Not much to say about this that I didn't say in the construction post! So here are a slew of pictures of me wearing the top.

I discovered that those sequins in the hem really like to get hung up on my pants, so the thing pretty much never lays flat. For the first few pictures, I wore the top with the jeans and flats I had on, and I don't think it looks bad that way!
But here is how I wore it on NYE - with black wool ankle pants and gold heels.
Let's take a closer look at those shoes, shall we? Kirsty B, I'm sure you recognize these - I became completely obsessed with them after seeing them on you, and finally tracked them down at a great sale price!

And because I'm in a generous mood today, I leave you with this silly pose:
What a great NYE outfit. I didn't get a single photo of mine, but I'll be blogging about it in the future.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the shoes! I'm very sad that I just don't seem to be able to wear high heels any more, unless they are wedges.
Thanks, Sam! I'm out of practice with the heels too - I don't have much call for them these days! But I was able to manage being on my feet for about an hour before I had to sit, so for me that means these are pretty comfy as far as heels go.
DeleteGAH! Those shoes! AHH! So perfect! And I love the top-- you're killing it with these sequins!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Aren't they amazing? So glad I bought them!
DeleteIt looks good with jeans, but it really shines with the black pants! Such a great party outfit - you're put together but look so comfortable too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kelly! Don't let the stills deceive you though: I wasn't too comfy. The sequins scratched the insides of my arms. I don't know any way around that, as sequins typically have sharpish edges.
DeleteWhat a good outfit! I'm so inspired by your sequined sewing...
ReplyDeleteThank you! Oooh, are you going to make something with sequins? You would totally rock the look!
DeleteI hope you wear this outfit as often as possible in 2014 ~ it shouldn't be reserved only for NYE's. : )
ReplyDeleteWe'll see if anybody asks me out on a date! ;-)
DeleteVery festive! A perfect NYE outfit. And the shoes!!!! We may have had a small (slightly jealous) discussion of your fabulous shoe collection on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteUh oh! I think I have a 'reputation!' LOL!
DeleteI love it! This sequin fabric is amazing. And, I'm kind of jealous of those shoes :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie! I was channeling my inner Makizy this weekend - made that Burda top you've made (7866) and love it so much!
DeleteYou look very glam for NYE - I'm ashamed of myself that I didn't bother this year at all but instead was in bed by half 10...!
ReplyDeleteBelieve me, this is not a common occurrence! I'd generally prefer to be tucked up in bed too! But once I made the commitment, I had to have something great to wear!
DeleteLoving all your sequin tops! A girl's gotta have her bling, right? And of course, the shoes are to die for
ReplyDeleteHehehe - right! You'll be glad to know I kept the jewelry simple :-)
DeleteOh my goodness, the top and shoes are absolutely perfect.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rhonda!
DeleteAh I LOVE the outfit! The shoes are to die for!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Eleyna!
Deletelove the outfit, and what perfect shoes!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa! They are pretty perfect!
DeleteGreat outfit! Love the shoes - they'd kill me slowly, but it looks like they'd be worth it!
ReplyDeleteThank you! They did kill a little toward the end of the night, but at least my feet looked awesome!
DeleteGail your NYE outfit was glam all the way. You really nailed it, lady! You know I can't wear hills, nor gold, but now I have thoughts of silver flats dancing in my head. In connection with Sara's comment above, you're a celeb among the TO bloggers :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! That's so funny: I was on the lookout for silver flats too! I'll be sure to wear my best paparazzi-foiling disguise when I come visit ;-)
DeleteI'll say it (write it?) again - this top is so gorgeous!! I think it looks just as good with your jeans as it does all dressed up for NYE. The shoes are fabulous. When I'm reading yours and Kirsty's blogs I always make sure to check out your shoes! Love the last pose!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shar! I always scope out Kirsty's posts for the shoes too, LOL!
DeleteYou are so cute and chic!
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha ! Oh yes, they are great shoes aren't they and they are a perfect match for your stunning top. I love wearing these shoes.. they are just a little bit special (as is your top x)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kirsty! I was immediately smitten when I saw them on you :-) Still am!
DeleteFrom the top of your head to the tip of your toes, perfect. You're having so much fun with all the shiny bits. I might need a sequins something myself!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mela! You know what's not fun though? Picking up sequins from strange places in my house for weeks! I even found some that don't match any of my projects! Whaaaa?
DeleteThis is such a classic… I love it. I predict it will become a wardrobe staple. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Faye!
