If you follow me on social media, you probably already know, I just celebrated my birthday. I have a tradition of wearing a from ELOQUII on my birthday. Over the past two years, I’ve found a way to be in warmer weather when December 9 rolled around. Since I’m planning a wedding this year, I decided to save money and stay home. This allowed me to enjoy a few holiday activities that I normally miss while I am gone. I found to all of those events too!
It can be really challenging especially in December when the days are short to get good images of looks when you’re out for an event so I decided to take pictures of everything styled basically the same as when I wore it out so you could get a better look at all the pieces. With the exception of the bonus look, these are all outfits I’ve already worn so I can speak to fit, comfort and all-day wear-ability.
Plus Size Sequin Blazer Sweater
I work as a freelancer a few days a week at an ad agency. They have always been kind enough to invite me to their company Christmas party but I am always out of town for my birthday. Since I stayed in town this year, I was able to make it! I knew that the vibe would be somewhat casual so when I found this plus size sequin cardigan, I knew that was a perfect way to turn up the volume but not be in a full gown (don’t worry that is coming later!) I ordered the cardigan in a 18/20 and the jeans are a size 20 short!

Plus Size Sequin Formal Gown
As promised, I wore a plus size sequin formal gown. This dress is from the highly anticipated collaboration between . As soon as I saw pieces from the collection, I knew I wanted a piece! And I got lucky that I had the perfect occasion to wear a gown to! My fiance, Giovonni, was honored as Equality Ohio’s Advocate of the Year for the work he does in the transgender community. I wore this gown with a lush faux fur coat and I felt stunning. The one shoulder neckline and high slit made for HIGH drama – just the way I like to dress. I am wearing a size 20 in this dress. The sequins on the neckline did get a little irritating to my skin as the night wore on so just be mindful of that!

Funny story about this dress, when I first tried it on, I put it on backwards. I didn’t realize until half way through shooting this dress that it was on backwards. It kinda works this way too honestly and it’s a way to tone it down if you don’t want the drama of the slit.
Plus Size Sequin Skirt
I deviated only slightly from my plus size sequin dress from ELOQUII on my birthday tradition to wear this plus size sequin skirt from ELOQUII. When I saw this styled on their Instagram with this to re-create the look for myself! I have quite a few ELOQUII sequin skirts and this one is definitely close to the top of my list. It is sequin on the front AND the back. It has a good amount of stretch. I always size down for a more bodycon style fit in ELOQUII’s skirts so this is a size 18. The sweater I did in a 20.

BONUS LOOK: Sequin Party Dress
I got this dress as a back up in case anything I picked didn’t fit well or show up in time. Funny enough, this dress was the only one that didn’t fit that great. As always, I checked the Amazon reviews for fit information and I sized up to a XXXX-Large (4XL). It is shown in the images to be oversized but it fit snug on me. I like the tight fit, but it’s not what I ordered. I would say the XXXL-Large fits like a 16/18 so keep that in mind when ordering.

All year, but especially around the holidays, sequins are my favorite thing to wear. I wouldn’t be ready to stare without sequins. ELOQUII always releases amazing plus size sequin pieces around the holidays and what you saw here was just scratching the surface for what they offer. How are you wearing sequins this holiday season?
