As someone so thoughtfully reminded me, the solstice is coming and soon it will start to get lighter in the morning. But for now...
This is my lovely hand-sewn sequin and beaded skirt that I bought back here in July for $19.99 at The Patch (there's a much better picture of it in natural light at that link). It's by Beaded Drama (hee hee) and it's from the 80s. I got a lot of compliments on it today - it really sparkled up the office!
I'm wearing my lovely grey wool boots again, last seen here on Friday (2nd outfit) with my mullet coat and green dress. I have purple tights on, which are visible in the top photo.
This sweater is the reason I did this year-long capsule challenge: to rediscover some of the basics in my wardrobe, and to get more wear out of the superb quality items I do have.
Off to WW!
Sweater (Land's End, consignment), skirt (Beaded Drama), boots (Prepare Volunteers, Fluevog), necklace (consignment), earrings (Le Chateau).
Shiny! Navy is such an underrated color imo. I love both shots of the skirt, but how cool are those sparkles in the second one! Wowza!
ReplyDeleteI don't wear my 'basics' enough. I've been working on it.
Gorgeous skirt!

ReplyDeletefunny thing you mention its from the 80s because i saw a similar one at the J Crew catalogue for this season.
It may be dark, but you glow. The boots and the skirt are 'killer.'

ReplyDeleteYou look lovely in your holiday sequins, Mrs. Sparkles!
Sheila, you are so beautiful. You are one of my very favorite bloggers. I adore seeing what you wear and this outfit is as the Style Crone said "Killer".
