Many of you style-conscious variety, follow the musings of @DKNY PR Girl via her twitter and she has since launched a blog for when "140 characters just aren't enough!" One of my favourite editions is her to do list and in at number 4 is....
"Buy oversized sequin mini skirt for holiday soiree perfection!"
The link takes you to this beauty...
Available from DKNY, of course, it's retailing at around $275/£235, it's almost quite reasonable *Louisa shields herself from credit busting divas around the World*
I was elated to see, however, when flipping through the December issue of Elle last week, this clone by Marks and Spencer's Limited Collection for just £55.
I'm a huge sequin fan and consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur. Yes there is such a thing as sequin snobbery and I have defined the rules. I may even do a "good sequin v bad sequin" post someday.
These just aren't any sequins though, they are the new trend of sequins, known to those that are fashionably well versed as "paillettes." Elle described them best, I think, as "sequins on speed."
Teamed with a traditionally festive colour both of these numbers will be perfect for over the, dare I say it, fast approaching party season.
*Gasp* Can't find the Marks and Spencer's version online, hopefully it's not too late for us all! *Grabs coat, heads to Oxford Street*
