Sequins are a strong fashion statement: you cannot practically hide their effect, they are giving away the general direction you are heading for with your outfit! As they are a powerful accessory it it easy to combine them unsuitably and create a maybe ridiculous result. To avoid this, let's focus today on how the wear sequins for a stunning outfit! I collected a few photos to illustrate the small zone we are talking about between beautiful and please-get-the-fashion-police! (Please note: I do not intend to offend anybody. Everybody has the freedom to wear what he or she wants!).

• Do not just pick your favourite colour. Wearing a pink/lilac sequin jacket to the supermarket will of course be a head-turner, but will you be considered fashionable or in the best case a little courageous? Head for an understatement in colour.
  

• Avoid other glitter accessory! Keep the rest of the outfit as plain as possible regarding jewellery and make up (nail polish!). Black is always a good (and easy) combination solution. If you want to try something new, go for white or grey.

• Remember: Your life is not a costume party! (Unless you are attending one). Buying sequin shoes or jackets has a very strong effect on your wardrobe. Try to experiment in the beginning with small pieces like e.g. bags, purses, belts or vests. Carefully pick the occasions to wear them.

• Do not wear sequins if you do not like them. This might sound antic to you, but from some girls you get the impression they are just wearing something because it is a trend, not because they like it. What you wear is about your individual personality and what you prefer. Stick to that, always!

• Have fun! This is most essential message^^.

The photos and the comments will provide you with inspiration about sequin outfits! Last week I went with SH to a draper's shop to purchase fabric with black sequins^^. And yeah, I am excited about planning a DIY project with it! Watch out for this one! Do you have any sequin accessory?
Love,
