The Sequin Dress

There’s nothing like writing about feeling uncomfortable wearing a sequin dress to make you question wearing said type of dress to Alt Summit. This is so silly you guys, but I did it. And look! I was twinsies with Chelsea Costa, so clearly this was a lovely dress.

And while I was worried about the size of my whatever in a few sequins, some people (ahem, Stefan Sagmeister) are comfortable putting out full-frontal photos of themselves to the world. And they give good kisses.

    You look great! I love the sequins and just read the sequin dress post (not sure how I missed that– I am a long time reader and once I even spotted you at Oak brook mall, but that’s besides the point). The point is congratulations on losing weight and you look great. Keep up the good work. I am proud of your accomplishments.

    Don’t you two look lovely? Sequins are so much fun and dress up any look! I think every girl should have a dress with sequins to make the occasion special. So glad that you had a fabulous time at Alt.

    You look gorgeous! I was at your panel, but I never saw you anywhere else. :( I hope you’ll do a fashion recap, because I’m especially interested in the dress or top (I was in the back) you wore Thursday. So pretty!

    You look amazing! The pink tights totally pull the look together! We’re built similarly, so it’s good to see someone else pulling off what I wasn’t ballsy enough to do this year! You ROCKED it!

    I tried on that dress because it was my favorite sequin dress in the stores this year and, like you, felt that I needed to add a sequin dress to my wardrobe. Unfortunately it felt way to short on me. (@5’11”)

    Then i turned around and bought this dress from Nordstrom that is a whole 1/2 inch longer. I kind of want go back and get that zigzag dress too, but what do i need two sequin dresses for?
