25 Holiday Party-Ready Excuses to Wear Something Sparkly

We all love a little sparkle in our lives, whether it comes from a subtly embellished clutch or the clasp on a wallet. But wearing rhinestones or (god forbid) an excess of sequins to the office unfortunately hasn't hit mainstream status yet.

Here's the good news: the holidays are a great excuse to blind your friends with bling after hours. It's a time of celebration, after all, and a bit of extra brilliance here and there is all in the jubilant spirit of the season. We've singled out 25 glittering pieces to make you the star of the party.
