wear the same piece! And can I just say I love your smile? Thanks so much for linking up today! -Gina

Thank you Gina- I appreciate it! To quote Buddy the Elf, “I love smiling, smiling’s my favorite!” :-)
This is such a great top! You’re right, so versatile and work appropriate!
Thanks Inge! Can’t wait to remix it again and again!
I just love this top! It’s so adorable it looks good anyway you wear it!
Thank you Laura! I can’t wait to remix it several more ways- it’s like a blank canvas really!
I love sequins, so I think that top is great! Plus, you are so good at mixing it – I tend to just pair everything with jeans or a black skirt…
Thank you so much Anna Belle! I’ve come a long way, trust me. I used to be in a black pants/skirt, jeans rut, but reading blogs have definitely broadened my horizons!
I wear sequins to work all the time! But I work in a corporate creative atmosphere, and I definitely push the limit on that to say the least! I love all the ways you’ve styled this! Such a great piece! It would also be awesome with a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans and a colorful pair of heels!
Thanks for coming back for Manic Monday!!
They are so fun for work because I feel like they aren’t worn that often, so I’m glad we are bringing the sparkle! I definitely plan to wear it with jeans an an olive army jacket next!
I LOVE that top and I am so with you. What is better than sequins AND stripes? Really?
Exactly my thoughts! :-) Thanks Lyd!
That top is gorgeous. My mom tried to track it down for me but the 2 stores she went to it was sold out. You styled it great all 4 times. I love it paired with the Cobalt and the Hot Pink.
Thanks Ada! I remember when this shirt came out and it sold out almost instantly. I actually found mine on eBay so I’d search there- you never know!
The sequin accents just really make this top so fun! I really love the way it looks paired with the bright pink blazer!
Me too- I think that’s my favorite look. Thanks Lauren!
that is such a pretty top! i don’t own any sequins but when i see tops like this, i wonder why i don’t! i love the look with the cobalt blue skirt!
Thanks Heidi! I hadn’t owned any sparkles previously either- the stripes in combo with the sequins just caught me eye. Who would have thought it was so remixable?!
I love this top and so wish I’d gotten it, I’ll have to check out the other options you listed. Cute remix!
That top is so versatile. Love it.

Love that top! You are really good at remixing pieces for a new, fresh look. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us, Valerie! :)
Thank you so much Caitlin- it’s been fun trying to remix items instead of buying new ones- that’s for sure!
I genuinely love that top and remember when it first came out, I kept seeing it on bloggers and I wanted it so bad! I love it so much, and I think today’s outfit is so cute!
