Sequined Cardigan, Orange Boss Pants and Blue Cocoon

There was a Covid/flu clinic offered in our building today, so I dressed for...getting a jab! 
Absolutely nothing new in the outfit - just playing with stuff I already have and love. 

  • Cardigan - Desigual, consignment; last worn here in September with a squares skirt
  • Sleeveless turtleneck - Contemporaine, thrifted; last seen here in October for my birthday lunch with Mom
  • Trousers - Long Tall Sally, consignment; last worn here in October with a beaded yellow vintage top
  • Shoes - Modern Living Slant, Fluevog; last seen here in August with stripes and goldfish

I had to plan for exposing my upper arm, so layered a sleeveless turtleneck and a cardigan.
I didn't wear the cardigan unzipped like this - it doesn't show the pattern properly unless it's semi- or fully-zipped. 

Without the cardigan. I like showing my ink.
I was pleased with the addition of the red plastic grommet belt to the orange Boss Lady trousers. 

But the cardigan is the star! 
I pulled colours from it to build the outfit.

Black, red, white, orange, bright blue - I have all of these colours in my closet. I could build 10 different outfits with it, easy.
I've liked every outfit I've done with this cardigan - it's a winner. Not to mention the sequined mouth! How amazing is that? 

One arm has swirls and/or tiger stripes in blue. 
The other arm says "Desigual" in a bunch of backward letters. 

I even matched my outerwear to the cardigan.
The Blue Cocoon returns! 

And yes, my arms were cold (which actually felt good on the jabbed side), but not that bad. I walk fast.
This is a very snuggly coat - and I'm gonna be seen, that's for sure! 

Accoutrements: 
More reds to play off that cardigan. It's really working hard in this outfit. 

  • Silk scarf - Elaine Gold, vintage, consignment
  • Leather gloves - Echo, consignment

The stuff: 
I didn't do a ton of walking, just my usual rounds of the office to check in on my colleagues. These are a pretty good heel, though. 

  • Belt - vintage 90s, consignment
  • Bakelite cuff - vintage 60s, vintage mall, gift from L
  • Silver/Lucite bracelet - Alexis Bittar, consignment, Vancouver
  • Silver/Lucite earrings - Tania Gleave, Granville Island studio
  • Silver/onyx ring - Tocara, vintage fair
  • Lapis lazuli ring - Wendy Brandes

I forgot to take the separate picture of the bling, oops!
