Hello, I'm back! Miss me?
I've been rather busy. First, on Friday, I wore my picador skirt.- Jacket - Danier Leather, consignment; last worn here (3rd outfit) in October 2014 with Italian florals
- Top - Anne Klein, consignment; last seen here in April 2014 with this same jacket!
- Skirt - no label, vintage 50s; last worn here (6th outfit) in October 2014 with blue and yellow
- Boots - Miz Mooz; last worn here in January with black and silver
I wore the jacket all day as my topper, as well as my outerwear. We've had a gorgeous sunny (but slightly cold) weekend and it's been glorious.
I'm shocked that I haven't worn this top since April - maybe I should move my soft tops into the closet, since I keep forgetting I own them!
I had so much fun twirling for my coworkers on Friday. Lesley (shout out!) noticed that the colouring on the back pattern is different that the one on the front - this is a hand-painted skirt! She knows her textiles and said this is a classic 50s handmade skirt. Sweet!
"What's under your skirt?" |
The stuff:
I went out for dinner and drinks with Sarah from work, so it was a little dark by the time I got home.
- Leather obi - local, gift from L
- Earrings - Frances Jewelers, gift from L
- Lapis lazuli ring - Wendy Brandes
Tony and Janice brought me a really cool necklace back from Mexico.
Do I have the best coworkers or what?
On Saturday morning, L and I met up with Andrew for lunch at Floyd's. I misjudged the time and didn't have time to get my hair into its coif.
Not much effort in the outfit either, but we weren't out for long.- Dress - Jacob, consignment; last seen here in November 2014 with major brocade
- Shoes - Cydwoq; last seen here in December 2014 with weekend hair
I just went with wacky hair, pink and badass accessories
I liked wearing this dress again - it's quite short, though. Must remember that.
At this point, I realized I'd forgotten to put on earrings.
There we go! Outerwear plaid for the win!
The stuff:
Such comfy shoes.
Big metal bling:
First wear of my cage cuff and pinky ring.
- Belt - BCBG Max Azria, consignment
- Cuff - Bauxo
- Ring - local
- Earrings - local
I may have gone a little overboard for a house party.
The Pink Lady |
I am so tall in these boots, that my head is cropped off by the camera! |
This was an awesomely fun party outfit!
- Jacket - Prosper and Devine, vintage store; purchased here a week ago for $24.00
- Dress - Danier, thrifted; last seen here for brunch in February
- Boots - LA Malibu, Fluevog; featured here for Shoe Shine #17 and last worn here (3rd outfit) in June 2013 for L's birthday party
Totally feeling it |
I am 5'10" in these boots - they are so fun to wear for a party.
Ink time! |
Look at those fabulous heels!
It was a bit chilly for our walk to and from the party, so I added my even-hotter pink cashmere gloves and scarf.
And of course, my sensible walking shoes!
The stuff:
Complete badass boots! My feet are a little sore today, but not too bad.
Badass bling:
All the chains!
- Earrings - local
- Cuff and earring - Claire's
- Shield ring - Nine West
- Death Star ring - Stone Roses
I totally forgot about the time change this weekend, so it was a rush to get ready in the morning.
Thank goodness for coffee!
- Blouse - Peter Nygard, consignment; last worn here in February with more cream
- Skirt - Club Monaco; last seen here on my trip to Italy in October 2014
- Shoes - Land's End, thrifted; last worn here in January with trousers
We got groceries, then went to see "We Walk in the Shadows" (IMDB link), a hilarious faux documentary about New Zealand vampires by the team behind "Flight of the Conchords". Recommended!
It was a lovely day again - I just wore my jean jacket over this.
The stuff:
Fab blue shoes! Eee!
Hypno-bling:
- Earrings - Caracol
Officer Vizzini has been slacking on the beat.
"Too sunny to patrol." |
"...and I'm long..." |
"What's that? Can I eat it?" |
"Trees, no birds" |
"Can I go back to my napping now?" |
I hope you all had a fun weekend!
Vizzini - world's cutest cat! (except for mine, natch). I whooped out loud when I saw that circle skirt, what a work of art - and you look wonderful. Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday, xo.
ReplyDeleteOkay, now we have the title of your autobiography: "Magnificently Badass."
ReplyDeleteThe picador skirt is awesome and I love seeing your cat all stretched out and relaxed...sounds like a great weekend.
ReplyDeletePleased to see the first outfit with that pink jacket! it's beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteI also have to say I really love your Friday outfit! the colours and the silhouette, just wonderful. And it's a given that I'd like your maxi skirt outfits, I do have such a fondness for maxi skirts!
Sorry, Sheila, you can't post your fringe jacket in that get-up and not have it eclipse everything else here, except Vizzini with his hitnotizing eyes.
ReplyDeleteYou have the best bling in town, nay, in the province.
You look lovely in that blue hue & 1950's skirt:-)
ReplyDeleteIts incredible how you totally transform yourself !
ReplyDeleteFirst the "picador" skirt, which for some reason i refer to as the "matador" skirt - then the pink short dress followed by the kick ass fringe.
I loved seeing the versatility…all in one post.
The 1950s circle skirt is just amazing, and how could you not shimmy in black leather and pink suede fringing?! xxx
