I like to make a habit out of wearing things that most people would find inappropriate for work. It's a challenge for me to see if I can get away with it.
- Coat thing - Design Lab by Lord & Taylor; first worn here (3rd outfit) to see CR Avery in September
- Blouse - Bordeaux, consignment; last worn here with lilacs in August
- Leather Pants - Gap, thrifted; last seen here in August with denim and florals
- Shoes - Poetic Licence; last worn here in January with black, blue and white
The stuff:
Bold bling:
- Belt - gift from Ruth
- Necklace - thrifted
- Earrings - Tania Gleave
Just as I was about to leave this morning, I spotted Vizzini up on his dining room post.

Oh yeah, the duster is a schtar! But the leather pants are pretty fantastic too. I love when my cats do stakeouts -- intensity, they has it (they all live indoors).

TELL me that it is not snow that I see through your window! TELL me that your co-workers MUST have commented/complimented on this fabulous outfit!
ReplyDeleteI suspect that part of the reason you "get away" with wearing unusual clothes at work is because your co-workers have become accustomed to you stretching the envelope. "Oh, that's just Sheila," they might say when you show up in something that approaches the line. In this way, your past history and reputation actually expand the range of permissible outfits for you. (Candidly, I'm jealous!)
ReplyDeleteWow! I absolutely LOVE this outfit! I'm drooling....I need to copy this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping me inspired and pushing me to step outside of the box!

Susanjmb, that is NOT snow! That's white lichen on the maple trees - I also had to blow out the colour on the photos to see Vizzini's face. We never get snow here - if we do, you will know it, as I'll make a big deal of it!
ReplyDeleteI love your coat thing. I would love to take a twirl in it. And I'll bet Vizzini loves the fringe.
ReplyDeleteNo reason why this outfit isn't work-appropriate that I can see - it didn't stop you doing your job, did it?! Love the leather trousers and the fabulous fringey jacket. xxx
ReplyDeleteThis is just an all-round awesome outfit - love the leather pants, fringey coat and glam booties. Like you, I push the envelope with regard to what is "work appropriate wear", and I think my co-workers have adopted the attitude of "Oh, that's just Shelley". It's fun, though, isn't it :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool, stylish outfit. You look like you could easily be the front woman for a fabulous rock band in this chic fringe and leather ensemble.

Cool indeed !!! yeah twirl it Sheila !
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a co worker like you that I could twirl with.
