So for new years I wanted to use the one yearly excuse to wear sequins in a socially acceptable manner. I got a Free People sequin tank at the Off 5th Outlet on sale for $30. I am of the belief that this shirt was probably supposed to be a dress on most girls but this would have been quite a silly choice for me. I found them at all kinds of department stores in multiple different colors but the only place they were on sale was at Off 5th which was awesome.
I paired the shirt with a black tank underneath (it was very much see thru), a black pencil skirt (wore high-waisted style to make it more of a mini-skirt), and opaque black tights. Though I was slightly concerned about the possibility of too much sequins, I wore my black sequined flats.
It should be noted for a moment here the extreme necessity of the perfect pair of black opaque tights. I have tried many brands and styles but my legs are far too long for many of the usual types. I found the most amazing pair at Target. They are their "premium" tights and at about $13 a pair that's pretty fucking premium for Target. They are, however, perfectly opaque and awesome. They also have survived multiple wearings with not a ONE tear. Totally worth $13.
The night was quite a success and I got a few compliments on my outfit. One was from a girl wearing the same sequin top as a dress. Hers was another one of the patterns from Off 5th. Gotta love it.
