When I was a kid the only sequins I had were on my baton costume that my Mom had to sew on her own. I can still hear her yelling at the sewing machine.
In the last 2 years I’ve gotten all of my baton twirling mojo back and picked up from where I left off as an 8 year old, flaunting my sequins during the day.
This yellow top is made with matte sequins which makes it ideal for day wear if you don’t want to come across too trashy flashy.
Speaking of flashy…
and baton twirling…
Just checkin’ to see if you’re paying attention.
That is me up there wonding how I segwayed from Libarace to me in a pencil skirt.
That or there is a very large spider on the wall that I just noticed.
I know this daytime look might be a bit out there for some of you but for me I loved it.
I could have worn the top with jeans instead to dress it down more but I like the glamour of the maxi and it was great in the summer heat.
Here is living proof that sequins on sequins can be done.
You know how they call jeans on jeans a Texas Tuxedo?
Sequins on sequins is a Vegas Tuxedo.
You heard it here first folks.
Another version of a Vegas Tuxedo. You might be fooled into thinking this is a dress…but it’s not.
Chambray and sequins.
Because I think we all know by know, chambray goes with everything.
Switching gears I’ve gone all French with some extra wide palazzo pants.
Yes even French people like sequins.
Wine, smelly cheese, Gauloises, fresh baquettes and sequins.
It’s a well known fact.

I’m a poet and I didn’t know it!

For those of you that think a woman over the age of 40 should not wear funky hats… look away now.
I warned you.
Getting serious about the sequins now… because you know…it is such a serious subject…
this is one of my all time favourite outfits.
It screams,
“Yeah I’m badass and fancy! ”
This look is fine…if you like vanilla.
Me, I prefer chocolate or salted caramel so I prefer this…
This is a bit more corporate…
And this is me being artsy just a walkin’ the rails in my sequins.
It’s a song Jonny Cash forgot to write.
So just to recap: My tips on how to wear sequins during the day
1. Treat them like any other textured piece of clothing.
2. Don’t be afraid to let your inner Elvis hang out.
3. You might not need as many accessories.
4. Your inner sparkle will become your outer sparkle and really, isn’t that what we all want?
What is your favourite way to wear sequins during the day?
