DIY sequin top-Yay or Nay?

Whilst walking to work today, in my local charity shop there was a gold sequin boob tube for about £3. I did like it, but wasn't sure how I would wear it, as I don't go out socially very much (how sad, haha!!)
Anyhow, whilst surfing the 'net, I saw this lovely dress from Antik Batik for £369 and it got me to thinking whether I could wear the boob tube over a t-shirt like the look of this dress?

What do you think-a yay or nay? I suppose it would be a glammy top for Christmas day, but I want some opinions first!!

How long is the boob tube? If it's just a strap across the chest I wouldn't do it. But if it's longer, like in the photo, I would. Only difficult thing is which colour t-shirt to combine with GOLD.
I have a sequinned jacket too, and I never know how to wear it because I don't go out very much either ^^ But Christmas day is a wonderful occasion!

Skye said...

Give it a go - the top of the boob tube might kind of squish into the t-shirt in an unflattering way though, and the t-shirt might lump up under the boob tube too. Definitely worth a try though!

Jules said...

I love the look - a definate yay

Fashion_Loving_Stylist said...

Of course Yay! You can pull off anything.

WendyB said...

Sounds worth a try to me.

Fashion_Girl22 said...

I say YAY!
DIY sequins sound pretty risky, though. Hopefully they don't fall off. <3

Sharon S said...

Hi cate-its boob to waist length I think. Maybe I'll give it a go!

Hi Skye-yes, I was thinking the same about the top underneath, not sure what to do now!

Hi Jules-thanks so much for stopping by!!

Hi lenya-so lovely of you, thanks!!

Hi wendy-thanks a lot my dear!

Hi fashion girl22-thanks for your comment my dear!

Cal said...

i vote yes! you can always pair it down even further by throwing a cardi over the top (kind of like Sal did recently in a post about her new sequined top) or by adding a big thick scarf. fun fun!
