I'd have to see the whole outfit.... I saw a dress made out of this material recently and it's a very unforgiving fabric, so your body needs to be SICK...
Personally, it's not my style. I tend to think that sequins are best standing on their own...and the same goes for snakeskin print. To have both together might be a bit OTT. But like someone else said, if you throw a black blazer or leather jacket over it (and high-heeled ankle booties!), it would be toned down yet still be striking.
