night to day: the sequin mini skirt

Ahhh, the sequin skirt. Usually relegated to night time outfits (and associated with cheap clubs and grubby dive bars, especially), I think its powers as a daytime option has been severely underestimated. I'm always game for finding new ways to wear dubious pieces, so I embraced the challenge of finding a socially acceptable way to wear a garment sought by attention seeking women and drag queens. (I could easily fit into either of these categories, by the way, on a good night.)

  1. Is this the black one and did you see the navy, is it nice? It's been in my cart and I've been debating it for 2 weeks.

  2. The one I have isn't offered on the F21 website anymore, but this one seems to be the most similar to what I have. It actually seems a bit better because it looks like it doesn't do as much scrunching up as the one I have does.

  4. I believe you can rock any club/scandalous garment with those Balenciaga boots. It just balances everything out right.
