I definitely like a little Midas touch in my wardrobe. Usually it's more gold jewelry than lurex tights or this rather glam pleated skirt, but every so often it's nice to over-indulge in metallics. Outfits like this make me want to dress more fancy on the regular--to wear sequins during the day and pile on excessive amounts of jewelry. But then my sequins get caught on my mittens or scratch my legs and the jewelry just conducts cold winter air against my skin that much faster (I've even stopped wearing my favorite rings that never leave my fingers in warmer months). It's so hard to find that balance between idealism and reality.
