I'll be matching the glasses to the outfits, and this louche outfit seemed to fit.
First outing of this sweater - it's okay, good enough for now. I hate the plasticky fabric.
But the colour, cut and drape are just right, so until I find a secondhand cashmere one...
This is practically office pajamas!
- Sweater - Primark, thrifted; purchased here for $12.00
- Wool trousers - PartTwo, thrifted; first seen here (3rd outfit) in October with Agnes B and sneakers
- Patent leather shoes - Arnold Churgin, vintage 80s, thrifted; last worn here in March with a jungle print and a fin
- Cashmere/wool coat (below) - Sarmite Wearable Art, consignment; last seen here in February
I loved wearing these tweed trousers again, and really liked them with the pink pointy shoes.
Big pockets, yes!
I wore a camisole under the sweater.
It's so sheer you can see my tattoos!
A most spectacular coat.
It poured rain all day today.
This coat got soaked on the way home.
It's wool and cashmere so it's fine. Isn't it cool?
This is the only picture where you can see my little lace socklets.
I love the giant silk scarf swaddling my neck - it's snuggly warm.
I tightened/shortened the very-long trouser cuffs with a bulldog clip per leg to keep them off the wet sidewalks, and of course, I always navigate our streets in my Doc Martens and carry my shoes in a bag inside my backpack.
Accoutrements:
- Silk scarf - Alexander McQueen, consignment
- Toque - thrifted
- Leather gloves - consignment
The stuff:
Black bling:
Ah, there they are.
I've had these for about 10 years and have worn them a ton.
Wait...something's missing...
- Leather cuff - Guess, thrifted
- Fang bangle - Alexis Bittar, consignment, Sidney
- Silver/obsidian ring - consignment
- Silver/onyx ring - Tocara, vintage fair
- Silver/crystal ring - Soul Flower
- Silver chain ring - Mexican, consignment
- Silver Celtic S pendant - UK, gift from Mom & Dad, c. 1990
- Earrings - thrifted
Those glasses are such a cool update on aviators! I couldn't wear them back in the day because my eyes are so bad. They didn't have the technology to make the nice thin lenses they do now. But, that coat...oh, my goodness! Should she ever need to move south to, say Indiana, I know a closet that would welcome her with open arms! I do wish I could wear heels, but my Frankenfoot just doesn't let me balance for long on that kind of heel. I only have three pieces of jewelry from my parents...a copper roadrunner, a charm bracelet (not even very full), and a pair of diamond earrings. I just love that S your parents got you...so cool and so you!

I thought of you today when I visited the Unclaimed Baggage Store in Alabama. We had to be in that state for a school event. We only had to go an hour out of our way to stop at UB. Holy Smokes - Thrift Store Mecca. Peak Thrift Store. They have the whole gamut of price ranges from Keds to Manolo Blahnik. My daughter got two evening gowns for $10 and $16. I only had 2 hours to shop, but we made it count. The whole town was filled with thrift store after thrift store.
