Casual Daytime Sequins

I don’t think there is a person alive who loves glitter and sequins as much as I do.  I am lucky to live in London where Style-wise, pretty much anything goes, so I feel almost inconspicuous wearing sequins in the day time (you’ll see plenty on this blog, so keep a pair of sunglasses near your screen if you have sensitive eyes).  I bought this sweater a while ago, and I love the clash of bright and dull colours, and the mix of matte and shiny (shiny! whee!) sequins.  I like the relaxed, almost sweatshirty shape of it, so it can be worn in a very ‘je-ne-care-pas’ way.   I felt compelled to stand in front of the gorgeous Philip Treacy shop because it matched it so well!  I wanted to stand there all day and just revel in the shiny matchy Christmassy glitteriness of it all, but I can’t tell you how cold and windy it was (the same day as another post where I also look slightly miserable).  We just clicked a few photos, and then RAN back to my car to turn the heating on!  Anyway, here are some photos of my slouchy sequin sweater which I am super pleased with and wear so often my husband is sick of it.  What’s your view on daytime sequins for us over 40’s?
