Ladies: where would you wear a top covered with sequins, bling?

Asked by Aster (20028points) October 7th, 2013

I could only think of parties with superstars, fancy Christmas parties or evenings in Hawaii with cocktails and lobster. Since none of these are in my future where can I wear a super bling top?

You can wear a super bling top grocery shopping! Really, though, any kind of fund-raiser or cocktail party is a good place. I love a nice super bling top and have several that I wear frequently.

You wear them frequently to grocery shop? Really? This is not a tiny , sleeveless one you can pop a blazer over. It is a long sleeved super blinder.

Do you go clubbing?

I don’t do sequins…

I wouldn’t. Unless it were an ugly sweater party.

A little glimmer is ok, being a disco ball is not.

@livelaughlove21 and @Seek_Kolinahr I made a mistake . I got it on Ebay and I didn’t know, for some reason, that it would be such a blinding spectacle.

I would have to see the top. I usually don’t like sequins tops, except for a long sleeve T I have that has ELVIS written out in sequins. LOL. Dead serious, I love that shirt.

You can wear it to the theatre I would think: a musical or ballet. Possibly to a dinner out at a fancy schmancy restaurant.

Hell, some of the ridiculous women where I live wear stuff like that to the grocery store, football games, church, kids’ birthday parties, school volunteer days, etc…

I guess it depends on where you’d feel comfortable wearing it.

Nowhere.

Aster's avatar

I think I“ll have to relist it on Ebay. lol It is way too much of an attention grabber.

If you’ve got the nerve, everywhere.

I have a closet full of 80’s fashon that I am keeping for my granddaughters to play with. Maybe try vintage stores?

Katniss's avatar

@Judi Nice!! There is no better fashion than 80’s fashion!

I don’t dress like that but you could wear it shopping with a jacket over it. Even a hoodie.

If I wore something like that, it would only be to a holiday party or something. It depends on how shiny it is. Sequins I don’t wear, unless just a few, scattered (again, and only to a holiday party). Sparkles, I would wear, to a holiday party. My job has a really fancy holiday party where people get all decked out, so I do not look inappropriate.

In some parts of the country, I imagine very casual dress is appropriate for holiday parties.

On the top half of my body.

@jca it’s as sparkly as you can get and it’s copper with black lining. Under a hoodie sounds sort of cool, actually . I don’t own a hoodie but I could buy a black one!

Headhurts's avatar

Sequins look nice on others, but not on me.

jca's avatar

@Aster: or, if you wanted to dress it down, you could wear it under a black velour blazer.

@Judi You are one cool grandmother.

Halloween is coming up. And Christmas.
Seriously, wear it for casual parties with your friends. You can all enjoy it together

I love sequins. I wear mine to family gatherings and dinner parties. I won tickets to a Josh Groban concert, and I wore my crystal decorated shirt with a silky bandana pullover.

I have a gold sequin and a black sequin jacket, and a silver sequin tube top. I love shiny things.

Sequins and rhinestones and shiny things are on t-shirts and jeans nowadays. I don’t like it, but it’s tough finding clothes without it, so I wear the items with sparkly accents anywhere. I have a couple tops that have all-over shiny sparklies that I reserve for fancy dinners out and such.
