I Feel Like A Girl of 16 Again, Part One


Remember when you were a small child and wearing sequins was the only thing you needed in life to make you feel great? Well, we kinda feel like nothing should have changed over the past 10, 20, 30, heck, even 40 years. 


Hence, we are bringing you not one- but two!- installments of sexy sequin pieces that are sure to make you feel like a girl of 16 again... Please note, these gams are not guaranteed to make you look 16 again. But we wouldn't want that anyway. We love you just the way you are. 


Look Numero Uno: This little Yoanna Baraschi number has that perfect mix of leaving winter behind and welcoming in the warmer weather thanks to the perfect color palette. The deep blue makes the dress February-appropriate while the pink, orange, and every other color of the rainbow sequins shimmy in the coming-season.

For those who dream of genie a little less flamboyantly, we have...


Look Numero Dos: Fumblin' Foe does it again with this silver, square-shaped sequin top. One of Hemline's favorite brands, Fumblin' Foe has mastered the balance between classic and cutting edge. This time, they've paired a simple enough white blouse with the shiny sequins to create a top that looks just as good tucked into a high-waisted black skirt as it does with a pair of jeans. 


In this case, we've paired the super-shiny shirt with a pair of skinny-leg James Jeans in an all-American wash. The slight distresses in the jeans offset the fanciful nature of the shirt creating an all-around sophisticated yet youthful look.

And finally, for a look that is begging for the dog days of summer, we present...


Look Numero Tres: Free People is the master of hippie chic, and this outfit will have you singing along to The Beatles as you lunch with your ladies. The playful pink and sequins on the bottom half of the dress are calmed by the neutral tones found in the upper half as well as the Karlie cardigan placed over. 


The Karlie cardigan allows you to slip this dress into your wardrobe a few months before its time while the draping contributes to the ultra-luxe vibe of the ensemble. 


But wait! You didn't think we would leave you with only 3 looks did you?! Just wait a few more days and we'll be back with 3 more sexy sequin looks for your viewing (and buying) pleasure.

  1. This post and first skirt-thing remind me of M83 for some reason. And Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl by some band...can't remember the name...
