A call to sequin arms... I'm on the hunt for a mini sequin skirt, fitted or a-line, silver or black. But can't seem to find one anywhere. Please oh stylish ones help me to track one down?

I'm a size ten, average height with decent legs. I thought a sequin skirt with a cami top would look good for a couple of Christmas niight s out. All help, suggestions or alternatives very welcome.

my Marks one from about 7 years ago ( and much mocked on here as was a bit way out at the time) has been the best. I think the quality really showed - there are sequins and.... sequins

I got a silver sequin skirt in m and s. It was really nice but didn't really suit me so I was on the look out for a black one. Thanks to this thread I've just ordered the asda skirt and the new look top linked above. Fingers crossed they do the job!

agree - and I think not too many textures with it.. Keep the top plain imo

I think a cami with short sequinned skirt may be a bit too much flesh on show (though I may just be an old gimmer). For a going out look I'd probably go for a pretty plain top and nice jewellery.

There are some nice ones in h and m but I also saw a black sequinned skirt in m and s the other day.

I'm going to dress mine down with a cosy jumper, black tights and slouchy ankle boots.

I'd wear with a soft cashmere round neck knit.. the skirt does all the talking so you need to tone down the rest..

Tuck in definitely Smile I have that new look cami and it looks lovely at the back. You need a strapless bra Grin

Would tucking the cami in look cool or a bit err try hard? (Can you tell I don't get out much of late).

Oh oh oh yes I have an old 70s faux fur ... it might honk a bit though as it has been in the wardrobe for years. A hat is a great idea. What do you think to a beret?

Have you got a faux fur coat? They are usually warm and look good.
Also a scarf and maybe a hat that you can whip off when you get to the next pub and stick in your pocket? or is that an old lady suggestion? Grin

Thank you Red - I am somewhat challenged on the top front as quite small in the book dept so that top may hang off me ifyswim Sad

Redlion that is a good point - likely to be moving from bar to bar. Hmm. Not sure what would work - have a leather jacket but worried it would look a bit dated. Would a jumper look weird?

There were loads about in the shops today burning.
When I went out last week there was a woman out who looked fantastic, she was wearing a short black sequin skirt, high shoe boots and a black top.
