Thursdays feel like my Fridays now, with the extra hours I put in at the second WW meeting I do. It's a good feeling when all the tough stuff is over - bring on the weekend!
I felt smashing in this outfit all day. I am a fan of pattern matching and who knew red and white polka dot was a neutral?
- Jacket - Desigual by Christian Lacroix, consignment; last seen here in February with orange
- Top - Bordeaux, consignment; purchased here for $18.00
- Skirt - vintage 80s Pierre Cardin, thrifted; purchased here for $24.00
- Shoes - Marc; last seen here earlier this month with all the condiments
I am quite smitten with this jacket. Jacket, thou hast smote me. I wore it as outerwear (it looks wonderful done up - pic in the link up there), and also wore it in the office as my topper when I got chilly.
So much amazing!
This the first wearing of the fabulous vintage Pierre Cardin skirt, which I bought with the spectacular Melanie of
Bag and a Beret. I stroked the sleek silk all day - it didn't even wrinkle! I loved the long sinuous cut of it, although it doesn't look right with flats - needs a heel.
First wear for this white blouse as well. Yes, I'm having a white blouse thing right now.

Note the lopsided shoulders. I really liked how it draped - it reminded me of bedsheet togas (not that I know anything about that, heh).
The stuff:
Wonderful red shoes. This is the kind of heel I can wear. Keepers.
Red and blue bling:
I love all these pieces.
- Earrings - local
- Red ring - Oscar & Libby's
- Swirly ring - Scotland, 1996
- Lapis lazuli ring - Wendy Brandes
I'm off to the ballet tomorrow night! What are you doing this weekend?
I want everything you're wearing! Especially the shoes, jacket and skirt! Melanie brought you some good luck I see.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for some heels in red that I can actually walk in for more than 5 minutes. Where did you buy these?

Suzanne, I got them on clearance at Footloose in downtown Victoria for about $199. They had the plain red version (no strap, no patent) recently. They're by Marc; you might be able to find them online. Beware the sizing; mine are marked a 7 but I really wear a 9.5!
ReplyDeleteGreat shoes. I'd strap these babies to my feet!
ReplyDeleteoh those shoes are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteLove this whole look - from your fab hair to those HEELS, yum. xox
ReplyDeleteOf course red with white polka dots are a neutral, LOL! Fabulous outfits...fabulous coat, dress, shoes, bling...you get my drift, yes? You look awesome! Happy Weekend!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely so much amazing here! I can well understand why you are smitten with the jacket, I would be too, and it really works with the polka dot skirt. When I see shoes like those red ones it makes me sooooo sad I can't wear heels anymore.
ReplyDeleteMight be going to an art opening tonight, and two more tomorrow night, so it's an art-filled weekend for me.
I am all for this look.
ReplyDeleteThe pretty skirt, the drapey blouse and the fun jacket.
Well I am currently stuck in the El Salvador airport .. i hope to be home tomorrow.
Beautiful combination, Sheila, very inspiring! The jacket is a masterpiece, and the shoes are marvelous... again! :)
ReplyDeleteSwoon worthy jacket. Love those shoes too. The strap is extra funky and awesome. I didn't know Lacroix did Desigual!
ReplyDeleteThat jacket, that skirt, those shoes...all so pretty but so awesome together!
