Sequins?  Check.  Pastel florals?  Check.  Unicorn?  Check.  It's official, Disney disco, these looks are for you!  Not, as far as I know, that there was ever a unicorn prancing around the Magic Kingdom or Studio 54.  But there should be.  Princesses and party people, you're welcome.

When you think about it, sequins are pretty amazing.  They're basically shiny pieces of trash, yet the easiest way to elevate any outfit to New Year's Eve or happily-ever-after.  Speaking of which, I was lucky enough to snag both of these out-on-the-town tinsely minis on clearance. 

As any shopper worth her change purse knows, glitzy getups go out the window with the last Christmas candle. In other words, post holiday is prime time to stock up on dress-up duds.  That's when I got the silver skirt.  I didn't get the rose one until a few weeks ago, when it was only $7.50.  Mama mia, that's a bargain for a Dancing Queen on a commoner's budget!

Next up, '70s Cinderella in -- polyurethane not glass, because why risk a bloody ankle? -- platforms.  

I can already hear the ABBA/Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo mashup hypnotizing cosplay-clad hipsters.

Exciting! You definitely know what to look for! I do have to have at least a Dollar Tree adventure once a month. And I am always amazed that I bring back more than I should. Especially, when it comes to books. Generally, I'll go to look for journals and some food items. Occasionally, I'll even find a DVD I always wanted to watch but could never find. Oh, and for crafting! Socks for sock creatures and even tiny crochet hooks..which I generally can't find at the fabric store. Love your wardrobe! & your posts too!

These are some seriously cool outfits and the sequins are an awesome touch!!! The blue top with the silver skirt definitely has that Cinderella vibe going on. And the unicorn bag is the magical icing on the cake! The floral top is such a cool style of print and cut. I love this Cinderella and ABBA mashup you came up with!!!
