Sequins in the Rough
Vintage Blazer, Alexander Wang Top, Gap Jeans, F21 Ring, Steve Madden Booties
I’ve been looking for a sequined blazer for longer than I’d like to admit and this weekend I found the perfect one (for $30, I might add), buried under a heap of clothes, at the flea market. While that may not sound terribly appealing to most, I think vintage pieces have far more personality than new ones (especially when it requires a bit of scavenging). I admired Tibi’s version here just a week ago and I love how mine has a slightly lived-in feel with its structural shoulders and relaxed fit. I threw it on to go out to dinner and refused to take it off long after I got home while I consumed what was left of my Halloween candy.

Can’t believe that is vintage when the exact same style is in all the stores at the moment! Good find. I’m never sure about sequins on me, but I do really like how you’ve styled this, it’s probably how I would wear it too.

I’m obsessed with sequins right now; they’re so fun. I just spotted Dakota Fanning wearing an amazing sequin top yesterday (featured on my site). The sequin jacket looks great on you - great find. =)
Love it!
Wow, it’s gorgeous!! It looks like it’s in great shape for being a vintage piece, you lucky lady.
i’m head over heels in love with this look. i don’t know if i could pull it off like you though! xo
This is my favorite outfit post of yours thus far (and I’ve looked at all of them because I’m a little obsessed with your blog! ha!) I’m also a huge fan of sequins. Love love love.
I am new to your blog, love your style and that gorgeous outfit!

Killer look, Miss Emily! Sequins have definitely made their come-back this season, and you really embrassed that with this blazer, while remaining chic and elegant. You’ve got me wishing I had a flea market full of fabulous finds like this!

That jacket is awesome! What a great find.
I love sequins..love the jacket!! i do agree with you vintage clothes has more appeal to it!! i have a sequin skirt that hopefully ill wear this year!! and the black nailpolish has always been my favorite since high school!! god am old!! xoxo
Great outfit - I especially love the rolled up jeans, seems to pull the outfit together. Those Steve Madden booties are killer!

Love this look! I’m aaaall about the sequins lately but I just don’t possess that enviable gift for the thrift that you do!
http://idlefascination.blogspot.com/
Love this whole look! What a find!
What a fantabulous find! And you’re right - that slightly slouchy fit is unbearably chic.
Digging to find the perfect treasure makes it that much more exciting. Love the jacket!
I’ve always wondered how you (and Rumi) get photos with the darkened edges. Seems to make having to use a flash bearable! You look awesome, btw! -Carey
I always thought a sequin blazer would be a “bit” much, but you made it look perfect with your boyfriend jeans. Great look!
I’m in love with that blazer … fabulous! The outfit is perfect, thanks for the inspiration!
ohh, that whole outfit looks really slick.
great outfit emily! love the sequin.. and those boots!
Fun shoes
it is such a relaxed look with some pizzaz! i love it! love the boots!
I’ve been wanting a sequined blazer…so jealous of your fab find!
Your boots are perfect! Do you mind sharing who they are?
Scratch my last post–I need to read up on the details apparently!! Love your blog!
I wish we could go flea market shopping together. You have such a good eye, and normally I am not patient enough to score anything fantastic. At least not in the clothing section. I’ve gotten some cool jewelry and vases over the years, but I need to be better at scouring the clothing racks. A sequined blazer like this would make it totally worthwhile!
You scored a vintage one too!!! Brilliant!!
I agree. So much more interesting (and MUCH cheaper) to get it vintage.
Actually you just reminded me to get mine tailored a bit.

what an awesome find. i’m jealous!
i LOVE this outfit. it’s fantastic for a night out. well done!
Obsessed with the booties….are they suede? I guess I’ll go find out : )

There is no better complement to seductive sequins than a pair of boyfriend jeans. Loving this look, Emily; you look gorgeous!

Any tips on where to score vintage pieces like these in NY?
Much Love,

I love the sequins!! I also have been looking for a perfect vintage sequined blazer.. but haven’t had much luck yet… What may not be appealing to most, is addicting to others… the “thrill of the hunt” is what keeps me looking for & loving quality vintage pieces! And you booties rock, by the way!!

I love, love, love the blazer. And what is the fit on those gap jeans? Are they the boyfriend fit? Super cute look overall.
Fun! And you are less likely to get hit by cars when you go walking at night, so it really serves a double purpose.
Great use of sequins. I know exactely what your are talking about, love finding the perfect vintage pieces. They really are unique!
I completely agree with your view of vintage clothing. Plus, it’s so much more rewarding to find something amazing when you have to dig for it. The blazer is lovely on you.
Gorgeous! Vintage finds are the best! XOXO
I agree–vintage is so far more fun (usually)! Very pretty. xo.
Perfect look.
You make me want to head to my nearest thrift shop. Pronto. And I am not a thrift shop person. I also love that you’re wearing the “Scripps uniform.” Black top and jeans. Fabulous!
jealous! i’ve been looking for one for ages as well! you look smashing in it [=
love the combo of the rolled jeans and sequin blazer. the juxtaposition of textures work really well together

Love the blazer! I’m doing some vintage shopping this weekend, so this gives me hope I’ll find some great pieces too =)

I almost mistook you for Nicole Richie! Love the jacket and the booties
i freaking love it!!! such a good find! i’m searching for some sequin leggings.
I have a similar vintage sequined jacket, and nearly everyone groans when I wear it, and tells me I look like a sparkly old lady. I tell them they just don’t know STYLE, and now here’s my proof!

Gorgeous booties!!
Love the outfit!! and LOVE the blazer - I am also on the hunt for a perfect sequin blazer! I’m thinking this would be cute too…this top http://www.freepeople.com/index.cfm/fuseAction/products.detail/_/Sequined-Mesh-Slip/productID/c3316a79-a501-43f0-83e7-a90bf0d61670/categoryID/8f221e33-67cd-4153-86ea-247904829499/) , paired with a grey/black fitted blazer and leggings. What do you think?
simply gorgeous…
This is absolutely gorgeous. That blazer fits you to a tee–and it’s vintage! What an amazing find. I love how you’re wear a bigger blazer with boyfriend jeans, I would’ve never dared to do that but it works so well!
the blazer is amazing and it fits you perfectly. I love it. what an incredible find! I totally agree about vintage.
I live in LA too, and am looking for vintage that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg…what flea markets to you frequent? I LOVE that jacket and have been on the hunt for one of my own for months!
I’ve got a sequin jacket just like that! I wear it during nights out all the time :] love it
how awesome to find a vintage sequined blazer that fits you perfectly!
Wooooooow,so stunning!!!!!
The perfect combination.. Glam sequins paired with boyfriend jeans is so laidback and chic!
love the jacket!
Wow, you always have the best flea market finds!! I have been on the hunt for one too, but haven’t found the perfect fit yet.
I love it! you look even more gorgeous
Vintage are great! Been looking for a sequined blazer, too, but the ones I find are slightly damaged.

Amazing outfit !!!!!
While I live solidly in mom-land, I am delightedly inspired by your site. Great, practical fashion tips … that even moms can use! Well done.
Gorgeous sequined jacket!
Great outfit. I’ve always thought that sparkly sequinned cardigans and blazers look best w/ denim jeans and shoes.
