Oh, what a crazy week! I am so glad it's over.
Before we zoom through the outfit (because I'm hungry and Sheila needs her wine, stat!), I want to point you guys to a great post by Cara, a Canadian blogger like me (go say hi, she's nice). Cara, this post inspired me to make a little more effort today - I thought about it all day, and I told people about it, and I got what I gave. It works: you get what you give.
I built this outfit around the scarf, so pink, gingham and white were the order of the day. I last wore this simple pink sweater in February 2013 (eep!) here with brown lace. It's a little pilly, but I love the cut of it. Maybe a slightly deeper pink as this tends to blend into my skin-tone.
The stuff:
Speaking of bling:
Sweater (Reitman's, consignment), skirt (Smoking Lily, thrifted), shoes (Aerosoles, thrifted), scarf (vintage), bracelet (thrifted), earrings (Plum).
This was the view this morning from the stairs where I take my picture.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks so much, Sheila! It's the encouragement I needed after a rough day where it was so easy to not give what I wanted to get, or worse, so easy to give back the bad attitudes people were giving me. It's so important to remember that it all comes around, eventually, so it's best to always give your best!
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila! I have missed a few of your posts. I cannot seem to keep up with my life! I have been busy! Anyway, I love this outfit, but pink is a favorite color. The skirt is great. I really like the way it hangs. The outfit in the prior post with the red jacket is gorgeous!! Wowsa.

PS -- will head over and check out Cara's post. :)
"Nurse, bring me wine, stat!"
ReplyDeleteSweet soft sweater! With the gingham swishy skirt and scarf, the outfit has a wholesome 1950s look. (And a complete contrast to your 1940s-esque vamp in black and red in your last post - sorry, just catching up!)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend! xxx
Love the scarf trailing down your back, Sheila - that's a wonderful scarf-style. Good-bye pretty white shoes! xo
ReplyDeleteAmazing how much a simple shift in thinking can affect how everything goes. Great shapes today, Sheila!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the intro to Cara -she wrote a lovely post. Glad it helped turn your day around.
ReplyDeleteI think you had the UK fog from Thursday - I was on a plane that day and couldn't see the runway!
Another romantic colour pairing here, very nice. Light pink suits you so well xx
Taht post by Cara is lovely - and so true! Funny how when you have a bad moment (specially at work, where the majority of bad moments come from!) everything from there goes even further downhill. Shall try to remember to have a positive attitude next time it all happens! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit too - like that skirt so much on you :)
Glad I made you giggle with my earlier comment. I officially have "too many" bags, is that better than giving a number? It makes me feel slightly better than trying to count them all....haha.
I needed Cra's post after the week I've had-thanks!!
ReplyDeleteOOO-gingham swishy goodness--I love that shirt--and pairing it with the pink and that glorious sac==carf is just stunning!
Yes, it was a crazy ass week :)
ReplyDeleteone i was happy to get over with.
But, then there's this week...
I like seeing you in white shoes, it's so difficult for me to wear.
