The title of this post is not an exaggeration. I have owned sequin dresses before, actually just one that I can recall, but never a rainbow sequin dress. Which, in my opinion, is a whole other ball game. Please correct me if I’m wrong. I bought this rainbow sequin dress on Asos (where else?) as a bit of a trial. We have a fancy holiday party to attend this weekend and this was one of many options delivered to my doorstep. I didn’t know how much I’d like it – you know me and my neutrals – but turns out, it’s the holiday dress of my dreams. This trial and success thing seems to be working, huh?
Besides the fantastic rainbow sequins, I fell in love with two details of this dress. The oh-so-fun exaggerated balloon sleeves and the high-collar neckline. I typically struggle with holiday dresses because a lot of them disregard the need for coverage. I’m not necessarily talking about modest coverage, but more about cold weather coverage. This dress isn’t warm by any means – trust me, it was snowing while we took these photos & I froze – but the long sleeves are better than no sleeves. Furthermore, the neckline is comfortable with no need for any awkward undergarments. To be fair though, the shift silhouette does make for a shorter hemline which can be a little uncomfortable, but these super opaque tights from J.Crew saved the day.
So, here’s the deal. Sequins are one of this season’s top trends and if you’ve ever wanted to buy a sequin dress, this is your year. There are so many great options out there. I’m partial to the collection at Asos, but this specific rainbow sequin dress sold out. Your lucky day though! They have hundreds of options and I’ve linked my next few favorites below. A couple showed up on my doorstep, but the rainbow sequins ultimately won. We are pretty lucky to have a fancy holiday party to attend this weekend and I’m excited for an excuse to dress up. And if New Year’s Eve ends up the same way, you know what I’ll be wearing. Hint, hint… this rainbow sequin dress.

This dress looks fabulous on you! I love the colors of the sequins as well! 🙂
Oh, thanks so much! It’s definitely something different for me, but it was so fun to wear!
Get after it, girl! That last photo of you is money. This is such a fun holiday look, and no shock that you wear it with all the confidence in the world. You look great, and I hope that you had a fun time at the party. P.S. I always tell you how nostalgic you make me feel for Iowa, and this is no exception since you took pictures right outside my old work building!
We had a blast at our party and THANK YOU! I went back and forth about this being the one, but I’m so glad I chose it. So fun to wear & now I’m looking for more excuses to put it on :). And that’s crazy! I’ve been looking for some new spots around downtown – glad I could provide some more nostalgia for you!
What a fun dress!

Ahhh love love love the rainbow sequins! Such a fun piece for NYE although I’d want to wear it so much more I think haha.
Aren’t the rainbow sequins fun?! I’m also looking for any other excuse to wear this again!
