what do you think of this top?

[theseventhdwarf]

here

it s for going out over christmas - I ve 3-4 parties coming up - will be different crowds at all of them.
Was thinking of this with black jeans and heels
what do you think? _ too much?
Parties are in a restaurant (christmas get together of friends we meet up with a few times a year, another of a similar gang and one is meeting up in pub )

I m fair haired and pale (will do tan probably )
do you think the sparkles are too much - though I want something that s dressy and looks well

Also it is too 'christmassy' - will i never wear it ever again and regret it in the morning??

I like it, the back of it makes it edgy. Make sure you wear a bra with a sexy back.

I like sequins - I think you should dress up at Christmas.

I bet it'd be OK in a pillow case in a gentle wash. I have a couple of sequinned tops and wash them that way. They both say dry clean I think.

I like it - different and edgy without being too over the top. I think the cut would be flattering after a few too many mince pies.

Nice top, not ott at all with jeans. Just wondering if bronze is the right colour for someone fair haired and pale - do you have definite experience (eg compliments) of looking good in it? Have a look at this to see what I mean.

It's nice, but maybe slightly verging on tacky?

I think you could get something much nicer for less money, tbh.

thanks for the opinions
'tacky' was exactly the word i was not looking for .. so might go back to the drawing board!
I ve never had my colours done.
But i have worn chestnut and bronze colours and gotten compliments.

My Mum and SIL have had their colours done and I ve not been convinced by their results. I know people on here have had great results.
[sigh..... back to the drawing board for the going out outfit option!]

I think it wouldn't be tacky if you are under 30. Sequins are perfectly normal evening fashion up to a certain age. If you are old enough to remember them being fashionable the last time round, then perhaps steer clear.

I reckon anyone can wear sequins < clings to the three sparkly tops in wardrobe >. If we all had to stop wearing the things we remembered first time around, there wouldn't be much left for some of us .

I wouldn't wear it because I don't suit edgy, but if you suit a dramatic look then go for it - but if you're more of a soft, pretty-looking English Rose, you won't feel right. In which case, find something lacy instead.

LOL yep TBH I'd wear it if it was another colour and I'm 35!

I'm 36 and I'd wear it, but would dress it down with quite worn-looking jeans and fairly plain shoes.

I think Christmas is exactly the time of year to do sequins! It's a muted shade (sequinned purple might have been a bit much) and an elegant shape. I say go for it!

i recently brought www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33053&storeId=12552&productId=4017577&langId=-1&categoryId=&searchTerm=sequin&pageSize=20this for christmas wear. It's similar but 1/3rd of the price. I plan on dressing it down with some killer heals, black skinny jeans and a blazer. I'm 30 if it makes a difference

I mean this

They also have it in a bronze colour

Sorry SilkStalkings that face was supposed to be a - much less aggressive!

Hmm I m 33 not v edgy but like to dress up given the chance - just with kids etc nowadays haven t as much time to think about it and not as sure what s in or not - lost a bit of fashion confidence

I liked the sparkle of it - but have also found a dress that I might try - cant link ATM as on phone.
I m not sure I could carry it off tbh - I wore a dress to black tie event last week tha I had worn before to similar events and whilst I got lots f
Compliments I felt so self conscious and so awkward and gauche ..... Maybe I should spend the money on a self help
Book instead!

I just got this, bit of sparkle, hopefully will look good with jeans, and my new black leather mini.

Oh, I didn't mean you had to be some kind of avant-garde/scary punk to wear it - just that the shape is quite dramatic, being a-symmetrical, which wouldn't suit me. Plus I need things more fitted around my bust and waist, or I look shapeless.

I'm sure it'll look lovely on you, and you won't be out of place - sequins are everywhere atm.

New Look have a minidress in the same dulled sequins. Could wear that over skinny jeans to 'ironize' (is there a verb to make something ironic?) any perceived tackiness and it would cost far less.

Actually it's one-shouldered - you'd need a strapless bra.

I want this but am too scared to buy it!

I like it, i'm 36 39 and i'd wear it with dark jeans.

It's a bit unflattering from the front Freakazoid, it looks like a sweatshirt. I know that's the current fashion and everything but I think it's really unsexy from the front, the back doesn't make up for it - afterall, who is going to be talking to your back?

I think that's why I like it

Fair enough. I just associate sweatshirts with men's prisons!
