Happy weekend! Everyone having fun? I am! L and I cleaned the bedroom top to bottom, I sorted out my November capsule wardrobe (and discovered I was about to unwittingly duplicate a shoe! Heavens!), and I may nap a bit.
Edit to add: yes, I'm in the area that the earthquake affected, but farther south and we didn't feel anything. Good vibes to the communities farther north who might be in danger. My area is in a tsunami advisory, but it's considered to be at a very low risk level.
I went to my WW meeting this morning and then for lunch with L and a bunch of friends.
I didn't feel like wearing tights, so I wore knee high blue and black argyle knee high socks. I don't care if I'm too old for this look - I felt great.
I wore odds and sods of silver jewelry ("you missed one finger," one of my friends said at lunch).
Sweater (Reitman's, thrifted), cami (Mexx), skirt (Jacob, thrifted), boots (Marc Softwalk), underskirt (Noa Noa), obi (Smoking Lily), socks (MacGregor), assorted charms, earrings and rings.
I am getting excited about November's capsule - only 3 outfits to go for October, including my Hallowe'en costume which is actually made from my capsule! I'll be working on that tomorrow.
A shoe duplicate! Oh, the horror! lol
ReplyDeleteYou are not too old for this look. You have great legs, and the socks are fun with the colors in your obi and sweater.
I took a long nap today. I will be taking one tomorrow - and cleaning our bedroom from top to bottom. It is finally getting cold tomorrow, so it will be fun to move fall/winter clothes to the front of the closet.
Are you okay up there? Aren't you near the area where the earthquake hit????
ReplyDeleteHi, Chrissy, I'm fine, thank you for checking. We didn't even feel it here, and our area is considered very low risk for a tsunami, although there is a warning.
DeleteLove this look on you, the red and navy work so well together!
ReplyDeleteSounds like such a productive day too :)
This is cute and unique. I like it; you have your own inner style guide and it never seems to fail you.
ReplyDeleteThe socks are an unexpected delight. Love that!! No such thing as too old. And I like that sassy netting peeking out there.
ReplyDeletePlease rewind - this is NOT the end of October. That means the time roll-back. No, no, no! It's already dark too early.
I'm loving the sheer peeking under your red pencil skirt. And I agree with Melanie. Never too old! You look great as your creativity shines!
ReplyDeleteReally, really glad you, L, and Vizzini are safe! You look fantastic, Sheila! I am also a 40+ wearer-of-knee-socks-with-boots-and-skirt, and I say pooh pooh on ageism! I love how you've created such a range of looks with this capsule, you are a superstar. I'm looking forward to your Halloween costume!
ReplyDeleteI love the net skirt! We are thinking alike today about tulle : > And the knee socks are wonderful with the boots. I think you look smashing for any occasion, esp lunch with your favorite people.
ReplyDeleteYou're totally right - this outfit looks excellent and you look great, and most of all, that is partially due to the fact that you aren't going to let some societal constructs dictate what you wear. Hooray for wearing what makes you feel good and looking great in it!
ReplyDeleteI love it with the socks!! Quirky and so you!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad y'all are ok re: earthquake!!! We are getting hunkered down here for hurricane Sandy!!
This looks great. You have good legs (and knees!), so yes to the socks. Boo to silly age limits, mostly dreamed up by people with no style. I like the floofy net underneath, very nice.
ReplyDeleteLove the obi belt and socks! Looking forward to your next months capsule.
ReplyDeleteYour belt/obi is sublime! Can I borrow it?

It's good to know you were not affected -
ReplyDeleteSmoking Lily is always perfect - i am a fan of their brand because of you-
Sheila, I always love to see how you've mixed things up. It encourages me to do the same. So curious to know what you Halloween outfit is...
ReplyDeleteI just had to say I think you are totally ROCKING this look. I love your style in general.

Aw, thanks so much, Becky! I appreciate your kind words - thanks for reading!
DeleteI absolutely adore this outfit!! I think this month's capsule might just be my favourite... xx
