The Rachel Zoe Minelli Top Makes Me Love Sequins.

Admittedly, I've never been the biggest fan of sequins. A lot of times they just look tacky and overdone -- and, especially on New Year's Eve, are so expected. But then I found the Rachel Zoe Minelli Top, and immediately, all bets were off.

I saw the top online about two months before I actually walked into Bergdorf Goodman to try it on. The second I slipped it over my head, I knew I had found a winner. The shape is slightly boxy but still fitted and supremely flattering, even on a larger bust and bigger middle. The sequins are glamorous but somehow understated, and depending on the light, may not even be extremely visible.

But the major selling point? I just felt so, SO chic the moment I put it on. And it helps that in the few times I've worn it, it's garnered compliments from everyone. Though, honestly, they're just icing on the cake, since I feel like a million bucks -- or, maybe, even like Liza Minelli, for whom the top is aptly named -- once I've worn it out on the town.
