Fall/Winter 2009 Fashion Trend: Sequins

On dresses, skirts, blouses, or accessories, as an embellishment or all over, sequins are a must for fall! And sequins are not just meant for evening wear. Many designers included sequins in their daytime ensembles. Above: 3.1 Phillip Lim, Balmain, Matthew Williamson, Michael Kors. Many designers also combined certain of the fall trends I've previewed previously, combining sequins and strong shoulders on the Balmain dress above and by pairing the sequined Michael Kors skirt above with a one-shouldered top. I am a huge fan of sequins myself and have already acquired a pair of sequined pumps, a sequined mini skirt, and a sequined off the shoulder blouse for the fall. Should you wish to try out this trend, below are some options for you to choose from: "Back in Brooklyn" top for $38 available on www.lulus.com; Boutique 9 sequin pumps on sale for $93.01 down from $134 on www.zappos.com; "Cameo appearance" sequin top in grey or black for $48 available at Nordstrom; Bebe cross back sequin dress for $119; Bebe drip sequin tank in deep purple, black, pearl, or hot pink for $59; Christin Michael "Lauren" sequin pumps on sale for $113 down from $199 on www.zappos.com; Free People sequin slip tank for $68 available at Nordstrom; "Sequin Affair" crop jacket for $70 available at www.lulus.com; Free People sequin mesh slip dress for $68 available at Macy's; Felix Ray sequined clutch on sale for $45 down from $63 on www.revolveclothing.com; Gibson sequined shoulder top in grey or deep cranberry for $58 available at Nordstrom; Arden B ombre print sequin tank for $28; Free People sequined mini skirt for $98 available at Nordstrom; Forever 21 "Modelliste" sequined tee for $19.80; Re Collection sequined top for $125 available on www.revolveclothing.com; DV by Dolce Vita "Fire" pump for $89.95 available at Nordstrom; sequin cowlneck top in black or lilac for $68.50 available on www.victoriassecret.com; Vince sequined mini dress for $225 available at Nordstrom; Bebe sequined blazer for $159.
