I used to have an aversion to sequins. I loved the look of them but hated the scratchiness. Annoying with a capital A. So I didn’t wear them. In fact I even sold many the sequin item that was given to me or purchased on a whim and inevitably discarded. This changed a little when I first slipped on this sequin bolero. It’s shiny and sparkly and beautiful. Win. And it’s COMFORTABLE and not scratchy. Double win.
So sequins and I got back on talking terms.
Then this skirt showed up.
Holy heck.
This skirt might just be THE item that changes everything for me. I mean LOOK AT IT. Just look. It’s sparkly goodness in a pint size package. And I do mean pint sized. It’s probably the littlest skirt I own out of plenty of little skirts. Sequins cost money I suppose, what can you do? Haha. I’ve only worn it once since purchasing it. It sort of seems like the sort of skirt that needs an occasion, you know? A party, a night on the town, a special occasion.

That skirt is amazing, and dddddammmmmn gurl, you look so amazing in this outfit!
Baaahaha. Love you Nat. Thank you so much. Can’t wait to see you later this month. SO exciting.
Love the sparkle. Great outfit š
Thanks Jo!
hubba hubba you look drop dead gorgeous! Skirt is awesome!
Thaaaaaaanks gorgeous! And yes, the skirt is awesome. Totally awesome.
Do you get scratched at all by the sequins when you wear it? And if so WHERE? hAHAHAH š
Nope, this one is completely lined by a thick ponte type fabric, you wouldn’t even know there was sequins there if your butt didn’t stick to stuff. Haha.
I’m totally with you on the scratchiness thing. I have to really REALLY love a sequinned piece to wear it. I love this outfit so much, wish I’d bought the skirt now!
Same, same! This one doesn’t scratch at all but you still have to be really careful to not grab it or pull it on stuff. Waaay too much hassle to do it too often for me. Lucky it’s pretty. Haha.
Thank you! x
Fabulous skirt with an awesome pattern and colours! Love it! I’m with you when it comes to the scratchiness of sequins…. waaaaaaaah, cos i love shiny things ;D
Thanks Alison! It was a great find, the pattern is my favourite thing. It’s stupid right? How has someone not come up with an alternative? Gosh.
that skirt is fabulous & you look smoking hot!! I wish I’d picked up one of these!
Thaaaaanks Katie! It was such a great find. And a third of the original price. Such a win.
oh I adore this skirt!
Thanks Kelley!
girl, I went STRAIGHT to the website in the hopes I could get one! I really really love it, devastated that it wasn’t available.
Yeah, I picked it up from the outlet store. I think it’s on clear out. Maybe try the customer service number, they may be able to track one down…
You and Jo will have to go out together somewhere fabulous and dazzle everyone together!
I know, right!? Take our sequins out on the TOWN. š
I LOVE! You could totally throw on some flats with that outfit and wear it everywhere. I probably would š
Haha. Throw on flats, I snorted at that. Love it.
Love the way your rocking that skirt Melissa, it’s Purrfect
Thanks Wendy! x
KICK. ASS. SKIRT. Shows off your hourglass figure perfectly! Phwoar!
Hourglass figure!? Never heard THAT before. Haha. Thanks lady. x
Look at that waist coming through! Better start getting used to hearing it š
HA. Rightio lady! Will do. š
Girly edge? Yes please. I can totally see myself in an alexified version of this — loose black tee, THAT skirt, those shoes and a long pendant.
For sure. That’s what this outfit started out as. Haha. But then I knotted the tank and swapped the necklace. Great minds dude!
Bam! You know I love me some sequins. I kinda want to see the skirt with those pink pump too.
For sure! Pink and then the orange. Lots of options.
Wow. I am pretty anti sequins & anti colour but even I feel like I NEED that skirt!
