The Holidays are here and its time to bring out the shimmer, sequin and shine! A lot of our Indian outfits usually tend to have a fair amount of zari, sequin, beading etc. to satisfy our need to glitter on occasions during the year. The holidays ( Christmas and New Years), though are that time of the year when wearing sequin is almost like a tradition here in the US of A.
However much I love the glitz one has to learn to tame it (glitz-tame...sounds like an oxymoron :)). Its easy to get carried away but knowing where to draw the line is what distinguishes a fab glam from a drag queen.
Check out a sequin outfit I put together for a party I attended recently. I went easy on the accessories (with a pair of dangling diamond-pearl earrings) and wore a set of cobalt blue suede shoes to add a pop of color. The rest of the outfit stays neutral with safe shades of dark gray and black.
The silvery-white pouch was to dump my cellphone, hair brush, chapstick and the works, else if I had my way I would totally skip a purse. I tried to avoid a clutch because its such a pain dancing with it so atleast with this one I was semi hands-free.
I am still working on getting better pictures but I hope you can see the little bit of what is visible of the earrings.
