I made you say "blig"! Hee!
This outfit came together because it was all stuff I hadn't worn for a while (or ever):
That grey coat is mine from about 4 years ago. I had given it to Vero last year, and she brought a bag of clothes to Winesday...and there it was! Well, I admit, I'd missed it. I wore it a couple of times in 2009 and 2008 on the blog.I also wanted to wear my sailor pants again. Whoosh!
And the sparkly tank is just so darned...sparkly!
This is my last Wonder Woman pose for August. It's been a blast! Don't forget to check out In Professorial Fashion for their WW Conference!
I also wanted to wear these shoes again before I store them away for fall/winter/early spring. They just don't work with tights, and besides, only wearing them a few times a year means they'll last that much longer, right?The stuff:
There's the big black bling! The plastic bangle tends to fly off my wrist, so kept it on with my rocker cuff. But really, look at those black chains! Sweet Mr. T goodness!Check it out:
So...much...shiny....Heart...exploding...Here's a better shot of the necklace:
From the grossgrain ribbon (adjustable length!) to the bigass black links (they are a solid, smooth hard plastic with a matte finish), I love this. I got a few strange looks and some silly comments from my co-workers, but pshaw!
This, however, is outrageous:

Do you see that? That is the original price. Yes. $89.00. That's just insane. I think the $9 I paid is much more reasonable - that's why I always dig through the sale bins on the counters at Club Monaco.
Have a great weekend!
Jacket (Ricki's), tank (Costa Blanca, consignment), pants (Noa Noa), shoes (Qupid), necklace (Club Monaco), plastic cuff (Le Chateau), rocker cuff (80s).
Hot diggity~! I'm totally into that dusty purple set of hues right now. Congrats on getting the jacket back. It's exciting to "re-find" a piece and have it be new all over again. I'm still anxious to see what I have packed away after nearly 3 years.
ReplyDeleteThe necklace is really cute (but the original price is outrageous!).. 9 dollars is a lot more reasonable. Although I bet that would be a pretty fun DIY.
You look great love the look!! I like wearing coats it just makes the outfit feel so finished and put together ...cute accesories ~Love Heather
ReplyDeleteYou're my hero, Sheila. Not only do you wear great stuff but you find it at ridiculous prices. The necklace is super.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll never tire of your Wonder Woman poses!
I did say "blig" dammit! Love the outfit today. I like the monochromatic look of the dusty purples. So fashionable.
ReplyDeleteThat coat is beautiful! How neat to give it to a friend and then find new life when you get it back. Love the classic gray coat with the sparkly (ahem - "blingy") purple top.
ReplyDeleteBTW: I was in your neck of the woods last weekend, but so briefly that I didn't have time to let you know. Here's hoping that one of these days I'll be able to introduce myself to you face to face.
Ooooo, I love the color combo here! And the sequins are so fun. You look gorgeous as always :)
ReplyDeleteI said BLING...
ReplyDeleteI like this, that top color is NICE.
I want your necklac.e...
Oh, I really like this. I haven't seen you in pants very much. You look very sophisticated and sparkly, which is a very good combination. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI've been terribly remiss about posting comments, but I have absolutely been enjoying your outfits lately. What a great jacket.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Megan! The jacket's been gone for over a year, so it was fun to get it back. I know, crazy price on the necklace!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Heather! I like coats too - the weather has finally cooled enough to wear them.
shybiker, thank you so much. Ha!
Hee, Monica, I knew someone would! Thanks!
Kari, welcome back, girlfriend! Sorry to have missed your visit to town - next time. :)
Thanks, FA!
Lorena, of course you did! Thanks!
SU, no, I'm not much of a pants person. Happy weekend!
Thanks! Kristen, ah, don't worry about it - life happens. So, so sorry about Sophie kitty.
