Photos of me by Jeremiah.
So I really, really wanted to wear this outfit during the 30 for 30, but I didn't have many opportunities to try it out in my everyday life -- no holiday parties or anything going on over here yet. So I went ahead and just wore it for a pizza outing downtown with Jeremiah. It ended up being perfect because a) it was graduation day at UGA, and I was a representin' alumna in my school colors and b) there were so many graduates outside taking photos of themselves in cap and gown, that Jeremiah and I didn't look bonkers taking my outfit photos at random spots. Win, win.
At first glance, it looks like there is too much going on with this outfit and you'd think the band jacket and the sequin top would compete for attention. Instead, I think they complement each other because they're both working with the same neutral color (black), and the sequins don't overwhelm the costume characteristics of the band jacket.
Now, now if I could just find a traveling disco band, my life would be complete.
I don't think its too busy at all sweets..I adore the jacket..and LOVE you in red:)

love it! i think sequins go with anything this time of year :)
ReplyDeleteAw yeah! Definitely feels very well proportioned, I don't think either statement piece overwhelms the other, and the jeans keep everything low-key. Just fabtastic!!
ReplyDeleteIf you find a traveling disco band, I DEMAND to be notified.
ReplyDeleteI love you in jeans, JoAnn. And the combo of sequins and band jacket is absolutely inspired.
One of my absolute favorite looks on you! =) The jacket + sequins combo is fabulous, not too busy and just the right amount of glam.
ReplyDeleteI love the combo...the fun sequins and that great jacket!! Such a great outfit!
ReplyDeleteI giggled at the title of this post. How much fun would Sgt Pepper's disco be? You would be perfectly adorned for it. :)
ReplyDeletegreat title, and even better outfit! I love the blazer and I'm incredibly jealous that you thrifted it. What a score!! Also love that you're reppin UGA, although I'm not a fan of the team (go gators!!)
ReplyDeleteI totally love that jacket! It looks great in this outfit. And how cute if your necklace? Love it.

you look fabulous in red! love that coat (:
ReplyDeleteI think this is such a great look. Both a such standout pieces, you would think that it would be too much, but it's totally not! I love the peak of sparkles with pop of red.
ReplyDeleteI also love that you are wearing the sequined top during on a totally average day...I always want a top just like that and always question where will I wear it. Now obviously I know: to get pizza!
There's that sequin shirt again that inspired my quest to find a sequin tunic. I now TOTALLY understand wearing the bulldog colors. Having a boss who graduated from UGA I understand southern living so much better than before...that and football season. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great jacket, and I don't think it is too busy at all.
