Slowly starting to feel like myself again - this already feels like a long week. Not surprising, as I've already put in 4 hours of overtime.
Some new-to-me things, la di dah. Makin' outfits.- Blouse - Max Studio, thrifted; purchased here on the weekend for $10.50
- Skirt - CiCi; last seen here in May for my 2,001st post
- Shoes - Franco Sarto, thrifted; first worn here in May with chartreuse and blue
I like this loose drapey blouse - it was a bit slide-y around the neckline, but it makes me feel good.
A big blouse like this needs a slim bottom. Mine is rather rounded, tee hee. I do love this skirt - it's got pockets!
The stuff:
This is only my second wearing of my $6.00 shoes! What? That's ridiculous. Ridonculous, even. I must wear them more - they were lovely today.
Steel bling:
I liked how this chain bib necklace filled in the neckline of my blouse without being overwhelming. I predict a lot of wear out of it.
- Necklace - thrifted last weekend for $12.50
- Steel cuff - thrifted
- Cage cuff - Bauxo
And with a minimum of fuss (for me!) the windows are all done. They look very nice, and let in a breeze.
Vizzini had to check out the bedroom situation.

Only 3 more sleeps till the big Vancouver +40 Blogger Meet-Up! I should probably think about what I'm going to wear...
Fabulous skirt!!! I adore floral print skirts - a love that stretches back to a girly hued floral denim pencil skirt I had in grade school.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you're having a great week, my stylish friend!

Loving the bright colours, and the print on your skirt. And yes, you've worked the proportions of the billowy top/fitted bottom perfectly. xxx
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling more like yourself! Not easy having lots of extra work to do when you've been feeling unwell.
ReplyDeleteOutfit wise I really like that top on you - it's a lovely colour and great with the floral skirt! :)
Great look - love the floral skirt, and it looks wearable with so many tops. I laid out all my traveling clothes last night - yes, on Tuesday night! - and am telling myself not to stress about it. There is the clothing swap, after all : >
ReplyDeletePockets! I wondered, when I started wearing women's clothes, why they don't have pockets. Or at least some of them.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to see you this week! I'm flying up tomorrow. Which igloo is yours? :-)
Sheila your new top looks fabulous !
ReplyDeleteOh, I do hope you take a lot of pictures at the blogger meet up :) Have fun.
Oooo I'm getting excited. Looking forward to reading your write up on the meet up.
ReplyDeleteI'm digging your hair as always! I added a bit of a pinky red to mine, but it's a lot more subtle! I wish I had just streaked the whole thing now.
I love the color and style of that blouse on you! And pockets...yes, women's clothing needs MOAR POCKETS.
ReplyDeleteAw, Vizzini's little eyebrow whiskers. Mrow. Great picture!
