Let's get in the "way back" machine and go to...the 80s!

| I was informed I looked like a pumpkin today |
So, for the first Tuesday back after the last summer long weekend, I went vibrant! Also, I'm planning on stowing away these culottes with my spring/summer clothes, so one more kick at the can for them. Considering that I didn't think I would wear them much when I thrifted them back in early April for $4.00, I have now worn them in 5 outfits. That's pretty good cost-per-wear right there.
The orange sweater was chosen because it goes well with the scarf. I'm kind of doing a scarf theme this week - I need to weed out some of the ones that don't work for me. Forget spring cleaning - I'm doing fall cleaning!
The stuff:
Ba-da-bling:
What era are you drawn to these days? I'm also vibing on the 70s big-time.
Sweater (Liz Claiborne, consignment), culottes (Jac Dale, vintage 70s, thrifted), shoes (Tsubos), scarf (Adrienne Vittadini, vintage 80s, consignment), cuff (thrifted), earrings (vintage, thrifted).
This is a perfect example of using a scarf to build an outfit around!!! I love it--those culottes have proven to pretty awesome!!
ReplyDeleteOh, '80s all the way, me too! Your culottes are too fabulous. :D
ReplyDeleteI love those culottes~!!!
ReplyDeleteThe color is so so awesome. I'm heading back towards my punk-days I feel like. Whether that's an era or not, I'm lovin' the black and red with punky accents. I have the occasional light and floaty day.
I adore those shoes too! I almost bought them a few times, but the open toe kept me from it.
Love all of the bright colours in this outfit! Shame about the orange top going, but you're right if you're not wearing it much, better to make room for something you will wear :)
ReplyDeleteLove this look, Sheila - and I share your love of the 70's style.
ReplyDeleteI love this resurgence of 80's stuff since I was a little too young to enjoy it the first time around! I really love your fun scarf. And I do fall cleaning too, sometimes I'm even more productive at it than I am at spring cleaning!
ReplyDeleteLove the bold colours, those culottes are spectacular, every time!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I am totally envious of your Hawaiian maxi dress, btw! xxxx
Totally a great time to be a teenager! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh man, I owned that very scarf back in the 1980s. It was a big splurge for me at the time. I wore it a lot, and somewhere along the way, what with the big move across the ocean and all, I lost track of it. I have this vague and totally unrealistic hope that my mom donated it, and it somehow made its way to you.
ReplyDeleteI'm not "organized" enough to think about the decade I might be channeling. Hope is is NOT my teen years, before women wore jeans... Love all the brights, the scarf in particular. And those culottes are GREAT!
ReplyDeleteVibrant colors! whwner you wear those shoes i cannot tell you how much i like them and i'm so happy i copied you and bought them. They are comfortable and even though i wear them a lot, they seem to be new. Total quality.
