Why Sequins Work

Remember those movies you see with your mom with the big 80’s hair and whatnot? You thought “GEES, dude - what were they thinking?”

Well, it seem like fashion is such a large circle afterall. We went from disco floor glamor to classy black and now we’re back with the colors!

We may no longer have those disco lights (replaced by laser-like beams) but we do have sequins which is very 80’s - and it looks like they’re back with a bang!

Why is it that they work? They combine fashion’s recent favorite - badass rock chick - and old school glamor, hippy sequin.

But do we very careful - as with most things, you should combine and contrast - in other words, do not walk down the street disguised as a Christmas tree! Because they are fairly drastic items, they should be teamed with some plain Jane’s. A shiny singlet with plain or soft colored jeans.

Or maybe add a touch of bling to an accessory. A cute little clutch or sequin shoes. What about those sequin earrings?

Isn’t this just totally cute?

Color Your Legs Hot

Okay, my apologies for slacking off - not updating this blog since forever, when I told myself I must; yes, yes, “I’ve been busy” is hardly a plausible excuse, it’s kinda like saying “Traffic”. Well, cutting something very short; I’ve been caught up in this huge ass assignment that’s a huge deal so there you go :D

So back to fashion (coz that’s the most important thing, right? :D:D) - I believe I’m high at the moment with colors. It’s like I’ve seen and been in every bit of that fricken rainbow, and got it in my entirety, soaking my brain with no other ideas that doesn’t involve colors. Seriously!

So you’ve seen my rant of colored skinnies - now I’m onto it again! Slightly inspired from Jordon from Australia’s Next Top Model (saw this a year ago) - she was wearing these purple stockings. I can’t find a picture of her wearing them, though :(

Purple Stockings

Why and how this benefits me (and possibly you!): I inherit many physical traits from my father; the package includes my huge ass legs. They are toned, granted, but not very lean as one would wish. This makes me conscious; and over the years, I’ve learnt to, instead of hiding my legs, flaunt them. This surprises you, doesn’t it? You ask why the hell would I want to flaunt my worst feature to the world. Well, legs are sexy, and the majority of clothing that are hot involves leg baring (reasonable amount, that is) and it really sucks that I am restrained from these styles coz I’m trying (in vain) to hide my legs. Therefore, I employ evil tactics to mislead men and women alike to thinking I have these wonderfully lean legs.

One way is I wear skinny jeans, my legs aren’t huge — just too manly, therefore skinny tubes squeeze my muscles into the right proportion - then it emphasise my toned buttocks, and bam! Lean legs, nice ass — can he just stop staring?! Gees!

Another way of giving this effect, when it’s hot and I’m not wearing jeans — I wear stockings with short skirts or shorts. They pull the eye away from my legs (well, not really, but still) and onto the top and mid-section as well i.e. the entire picture. Another good thing about this is that I can get away with wearing those skimpy short shorts or short minis without looking like a complete whore. Double trouble :D

Colors that I dig –

I would say to stay away from anything but colors, as color stockings aren’t the most conventional things in the world; and lets try keeping it simple, shall we? Two fashion outrage in one outfit: T-O-O M-U-C-H.

Besides, dont they really look like they belong on the legs of those women who tends to wear the entire vintage store on their body?

Want the edge, the real danger? How about knee or thigh high, if you dare!
