Cold Shoulder and Chalkstripes

I built this outfit around the new-to-me sweater, wearing it plain for its debut. 

I have plans for layering a shirt under it, but it's still too warm out for that. 

• Cotton sweater - All Saints, consignment; purchased here for $30.00
• Wool trousers - Red Valentino, consignment; last worn here in January for New Year's Eve
• Booties - Matisse, thrifted; last seen here in April with red linen
• Loomed Lady coat (below) - vintage 1960s, thrifted; last worn here in December 2024

A lovely sunrise glow on the Castle.

Clouds are beginning to build up here and there. 

I ended up tucking in the sweater which made things a little bulky around the hips.

It's a thin-ISH sweater and is 100% cotton so I risked it. Lesson learned! 

I loved wearing my 100% wool chalkstripe trousers again - a few new moth-holes have appeared, but I don't really care. 

They're Valentino! and I sewed the cuffs myself! 

The Loomed Lady returns! I know she's a favourite of many of you.

It was warm enough to just wear it open like this. I took the gloves off immediately (and forgot to photograph them). 

The stuff: 

I love these wedge booties - they're pony hair (it's actually cow). 

• Silk scarf - Halston, vintage 80s, consignment
• Snake brooch (worn on coat) - antique mall, gift from L
• Wool gloves (not shown) - Parkhurst

Mexican bling: 

The big round bracelet, the tile bracelet below that, the necklace and the spider ring are all Mexican in origin. Cool. 

• Belt - vintage 90s, consignment
• Silver "S" cuff - Taxco, Mexican, consignment, Sidney
• Silver/Mexican obsidian "face" bracelet (I also have matching earrings) - Mexican, vintage 1950s, Grandma J's
