Planning for the Aussie Curves metallic week started around here about the time that I used one of the only metal toned items I owned in the last Target post. I realised soon afterwards that this theme was coming up and I get a little stuck with what I might do. I don’t own a lot of metal toned items. Even though I’d LOVE some rose gold toe capped shoes… BUT I had this chain link necklace with three tone metal from the clothes swap in November and figured I’d build something around that.
Then I got sick. And tired. And sick and tired.
So for the first time in eons, I’m posting an outfit I put together specifically for the theme, wore for 5 minutes and took off. Before crawling back into bed, obviously. The necklace is still in but no longer the focus and I’m really happy with the result, I even look awake and like I’m set for a night out with the girls that involves a casual dinner and lots of drinks. Casual cool. I mean sparkle, silver sequins leggings, how could I not!?
These sequins leggings from ASOS Curve are on loan to me from Nat, are a size 22 and are for sale for $20 + postage if you’d like them. I have the pictures without the black and white filter if you want the colour details etc, just email me. The black and white analogue film filter is in use as a distraction so you won’t notice I’m dying a little. Filter win.
So yes! Metallic week. Not so smooth but still has turned out quite well, I think. Metallic is such a versatile and trendy item that you can make just about any outfit look modern and on trend using it. I see and hear a lot about rose gold at the moment {still} and for me, I can’t go past silver. So choose your metal and layer it on and congratulate yourself for being such a cool kid.
That’s about it from me. I’m going back to bed.

Thanks lovely. xo
feel better soon 🙂
Thanks KP. xo
The necklace is from equip! I have the same one!
Oooo! THANKS.
You look so chic! I love everything about this outfit. Are the leggings a bit scratchy?
Thank you Sophie. And surprisingly, no! They aren’t itchy or scratchy at all. I think they must be double layer or something.
As soon as you feel better you should go for a drink dressed like this! It´s such a fun and chic outfit.
Thank you. It certainly turned out well and has inspired me to drag out my patterned pants again. I’ll be going for a drink but I’ve already sold the leggings so the new owner probably wants them. Haha.
Love the look, those leggings are amazing. Get better soon! 🙂

Thank you lovely. The leggings are pretty darn cool. Too bad I live in the country and they’d never get worn. Remind me to get out more, would you. 😉
Sure. Though I’m a massive fan of dressing up for the hell of it wherever I go, it’s good fun! 🙂
Haha. Love it. Dressing up IS lots of fun.
I’ve been tempted by these but have the same question as Sophie about whether they’re scratchy? i find sometimes when I wear sequins that I’m left with a lot of teeny tiny scratches/cuts 🙁
They really aren’t scratchy at all. I wore them in the car, for the photos, a trip through a drive thru and home again without a single itch. It’s a miracle. That NEVER happens. Sequins can and usually are killer. I think these are double layered or something.
Those leggings are FABULOUS! Love how the glitz is on the front and black on the back. And if you hadn’t said you were sick I would have never have guessed, you’re looking as sparkly as ever! I’m with you, silver all the way! 🙂
A bit awesome, right!? Glad to have found them a new home for Nat.
Haha. Thank you. The cold and flu medicine must’ve kicked in. 😉
Love the black and white shots! you look really pretty despite being sick x
Thank you hun, those filters help a bundle, they worked out beautifully.
you hide it well Mel – couldn’t really tell you were sick. I own those tights but have never worn them…. Get better soon
Thanks Claire, maybe I need to stop mentioning it. If you want to sell yours, I have some ladies who missed out who would pay the $20 + postage…. Hmmm? Hoarder? 😛
not hoarder…..just haven’t found the perfect occasion. and that comment may find you banned from my wardrobe…
Baahaha. Sen-se-tive! No problem, you keep your pants but PLEASE don’t ban me from the wardrobe. What if I promise not to touch? 😛
There is no other way to describe those pants other than fabulous! haha
Indeed! Sparkly goodness.
Looking fierce lady! 😉
Thank you muchly.
Love, love, love those leggings! They look super hot on you! x
Thank you muchly LA.
Those leggings are WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be very careful where you leave them…… 😉
Thank you. And I just sold them! Haha. I really am cut throat when it comes to my clothes choices. 😉
Love those leggings! love the black and white photos this week too! gorgeous lady!
Thank you. The leggings really are very cool. Not much opportunity to wear them in my little town though, so off they go to a new home.
I know they weren’t that popular with people so I appreciate that. Last night I even went to put the colour ones back in. Haha.
Those legging are amazing! hope you are well and truly on the road to recovery now x
Thank you lovely, I am feeling better. Worn out after the last few days at work but glad to have the weekend to rest again! WIN.
I have been so tempted by those leggings, you look great!
Thank you! 🙂
