Confessions of a ‘Sequin Hoarder’

I wish it would be December forever, so wearing sequin would be totally acceptable all the year round. I have quite a collection of stuff with sequin – a skirt, minis, dresses , a vest, bags  and I still can’t get enough of it. So I had to get Cheeky to own bling as well. After all, we are partners in crime. Saw this lovely matt gold and black dress by Mango and the sequin freak me was overjoyed when Cheeky bought it.

My ‘sneaky’ tips to wear sequin without looking like a Christmas tree –

• Mix your sequined pieces with basics. In the outfit below I have worn a basic white shirt with ruffles. Mix it with a casual t -shirt or a loose cardigan to tone out the sparkle.
• Go easy on the jewelry; since there is already enough bling in the outfit you can even give it a total miss.
• Red lipstick works amazing with gold and black sequins, again keep the rest of make up to basic.
• When you picking up a sequin outfit, try picking matte ones.

Since we haven’t done an outfit post for a long time, we decided to do a sequin and sparkle one. Hope you like it, and if you can take more of sequins I will happily flaunt my other prized possessions.
