How To Wear.. Sequins! (WITHOUT Looking Like An Extra From 'Priscilla: Queen Of The Desert') ♥
October 27, 2009

 

Fact: I LOVE sequins! They've forever been my favourite choice of embellishment, so much so that once upon a time, I decided that I would wear a sequined piece every day, as some sort of personal statement and tribute to my eternal love of all things shiny. This plan was quickly thwarted once I discovered that I only owned one sequined dress (of criminally short proportions!), a cardigan and a bangle, but my enchantment has never diminished. A common complaint about sequins, however, is that they're impossible to wear without appearing marginally showgirl-esque, or strictly at evenings.. so here's some ideas on how to integrate them into your daily routine, or with even the simplest of outfits!

x A Fabulous Pair Of Shoes

A sprinkle of sequins on a pair of shoes can add an injection of allurement to even the most ho-hum of outfits! Subtle enough to appease your inner magpie and play nicely with a casual get-up of jeans and a tee, but luxurious enough to make people scratch their heads with quiet wonder and look twice..

x An Exquisite Headpiece

There are some mornings where it's apparent that the only remedies for an impromptu attack of grump-itis are hiding under a blanket, watching multiple episodes of Sex & The City and baking gingerbread men. For those where you can't, slip on a glitzy headband that says ''why yes, I DO still have to go into the office when I'm feeling about as cheerful as Marilyn Manson, but hey, at least I'm going to look DAMN cute while I'm at it!''

x A Dazzling Piece Of Arm Candy

Work it during the day with a pretty, swirly dress for a look that screams almost-fairytale-like FUN.

x Unusual Eye Make-up

It's possibly not for the shy at heart but gosh, isn't it PRETTY?! I am hereby immediately adding it to my list of things to try!
