I knew I'd need a stretchy and comfortable outfit for the first day back. The ruffled jacket is my favourite piece in this outfit and deserved a re-wear. Pockets!
It ended up being dry today, although still cold.
I reached for my down-filled puffer to keep me warm.

The stuff:
I was surprised to see that I haven't worn these shoes in almost a full year. Even though they are only out for 6 months, that's not very much. It might be time to move these along...

Red bling:
I made some small adjustments to the bracelet's slide lock - it fell off twice during the day, so I fiddled with it a bit more when I got home. Otherwise, I loved it.

I love seeing all your vintage jewellery, Sheila. X
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoy it, Jess! I love wearing it!
DeleteFabulous, as ever! I'm glad you managed to fix that bangle, I'd have hated for you to lose it! xxx
ReplyDeleteWell, I know why it was consigned! It was an easy fix, just a pair of pliers! thanks so much, Vix!
DeleteThat' s a lovely outfit to start back to work in. I'm sure your fellow workers appreciated seeing you in it.
ReplyDeleteYou look fab! Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteIt's a rare occasion when I smile wider at your jewelry than at your outfit but that's what happened just now! Your jewelry is sheer delight – the reds cause the smile, the bronze and brass simply shine – how could the combination NOT cause a smile! I also love your skirt for the colors and drape so am giggling that your favorite is the ruffled jacket. :-)
ReplyDeleteMay each day be an easier adjustment back into the swing of things. Like you, I've also noticed that the daytime darkness is slowly beginning to recede; it stays lighter later, bit by bit! Are you familiar with Port Townsend in WA? Robin and Emma spent New Year's Eve there and quite liked it. Hi Barnabas & Whateley!
Cheers, Laurie
