Get Ready to Shine with Sequins

In a little less than a month, I will be attending the Problogger Conference on the Gold Coast. I’m looking forward to it immensely. I had a friend and blogger ask me to do a post about possible outfit ideas for the networking party on Friday night. When I read the theme was ‘shine’ I immediately thought sequins. Sequins have been a trend that comes and goes but I think they will be big this Summer with all over sequin tees being worn casually with shorts or jeans.

I haven’t quite thought about what I will wear but I do think it will involve sequins in some shape of form. Sequins are the perfect way to shine at a party. To wear your sequin piece right my tips are to pair 1 sequin piece with basic neutral pieces. Your sequin top or skirt is the show piece of your outfit so pair it with plain black pants or a plain white tee.

This is what I wore last year to the Annie Sloan Cocktail Party and the Kidspot Gala Awards night. I teamed a sequin bolero with my black Millers Jumpsuit. I may wear this again a third time to get more wear out of my jumpsuit.

I have searched the internet for some budget pieces with most under $100 if you are wanting to give the sequin trend a go. If you are ready to embrace the trend why not go for an all sequin tee or dress? If sequins are a little too ‘sparkly’ for your style, add it subtly with a simple scarf that can be draped over a blazer and jeans outfit.
