Christmas meal out top - sparkly

75 replies

tinyme77 · 25/11/2024 22:25

Has anyone seen a top which has sequins or glitter over part of the top? There are lots that are completely sequins but it isn't that big a night out. I just want something sparkly but not disco ball! For a lady of a certain age (in this case I mean not too skimpy or skinny). Thank you.

Please no sequins or glitter if you are over 30

Oh, absolutely! The over-30s should only sparkle where their diamonds catch the light. Their clothes must be matte, modest and neutral so as not to draw attention to their offensively aged persons.

Late to the party (as ever) but I LOVE this top! Sadly now out of stock.

WHAT?

I thought about ignoring this, but it needs calling out.

Fuck off.

Agreed @Bugbabe1970 do fuck off with your outdated views.

Nah it’s tacky as hell - although sequins are tacky at any age to be fair

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/12/2024 20:57

Don’t be ridiculous. I wear a sequin mini skirt with DMs and it looks bloody great. So there.

And I’m over 50. Who cares?

Stop with the judginess. Jaeger has a beautiful sequined dress and top in current stock, and most under 30s wouldn’t be seen dead wearing Jaeger. Not their target market. Why shouldn’t women over 30 wear what they like? My wardrobe contains a lot of sequins and a lot of sparkle for this time of year, and I’m twice 30 years old! You must lead a very joyless life.

No I don’t - I just don’t like sequins!

But your post suggested you only disliked them on people over 30.

So no one else over 30 can wear sequin because you don’t like sequin.

Maybe let Trinny know, I’m sure she’d be delighted to hear from you.

Next do a skinny sparkly scarf in both black and silver. I'm chucking them on with everything, very pleased.

Which is fine- but that doesn’t justify ageism.

I wear sequins a fair bit especially this time of year and I’ve never been told by anyone it’s tacky as hell.

Caffeineismydrug35 · 09/12/2024 16:30

I ordered a sparkly top and skirt from Roman this weekend, they have some lovely bits.
Oh and I’m over FORTY and couldn’t care less if someone thinks it’s tacky.

So don’t post then!

I don’t think the OP is looking for the views of a random internet stranger, she wanted some suggestions for sparkly stuff. If you don’t have anything helpful to add, there’s no need to post.
