I recently went to a luncheon put on by a local chapter of my sorority to honor a few community leaders and award a scholarship to a local student who, despite family and economic challenges, still forges ahead with his/her education. The luncheon was held at the Adams Mark hotel in downtown Dallas. The program was great and the speaker, Julianne Malveaux, was fabulous! The luncheon is the EVENT OF THE YEAR for this chapter and the ladies all turn out in the best of their best Sunday best. Now my sorority is known to be a bit 'bougie, so gorgeous hats, heirloom pearls, and matching shoes & handbags usually abound at the event. But is it just me, or aren't sequins just not the "it" thing to do for daytime events? I LUV a little bit of shine and shimmer just as much as the next girl -- the surprise bling of the perfect bronze handbag, the shimmery hint of a silk cami under a staid business suit, or the sexy silver sandals that show off a perfect pedi -- but full on sequins from head-to-toe before 5 p.m.? I think not!
