Sequins Queen

I. Love. Sequins. I will never pass up the chance to feel like a shimmery human disco ball. Shop selectively for sequined pieces; they can be unevenly cut and drag sometimes if they’re weighed down. I have this pantsuit in head to toe navy sequins as well, but I loved the two tone look to add extra flash to NYFW. Gold and navy are a beautiful combo. The shiny sequins used on a tailored silhouette spoke to my love of fitted flair with a chic, classic shape. True story; I frantically texted my dermatologist, begging to have her inject a zit (I’m 42!!!) with cortisone at 8:45 am before heading out to an early fashion show. I showed up to her office in this getup. The entire staff was like, “Ok, you must be just walking in from a fabulous all nighter since no one puts sequins on at 8 o’clock in the morning”.  Hey, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere!

Adding to the fun of this look was a bright orange clutch patterned with horses. A statement suit needs follow through by accessorizing with personality and sass. This is one of those looks where you gotta go big or go home.

I wore this outfit to the Tadashi show and Fashion Hong Kong. Tadashi featured rich textiles and metallic colors. I felt like I was dressed appropriately for the runway in my sequined look.

Fashion Hong Kong is a series of international promotions organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) to raise the global profile of Hong Kong fashion designers and brands. The designers were HARRISON WONG (Harrison Wong), HEAVEN PLEASE+ (Lary Cheung & Yi Chan) and SUN=SEN (Sun Lam). It was nothing short of brilliant and one of my favorites this season.
