Sequins!!

Back in the day, I really diskliked anything with sequins on it...it always looked cheap and slutty to me. But that was in the early days of the new millenium, when most sequined items in stores actually looked cheap and slutty...BUT even longer ago, sequins managed to have a different effect: they made you look GLAMOROUS. I discovered my love for sequined items only quite recently when working in London and one of my colleagues wore this amazing sequined top! White, with thin blue stripes all over and long sleeves. To say it in her words, it was "amaze"! Then, days later, I spotted a similar one on Jane Aldridge's blog Sea of Shoes. It resembles the one of my colleague a lot! Ever since, I've been looking all over ebay for a similar one, but it's kinda hard to find, especially on a low budget! And then you never know about the fit...sequins are tricky! They don't stretch...so wish my luck!

But here are some inspirations of other, nice sequined items in the meantime..:
