on tap

Sequin cardigan/blouse: Thrifted. Jeans: Previously owned by the boyfriend. Spectator brogues: Steve Madden. Tank: Forever 21
I call this the dripping jacket because I bought it with the sequins starting to fall off which is why I liked it. Not the falling sequins per se, but the exposed random meshed areas the sequins left behind.
Initially I thought it was a cardigan, but then I tried it on at the store the other way around and zipped it up at the back and it looked fine as a top too. So I don't know which way it's 'supposed' to be worn.
The first pics show it as the cardi, the rest as a top by itself. LOVE the little ruffled hem at the front when worn as a top.

  1. neat dripping jacket. it could be a cardi, to start with. so the ruffle leaves a nice trail at the back. anyway, i like it worn both ways.

  16. i love how it can be worn both ways! versatility at its best.
    my favorite is when it's open like a cardigan though.
    and the little mesh spots where the sequins have fallen off do make it look much cooler!

  17. Hey Caylee : )

    Its definitely more casual as the cardigan. I do have to say I think I like it both ways though. Nice to have the option!

    What else can I flip around? lol!!

  19. Liz - your so right. Just added a pic that so reminded me of Balmain.

    It came with built in pointy shoulder pads? Talk about lucking out since I do love that look.
