Loving Sequins

I am not Sasha Fierce, but I sure would like to be. Specifically, at the 2009 BET Awards. Balmain and sequins make me weak in the knees. As soon as I saw this ensemble, I went on a mad internet search to turn myself into Ms. Fierce. There are plenty of awesome sequin dresses out there, but the tropical floral motif on Beyonce's is what makes me need it in a bad, bad way. Pageant and prom dress maker extraordinaire, Sherri Hill offers this version, and I'm seriously thinking about pre-ordering it. I find the paisley mesmerizing, but I'm not 100 percent sold on the sweetheart neckline. Should I take the plunge?
