Before you get on your high horse about bare legs now, I had a ride right after taking these pics so I chanced it.  Not happening now of course.  It’s all jeans, drop crotch pants or tights.
I miss wearing a good vintage sequin dress. LOVED the pink of this one with a men’s grey tweed coat on top (seen before in this post with creepers) and the Bal boots.  If you follow my Instagram and twitter you’ll know I sold the older ones with silver hardware.  I have a pet peeve re. hardware and would’ve given my left kidney to get the gold ones.  Had I not had them at all I’d have got these Jeffrey Campbells which look great on anyone I’ve spotted wearing them around New York.

I keep reading mags waffle on about its ‘acceptable’ to now wear sequins during the day but I don’t see many doing it on the streets. Fling a knit under it, tights and thermals and you are done – especially if the piece (like this dress) is baggy enough.  Use a thin belt for shape (optional of course).
