There is a nice horizontal pocket with a wooden-looking button on the back right side. These were wonderful to wear.
Pockets, yessssss...
Outerwear - I popped one of the chestal buttons off the coat today, so I will probably be a

Thank you, Monica! It was a fun outfit to wear.
DeleteThose trousers look even better on! They look amazing on you and I'm not surprised people want to pet that incredible top, it's so cool!
ReplyDeleteI need your shoes in my life - they are blinkin' gorgeous !
Have a fab weekend, Sheila. xxx
Thanks, Vix! The top is a favourite, for sure. The shoes are pretty cool, I admit!
DeletePretty outfit. Obviously from the Advanced Fashion Class. I keep trying to learn how to sew, every time I pop a button myself, but always fail to get around to it. Going to a tailor is just so much easier. Maybe I'll learn when I quit work and have more time.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ally! Sewing is not that hard, especially not sewing on a button - it just takes time. I guess Brownies and Girl Guides were good for something!
DeleteLove the pants! I also love the names you give to your clothes & outfits. If it's not too boring, I think a crisp white button down blouse with your incredible jewelry would be stunning-kind of Hepburn-ish (Katherine or Audrey, you choose) Carol in VT
ReplyDeleteI thought of a white shirt too, Carol! I'll probably do that at some point. Thanks so much - I like clothing with personality!
DeleteI agree with Vix that those trousers look even better on! The brocade is just fabulous and it would make totally awesome wallpaper. Your chic(ken) sweater is a perfect companion. I was thinking orange might be great with it too. Love that bracelet! I've just finished all my sewing projects, consisting mainly of sewing on or replacing buttons. I never seem to get around to it either, and then suddenly there's a pile of things waiting to be done ... Have a great weekend, Sheila! xxx
ReplyDeleteI know, right? I was so happy that they fit so well. I considered orange! I have a blouse (and shoes) and they could be a fun look. I usually save up a pile of button-sewing and do it every year or so.
DeleteAmazing pants! What a great addition to your wardrobe. For styling, I would treat the pants as a neutral. I think you could wear any colour on top, solid, or even a big bold print, but that might just be me. I love this combo and that chicken top though (I remember when you bought it, that store is sadly closed now). I look forward to future fun with these pants.
ReplyDeleteI tried prints - they didn't look quite right, but yes, I will treat them as a neutral, good idea. I know, I looked for that store last time we were in Van, aw...
DeleteThey are awesome pants! :) You know me, my first thought was a grey tee, haha! But I know you have a few more fun neutral pieces. What about yellow too, and a darker blue or navy? Or pink! I like blue and pink :)
ReplyDeleteYou won't catch me in a grey top any time soon! I like the idea of pink! Thanks, Mica!
DeleteThanks, danae! I'll do tan with the Helmut Lang top. I like the idea of yellow, red and orange too. I wish I had a gold lame jacket! No, the dress doesn't come apart at the waist.
ReplyDeleteAny solid color top, the usual white or black or navy, but I also think pink will be great, or apple green, or purple, or yellow. Actually the possibilities are endless, but I can see why prints wouldn't really work. I have paisley patterned pants in white, pale pinke and pale orange. I always only styled them with a white or black T-shirt. Last summer I paired if with a light blue T-shirt and it looked really good. Sometimes the less obvious works. Love your style and your blog, and your kitty :) Lise
ReplyDeleteThe possibilities are endless, but my closet isn't! I have a few of those solids, and look forward to trying them out. I still think a print would work, but it's tricky. I never wear t-shirts - I'll keep trying, though! Thanks so much, Lise!
DeleteI think your styling of this is nigh on perfect Sheila. I have a gold sweater that I would pair up the gorgeous brocade pants with, but hey you'd have to post them to me first, hahaha!
ReplyDeleteAnna x
Ooh, so good (is it??) that we don't live closer, Anna! We'd be in each other's closets constantly!
DeleteI declare openly that I am a brocade fan ! On anything: pants, bags, furniture...
ReplyDeleteThe Helmut Lang would look good with these trousers and I would probably do green with it too.
Thank you! Me too! Hmm, I don't know about the Helmut with these, though.
