How bout GOLD OMBRE SEQUINS?
Too much??
Shop Topshop
Sequin-on-sequin? Uh.
ReplyDeletemy thoughts exactly. that jacket is cool though -- especially for the holidaze.
DeleteYeah, it'd look good with a long loose black tee and skinny pants.
DeleteI would not wear a sequined cardigan with that dress. You'll look like an ice dancer. Actually, I'd look for a jacket before a cardigan, which I think will look too sweet/little girl-ish with a cardigan.
Yes to jacket rather than cardigan - less twee
DeleteYES to that jacket (and only £58? I really might buy it myself)
But unsure unsure about sequin on sequin...
How about soft, drapey leather?
ReplyDeletethis is super cool
DeleteGood call. Love it.
Deleteon the most recent Gossip Girl, Ivy wore a very similar jacket.
DeleteI know we eschew ModCloth but this guy's what you need.
ReplyDeletewhat time is it? o it's ladytux time.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Although maybe there's a good version out there for less $$$. Not that I have any clue how much this gal is willing to spend.
DeleteI'd spend maybe up to $200 for the right thing, especially if can be worn again. Thanks for all the suggestions!
DeleteI would just do a cashmere or mohair cardigan... Something soft would set off the sequins nicely I think, but I wouldn't do sequins on sequins - and I definitely wouldn't combine it with the gold ombre.
ReplyDeleteI would go with a jacket rather than cardigan and possibly something with a masculine tailoring influence to take it away from twee/girly and give it some contrast. Love the rag and bone lady tux suggestion above, but personally I think black (i know I know it's for a bride shouldn't be black whatever) tux jacket slightly looser cut than the gold rag and bone - All Saints have one called Kovach at the mo, but my iPad won't let me cut and paste today, so no link.
ReplyDeleteBut I guess it depends in the general vibe of you / the day.
Because when else are you going to buy something this great, I would go with this Helmut Lang Wool Coat!
ReplyDeleteballs. now i want that coat.
DeleteMEEEEEE TOOOOOO!!!!!
DeleteI like this coat.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
DeleteWhat do you guys think of an easy soft cardigan?
Ok, who wants to start a line of warm wedding dresses?
ReplyDeleteI wore my fringed leather biker over my cream vintage dress, it looked awesome (if I do say so myself)
