Style Dilemma: Black Champagne

Sequins and Sparkle


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.

in unsung's space

According to her website, designer Monica Favela George, is an inspired woman and "A woman designing for women, Favela George takes the wearability factor seriously; her shoes feature extra padding in the ball of the foot and sexy yet manageable heel heights."

Sounds like just the thing to have solved my dilemma from yesterday...cushiony heels...

I'm completely in love with the Sonya Punkie in cerulian (pictured in the invite, see a bigger pic here) - how delightfully tongue-in-cheek (or at least to anyone who's seen Meryl wax poetic on Blue).

Now if I can just figure out if I'll be able to wear them when my center of gravity changes in a month or two.
