Funny things happen on Twitter. You share things and thoughts you wouldn't tell close friends. You "meet" people. You learn about celebrity deaths before anyone else. You put a number sign before a string of words that would normally be a sentence and confuse the heck out of non-Twitter-users but makes you LOL.
You plan fake funerals with vats and vats of champagne and black sequined dresses.
True story.
So a few of us are going to have a Black Champagne party. We'll drink bubbly, eat salty, and probably talk salty, too (a few of us have been known to make a sailor blush once in a while). And we'll wear sequins. Because we can.
It's supposed to be black sequins, but when I went looking, the sequin selector on the Nordstrom site (seriously, they have "sequins" as a filter option on dresses, which. just. rocks) pulled up a few other colors, like gold and silver. So I included them. Then there's the deep blue "cold shoulder" mini I obsessed over last Friday (the charcoal/black version is the first one in the second row), but refused to try on because I was on a Bra Mission.
The silouhettes range from fitted to forgiving, with room for only bubbly or room for a whole tin of gift popcorn. Since I've only met literally one of the 7-8 women who will be at our Black Champagne party, I have no idea what might suit them.
But it's sequins. So a girl just can't go wrong.
If you want to find out more about the Ladies of the Sequins (because we're a fascinating bunch), watch for the #BlackChampagne hashtag on Twitter.

I desperately want a reason for a sequined dress and have often placed one in my shopping cart... and then have saved it for later or deleted. I own a black sequined mini that has yet to see the light of day, but feel that if I have a full-on sequined dress I would find a place to rock it.
I love the long-sleeved simple styles of sequined dresses so the sparkle can steal the show. The gray one (top row center) is something I would buy in a heartbeat, pair with a super dramatic smoky eye and perfectly tousled hair.
How have *you* not found a place to wear a sequined mini? Hel-LO CapFABB meet-up? At a minimum?

I think this is the new Reason for Living = find a place for a sequined dress.
And yes, the grey one is just simplistically stunning
