A few days ago I purchased a rather inexpensive, black, sequined tank top. The front is totally covered in sequins, the back is just black. Now usually I would shy away from things covered in sequins, as I have always found them a little too "vegas showgirl" for my liking, but I thought it might be fun to try wearing more glitzy and glam clothes to parties/dinners. I think pairing the top with heels and jeans should work well.
Do you like sequins?

Tomorrow, as some of you know, is a public holiday here in South Africa. Its Heritage Day and National Braai Day. So, I am off to go and enjoy a braai (aka barbecue). I doubt I will post tomorrow as I will probably be too busy eating meat, making salad and going for rides on The Boyfs bike.
Catch you all on Friday :)

ReplyDeleteDon't know about sequins ... No, no, not really my style.
ReplyDeleteYeah ... think I might be addicted to blogging. I've already got blog post topic.
I bought a black dress with some sequins about a year ago and normally I am not a fan. But I have to say that was a fantastic buy - so I think it really just depends!
ReplyDeleteSequins do ad a "glam" factor. Yes, your top with some jeans and heels will surely make you the belle of the ball, er, braai.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous time!
xo, Mango
Enjoy your hol! I can't wait, just hope it's sunny! :)
ReplyDeleteSuperficial girl - I think im strating to like them too.
ReplyDeleteSid - Im definintely addicted to blogging to
Lettice - i agree. like i would never wear a hat with sequins on it.
Mango girl - Thanks :)
Lana - Thanks, you too. I hear it may rain a little...hope its a lie
i used to think i couldn't do a bit of glam.but i'm now trying it a bit and love it! LOVe sequins but still looking a cute and cheap one!have a nice long weekend!x
ReplyDeleteI think sequins can be glam depending on if you pair them with relatively neutral and not-so-flashy pants/skirt and other accessories. A little goes a long way.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I heart you and your Gossip Girl love.
chuck n blair r one of the greatest reasons y i love GG :)
ReplyDeletehave a great holiday and braai!
ReplyDeleteI found that sequins are itchy and catch on things. I didn't know that until last Christmas when mom gave me a sequined vest.
ReplyDeleteI have to wonder how performers put up with them?
I'm soooo very very in love with Blair and Chuck! That scene at the end of Season 2 was the best scene on televsion EVER!
ReplyDeleteDont' particularly care for Sequins, but I bet they look good on you.
ReplyDeleteYay for Gossip Girl Season 3!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not a sequin fan. They looove sequins in the UK though. I bet you could pull them off.
ReplyDeleteSequins are fantastic! Nothing wrong with a little showgirl sometimes. Just try not to get carried away and go head to toe sequins! Enjoy your day off, very jealous!
ReplyDeleteThe top sounds great! I love adding different items to a simple outfit to make it special!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great hoilday. :)
Have a fruitful day ahead and good luck on that event “heritage day and national Braai day. I hope you can update us all about it.
ReplyDeleteThat must be very exciting! Eating tasting different kinds of traditional food all day! I’ll look forward on your next blog.
ReplyDeleteSo with you on Blair and Chuck...LOVE THEM!
ReplyDeleteProbably the only reason i watch GG.
Have a great Heritage Day!
Do you have access to Season 3?????? I'm almost done with Season 2. So glad to hear I have another 25 odd episodes to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteThe top sounds nice - I share your sentiments on sequins but worn in the right way can look stunning!
Have a great weekend x
Waha... I hope Heritage and Braai day was as fab for you as it was for me!
ReplyDeleteSequins and me don't get along. I just have bad associations with the things.
