How to Style a Sequin Blouse

Sequin blouses are surprisingly very wearable. The glitz and glamor can be pared down with the right bottoms and look perfectly stylish and on trend. For anyone who's been eying a sequin blouse but just isn't sure about committing, here are some great ways to style your vintage blouse and make it look modern.

Foxburrow Vintage / With Skinny Jeans & Pumps
Oh Calypso / With tights if it's long enough

Storey Threads / With skinny jeans and leather boots

EAMinternational / With a hat, shorts and thigh highs

Victims or Villians / With leggings and stacked sandals

Hip to the Jive Vintage / With jeggings and booties

Thrifted and Modern / With a chiffon skirt

Storey Threads / With rolled khakis and sandals

NoirOhioVintage / With cutoffs

Gemini Collective / With leather or faux leather shorts and a hat

The Kissing Tree / With cigarette pants and booties

Empress Jade / With high waisted shorts and sunnies

Feeling more confident in your sequin fetish now??? Good!

Here are a few more tips to make sure you get an awesome sequin blouse:

- Look for one with a great neckline that will flatter your face and shape
- Make sure it's the right length for how you want to style it -- go longer for tights or leggings, shorter for high waisted shorts or pants
- Look for patterns or designs that have a modern or retro edge. If you think it's too Cosby, don't get it!

Fun @ The Vintage Bazaar



Saturday and Sunday I was at The Vintage Bazaar in Salisbury MA for my first ever vintage show! It was a ton of fun and I met some great vendors and customers. It's a different and wonderful experience to get to see people try on the items you've picked out and look great in them! When you sell online, you never get to see the end result (well, unless someone is kind enough to send you a photo!) and so doing an outdoor event was really awesome.

Sam from Gilded Rose Studio came by and set up on Saturday to sell some of her shower caps and embroidery.

Here are some photos from the event:
 A table of housewares. There was a little panda bank which went to a young girl, and a red vintage handmade wall hanging that was taken home, too.
The dress form was rotated out with lots of fabulous garments throughout the day. This dress was purchased by another vendor - she looked great in it!
 Tons of clothes and jewelry - and a changing booth in the corner!
Great prints and laces. The blue polka dot was a big hit, but didn't find a new home because it's so tiny!
Day 2 we had some flash sales and sent some great items home with people! We had out a smaller selection so it wouldn't be quite as overwhelming.
I put a rack of great blouses and a spinner of scarves out for people to browse as they passed.
Me the first day in my 1950s polka dot cotton dress. Lots of compliments on it!

I had a great time and am trying to work out how to do the September Bazaar... I have a vintage wedding to go to that weekend but my friend Katie of Dose of Happy may be able to man the booth for me...we'll see!

If you met me at the Bazaar make sure to use the box on the right side of the site to sign up for the Foxburrow Vintage Email Newsletter and make sure to like Foxburrow Vintage on Facebook, too!

If you shopped at Foxburrow Vintage and have a photo of yourself in one of your finds, I'd love to see it!!
