I love all the suggestions for future monochrome outfits! White (yup, several options there), pink (ooh, very tough - I don't have pink shoes!), green (kind of already did that here for St. Patrick's Day), and an all-monochrome week in a rainbow of colours! Wow, you guys really challenge me.
Today's outfit: not monochrome.
I'd forgotten about this jacket, since it has to get dry-cleaned periodically and so I throw it into the Laundry Bag of Doom and then it's like the Bermuda Triangle until one day I notice that there's something in the bag and I go, "Oh yeah, I have an awesome cream blazer."
I last wore it here in March with my plastic shoes (Vivienne Westwood!).
The skirt is indeed suede - I do enjoy wearing leather and suede in the summer. It's not hot to wear at all! That fake "pleather" and PVC is horrid in hot weather. I last wore the skirt here in May with teal and yellow (and a scabby knee).
The stuff:
The bling things:
Jacket (Club Monaco, consignment), blouse (Coldwater Creek, thrifted), skirt (Danier, thrifted), shoes (Hale Bob), belt (Club Monaco), green ring/bracelet (consignment), spinner ring (Twang & Pearl), earrings (Plum).
Very professional look.
ReplyDeleteOooh it's not monochrome, but that blouse does look amazing with that olive skirt. I never could jive with lined skirts in summer. It's just too hot in the South.
ReplyDeleteReally like the skirt and blouse together, they pair beautifully and the white jacket is a nice topping piece :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to see you do a rainbow week with a different monochrome outfit every day! :D
The word chic comes to mind when I look at this outfit - I think it's the neutrals, they look very sleek and stylish! :-D
ReplyDeleteAll such nice pieces, lovely together - excellent suede skirt!
ReplyDeleteI've got a big pile for the cleaner's too, starting to rival my Mending Mountain, uh oh!
It's not monochrome, but it's the same colour family!
ReplyDeleteLadylike with a kick! Love those shoes - and the suede skirt has me longing for a few cooler days. You look terrific, Sheila.
ReplyDeleteVery chic and smart. You look like you mean business today, Sheila!
ReplyDeleteJust went back to catch up on your last post - love the red/brocade/leather combination. I vote a monochrome week too, you pick the colours! Go on, you know you can't resist the challenge! xxxxx
I really like this outfit a lot,Shelia...it is something I would wear if I had it!! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteYour dry clean bag = my handwashing bag.
