Sequins: Not So Scary
My entire life I have had a love/hate relationship with sequins. Sometimes I completely obsess over them, but others I get those scary flashbacks of the sequin dresses my grandma used to wear with the giant dime size sequins. Though I’m fairly timid when it comes to sequins, I love things that sparkle (I’m like a ferret). When I see these fantastically gorgeous and shiny dresses everyone from Sarah Jessica Parker to Hilary Duff have been wearing, I get really excited and sort of scared. One good thing about sequins is when you have a sequin mini on, you won’t have to worry about flashing a little too much tush because the sequins weigh the dress down.
Life & Style Weekly has a spread in their April 9th issue showing six of their fave sequin looks. Obviously I love the blue Alice + Olivia mini. SJP always looks so classy and cute. I just want to live in her closet and fondle all her clothes. The gray Michael Kors dress that Eva Longoria has on is totally cute too, but I feel like it doesn’t really flatter her little figure. She’s like a mini bombshell and I like her in dresses that accentuate her curves. Hilary Duff’s gold Dolce & Gabanna dress has those ginormous sequins that make me want to hide under my bed or in SJP’s closet. I’m not really sure how much I like the dress, but there’s sort of an awkward beauty going on with Hil in that picture.
For this reason alone I may be investing in a super shiny sequin shift. I’ve had one too many accidental flashing inccidents. You can look just like Sarah Jessica (almost) because you can buy the fab Alice + Olivia dress at Shopbop. It comes in blue and silver/gold. There is also a sleeveless version in silver/white. I personally love the mini in silver/gold, but as cliche as it sounds the blue makes Sarah Jessica Parker’s eyes pop.
