The sequined shorts live! Today is the debut of these babies, and I have to admit while getting ready this afternoon I had my reservations. I even wavered into buyer’s remorse territory. *Shudder* I was with Kristy when I bought them, so I was worried her enthusiastic encouragement (“Those are so you!”), plus the fact that the shorts were half-price, had clouded my shopping vision. Nay! Now that I can see the shorts in action, after much closet-content deliberation, my love and faith in all things sequined is renewed. I know sequins aren’t for everyone, and in such quantities as this, can shock the eyes, as evidenced by these four reactions I had at work tonight, which I wrote down immediately afterward for blogging purposes:
“Tell those hot pants to cool it!”
“I need sunglasses to look at you.”
“Oooooooh! Sparkly!”
“Whoa!”
What’s your reaction? More “the horror!” than “me likey!”? Or the opposite? Go, sequins, go!

I like them! Which is why I encouraged you to buy them… LOL.
However, I think they are more for the bar then wearing to work! It’s hilarious that you wore them during the day!
They look really good on you though – and I like them paired with that tee

Okay, I sooooo wanted to see the shorts after I saw your post on Facebook…and I have to say, I’m COMPLETELY LOVING THEM!! You can pull off anything, but on you these things don’t even look that wild! They would work at any afternoon party, bbq, evening out, concert…you name it…though, like Kristy, I laughed when I heard you wore them to work.

Kristy and Rachel, I admit I had reservations about wearing them to work, but then thought, what the hell, I’m just going to do it! Haha!

I like them too! I can’t believe you wore them to work either… but they’d be so hot with just a white tank and high heels for a night out.

My new shorts seem sooo conservative now!

Ok, my reaction is “go, sequins, go!”. Are you wearing them to Eckville? If so, we definitely have to hit the Monkey Top Saloon in Bentley on the way back to Lacombe (it is a biker bar but they usually only show up on the weekends and they are gentlemen Harley riders nowadays).

Ummm… “me likey”, lol.
And let me guess, the person who said “Tell those hot pants to cool it”…… does his name start with a J and end with an M?
hehehe…. I can totally hear him saying that!
(They must miss you there…..)

Joanne, your guess about the hot pants comment is correct. Only one person could get away with that, and that’s him!
