Aussie Curves - Sequins

This week is sequin week. A week I know most of us have been waiting for, a chance to get our sparkly, sequinned outfits out of the wardrobe and shine.

I've been checking out everyone's posts, watching people feature items that I want or items that I have, making my decision on what to wear a difficult one. Do I wear something that someone else has shown, or look further into my sequin collection for something different? 

Sequin collection I hear you say..................yes sequin collection. 

I generally try and wear my outfits out - make the challenge work for an upcoming occasion or for everyday; but I had nothing coming up that shouted "sequins" to me. And I didn't really want to wear sequins to work.
So, I dressed up, just for the pics, whilst I was waiting for some sour cream pastry to cool down in the fridge before heading off to a friends house.

I bought a Damn You Alexis sequin dress last year some time but have never worn it out as it is too short for me. Way too short. But it is an amazing fit and has long sleeves and a lovely neckline (back and front) so I figured it would make an awesome top under a skirt.
This maxi skirt is also an old one, from ASOS curve. It is sheer (but lined), and cascading pleats that remain wash, after wash.
I teamed the top and skirt with an old pair of black sparkle heels from Sandler at DFO and vintage style earrings from Hollywood Style. I vamped the cat eye makeup and added some Lush Emotional Brilliance lip stain in Power.

 

See how the other ladies shined in their sequins....
