Blame It on the Boogie

Don’t blame it on the sunshine
Don’t blame it on the moonlight
Don’t blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie

—Mick Jackson

I’ve got bad news, and I’ve got good news. The bad news is that I wanted to share a pair of fabulous Blame It on the Boogie sequin pants with you, and they’re currently out of stock. But don’t worry; the good news has nothing to do with me saving a bunch of money on my car insurance. It’s that I found five alternatives if you want to give the sequin joggers or trousers look a try.

You can also still pick up the pants’ matching Dancing in the Street sequin blazer… at least as I type this sentence. (By the way, doesn’t Nasty Gal have the best names for their products?) Anyway, the sweater I paired it with — that you can wear with anything from jeans to sequins to leather (I’ve done all three) — is also still available and under $20.

I just love this look because it’s incredibly comfortable, almost like wearing pajamas, but it’s shiny, sparkly, festive and fun. Even the message on the sweater — ‘I’ll Be There In A Prosecco’ — is fashionable, even when you’re (fashionably) late! Throw on a pair of black pumps, and it’s party appropriate. All you need is a cocktail… or a puppy.
