I will be honest: I've never been a big fan of sequins. Could have something to do with an early childhood memory of my mother over-embellishing her tops with hand-sewn sequins and beads. So kitsch!
But of course, the cyclical nature of fashion will dictate that at some point all that bling will come back in style - with a vengence. I guess mum was actually ahead of the fashion curve. Recently we've seen sequins encrusting everything from tops to shoes, making my mum's bedazzled customisations seem reserved by comparison. Despite this I have made it a point to stay away from all that shimmery silliness...
Though I have to admit to a morbid fascination with the black sequin blazer. I think they look pretty rock chic, particularly with distressed skinny jeans. I have also seen some gorgeous looks with denim shorts, black leggings, and shirt dresses.

I saw a black sequin jacket similar to the one above in a shop the other day, and was close to buying it. But could I pull it off? Perhaps I am still feeling a bit of that old sequin-phobia, because I left it on the rack.
Where would you wear a black sequin blazer? What would you wear with it?
I saw one at Warehouse the other day! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI'd probably pair it up with a short structured dress, the shorter the better, lol! ^_^
That does sound cool. I guess once you get over the "but it's covered in sequins thing" there's plenty of possibilities for outfits. I just need to go out more often... :p
ReplyDeleteI say 'YAY'! And yes you can pull it off and it's good for clubbing and if you're attending a night event :)
