Sparkly, shimmering, metallic denim is a really fun idea, and most of us have no problem pulling on the sequins and the shiny coated threads for big nights like New Years Eve (heck, we’re guilty as charged and there are facebook photos to prove it)—but what about January 2nd onward? Would you wear these glittery purple jeans, or do they remind you too much of early David Bowie costumes? Let us know on facebook!
Shine On Jeans ($98) – buy them at Nasty Gal.
