Sequin, Sequins, SEQUINS!


It's Bling




A multi-coloured dreamworld. A recent purchase from an online vintage shop. I was very pleased after I had found this piece. I had been hunting for a sequenced blazer for a while  and the ones I had stumbled across in the past were very boring, 'safe' or just ugly. This one was loud, made out of silk, hand-made, had shoulder pads and one of a kind. I love how it fastens on the neck line and makes it look like a kind off Indian style sherwani jacket.. The extravagant, shiny detailing  gives the impression it should be part of a costume and should be worn in a theatrical act as it is a bit of a statement piece after all. I will team this with  black skinny jeans and top. I know many will find this blazer insanely disgusting but as Marmite says " you either love it, or hate it." 



So I purchased another..... quite different this time, has a bit of a 'granny' effect and looks like it should be worn by the older generation. Both  purchased from the same store and I am very happy.
