Mother's vintage sequin jacket, Zara dress, Cathy Jean heals
They say, "like mother, like daughter". I put this to the test by borrowing my mother's glamorous sequin jacket. This thing is probably from the early 90's and has been collecting dust in her closet for years. I remember she would wear it to her fancy New Year's Eve parties and look like a pretty ball of light. When I was younger I was not a fan of the loud sequins and bold shoulders, but since this style is mega popular right now I had to ask her if I could try her version. I felt bold and confident wearing this. This jacket is not for the timid; it calls for attention. I have to admit that I kind of liked it. However, I don't think I will be taking it from her.
Is there a blast from the past that you are itching to try?

These photos are so pretty! Ohhh the sequins are gorgeous.
Definitely calls for attention, and definitely glamorous. What a great post...I wish my grandmothers kept more of their clothes from the 20's 30's & 40's. That would be fun to look through! :)
OMG! I love your sequin jacket!

Such an intense little jacket! It's pretty cute!
I wish I had the legs for super short mod mini skirts!
You look great in the sparkly jacket! I was never really into sequins as well but I just bought a white sequin dress today, how unlike me!!
Oopsie ! So sorry for being behind on posts here:) Ahhhhh adding you to my blogroll right now.

You should definatly keep it. Isn't it amusing when mom has treasures in her closet awaiting for you to take?
I love the dresses from the 1930s and 40s, but I don't feel like I can pull them off. Too costumey for me.
I love this. How lucky you are that your mom had this in her closet!
Aw, your mom must love seeing you in her jacket! It's nice that flash is big right now. It's a bold look but so fun.
I would love one day to try a birdcage veil. It's very costumey but very 1930s which is one of my most favourite decades for style!
(your goodies are finally on their way!) ♥
Cute outfit!! I love the sequin jacket.
Don't let Rachel Zoe see that thing - she'll steal it! Vintage AND sequined? OMG. As she likes to say: "I love me some sequin..."
It looks fantastic!
Ooh, ooh, ooh...new layout that I love and vintage jacket that I adore!
My mother has all sorts of sequin pieces from the eighties - she pulled some of them out of the closet the other day and I was shocked - they're stunning! At the same time, I too refused them when she offered them to me - they just don't seem from this...generation. Still lovely though! :)
That jacket is amazing! I love it.
absolutely love your style.
Ahh... this jacket is truly splendid on you... bold and you wear it effortlessly.
I feel like everyday there is a "blast from the past" moment with fashion choices and what my eye is drawn too. Been in an "Annie Hall" moment recently... trousers and bowler hats... sequins too... 70's always.
Thanks for checking out our blog lovely... yours is gorgeous... Going to link you so we can visit often.
Stop by soon.
love from San Francisco. xx amy and alex

xo.

Like mother, like daughter: in this case, what a compliment! My mother kept nothing from those decadent decades! Le sigh!
The gilded jacket looks supremely fabulous on you.
Cheers.
it's great to have a stylish mom :))
have a lovely day, xoxo
i love that jacket!!!
Oh, I love your hair back like that! Very pretty.
adding beautiful bling to basic black. fab!
Another wonderful outfit, my dear!

i think it's official - you cannot go wrong with a sequinned blazer!
as for blast from the past - I wish polka dot leggings and bum bags were cool again. no, really.!!

Tay, you absolutely must take it from her! It is phenomenal on so many levels! xoxox
Your sequin jacket is just amazing!
Kisses :*
Love it. Just the right touch of Dynasty and even better with a story.
I've actually been itching to wear a sort of bat-sleeve sequin top or a sequined cardigan like the one you're wearing! But not in gold, of course. Maybe black/silver sequins with some color. I think it's a great look. But I don't have the guts to wear one EITHER! ha ha! But one of these days I will. You can probably find a nice one on eBay...
I'm so glad you brought that beauty out where it belongs. So gorg!
This reminds me of the sequins jacket that Gucci did for F/W 2009.
Gold sequins is so refreshing after the latest sea of black ones! You look fantastic!
I Love Love Love this jacket, its really amazing. You are so right its a little bold and am sure you got a lot of looks but somethings are just worth it. Awesome!
So pretty! I love the sequin jacket, I have a blue one that is somewhat similar.
SO awesome. your mom is the coolest.

this is so glamourous, very handy to have a cool mother's wardrobe!
oh my my , youlook so cool and sparkly and lovely
fabulous i love the sequins and this outfit is killer
xo!!
Your mom is a much better dresser than my mother. My mother's hand me down clothes are basically Contempo Casual cheapos that are all stretched out and dingy. MOM, WHERE'S MY AWESOME GOLD SEQUINED BLAZER, HUH?
She's ignoring me now.
Adored Austin adores you!
Wow, AWESOME jacket! You wear it very well! - Natalya of Wear Necessities
dang girl. I. am. dying. seriously you must steal from your mom's closet! did you not love it? I think it looks killer on you! You are someone who can completely pull off the bold sequin look. think how much fun this would be to wear circa christmas and new years time! I am in love with it. I'm thinking when I am home next month I am going to go raid my mom's closet for little gems like this. I totally remember her wearing things exactly like that to her parties, and thinking "I want that!". like mother, like daughter. for sure.
