Day Two Hundy in the house!! Woo hoo!! In celebration of hitting the big, round, number 200, I'm going with sparkles and shine today! I heart me some sequins, and sequins are what's in store today. Ready for some glitz??

Hello metallic, sequined, some sort of top!! Now I did find this at a pile sale and purchased it for a buck solely because the entire thing was covered in round, varied sized sequins. Not until I got home and washed this sucker did I see all the random openings, side slits and holes made on purpose on many of the seams. Take a look for yourself.

There was also too much of that metallic ribbon hanging around which I needed to get rid of stat. First step, I seam ripped all the ribbon that was draping, hanging, and working as a belt. Off it all went!

After removing all the ribbon I began my pinning escapade, let's go, which included me closing up the random holes on the arm seams, the slits on the sides that went from my waist to my hips, and the openings on the bottom of the sleeves with about 60 pins.

Out came my sewing machine to really close up shop.

It was all sewn up, however I still wasn't completely thrilled yet. To bring it to the WOW factor I wanted, I cut a line down the center of the piece and stitched under the raw edges.

Now we were cooking with gas!! My new slightly cardigan/blinged out cover up was ready to be taken to the streets.

Well hello spangles!! Chic, shimmery, and shiny describes my new piece as well as how I'm feeling on this lovely Day 200!

A little fist pumping to celebrate...

with some excitement filled jumps...

...that may or may not have included a little bit of Elaine's dance from the J. Peterman office party scene in "The Little Kicks" ep of Seinfeld.
