Oh, I'm tired. L and I both worked late (till after 6pm - I usually work to 4:30pm) to get caught up on stuff, then we walked home together (aw), then we went to the gym! It's past 8 now, and we haven't had dinner yet. Ah, life.
But the outfit! We must look at it.
This is my lovely ultra-ruffly jacket (last seen here with some floofy florals) and my black boots again (last worn here, and getting the Vizzini seal of approval).
The dress underneath is a "fresh" item this month; it's a navy corduroy Smoking Lily dress.
I bought it on consignment in September 2011 for $49.99, which is a bit pricey, but I'm sure it sold for well over $200 new. It's a sleeveless dress - check out the pictures here when I first wore it, including the slight bustle at the back and the big screenprint flower on the lower back area. It has a ruffle around the neckline - lots of ruffles is a good thing!
Off to make dinner - I'm famished!

Hi Sheila,
ReplyDeleteI've been following your blog for a while now, and I really enjoy it! You have a fun sense of style! Congrats on almost completing your year long fashion challenge. Once I get the hang of doing my own blog, I might have to try my own challenge.
All the best,
kathy
You have the most amazing collection of tights. They are all just fabulous. I love the design of your jacket.
ReplyDeleteI love this - so ruffly and cosy yet maintaining an awesome structured silhouette. Rest well, dear Sheila!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the ruffled jacket - it is a star! And the great dress is worth every penny - so sassy. Hooray for lighter mornings : >
ReplyDeleteRuffles in all the right places girl you look fab!
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit!! The jacket is STUNNING!! i checked out the other wearings of the dress and that much style for $49 bucks was a steal!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really pretty jacket, Sheila. And as usual, I love your patterned tights.
ReplyDeleteI really love the jacket!! What a great piece!
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit. That jacket is an awesome piece - I hope it survives the challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhen you're childfree you can do things like eat dinner late without a guilty conscience.l
Piękny żakiet:))Pozdrawiam serdecznie
ReplyDeleteThat jacket is just awesome! I hate late dinners because I get hungry at 'old people' times. However I'm glad you had someone to walk home with and share a late dinner with. ;) I'm sure that made it worth it.
ReplyDeleteLove the jacket paired with the dress, really makes the ruffles and details on the jacket stand out :)
ReplyDeleteRuffle-tastic, I say. I also get in late on the evenings I do Fitball - the class is worth it, but it is hard eating late then going straight to bed! (I need my zzzzz's)
ReplyDeleteOh! Ruffled jacket! How I love thee!
ReplyDeleteYou remind me that it's almost 8 p.m. here and I'm famished.
