In spite of my planning this past Sunday, and putting together a week's worth of outfits, life intervenes. My feet were still feeling tender from my shoes yesterday - there was no way I was subjecting them to another pair of heels today.
So, here we go - a whole new outfit pulled together in about 2 minutes this morning.
- Sweater - Jones New York, consignment; first worn here in October 2015 with that skirt from Monday's outfit
- Leather pants - Gap, Fall 2000, thrifted; last seen here in March 2016 with leopard
- Shoes - Noa Noa, consignment; last seen here in November 2016 with red pants and a cowgirl coat
- Coat (below) - Hilary Radley, thrifted
A lot of people (men and women) check me out in these pants. I have the same pants, but in a longer length in a wine-merlot colour (here). They are from Gap's Fall 2000 line, so they will be 17 years old this year!
Outerwear:

| "I hear the wind howling. Are you sure you don't want to stay home and cuddle?" |
The stuff:
 |
| "Don't worry, Sheila, we'll take care of those feet." |
Boring bling:
- Leather cuff - Guess, thrifted
- Bangle - Glee, local
- Earrings - Tania Gleave
I have another event to go to tomorrow night after my WW meeting, but I'll be back on Friday with a two-fer for you!
I like the black and red combo. I'm in awe that those pants are 17 years old too! While I have a lot of old bags in my wardrobe I don't have many vintage pieces or anything with a history. I can't think of any clothes over 10 years old which is sad - hopefully I can hold onto the pieces I have now a little longer!
ReplyDeleteIt's a classic colour mix, isn't it? I haven't had the pants that long, but I love how the style has come around again. Thanks, Mica!
Deleteohhh, barefoot!! I'm totally amazed!! you're so brave!
ReplyDeleteLove your red leather pants and that striped sweater, such a classic & comfy combo!

I felt pretty silly with bare feet in this weather! I did wear socks with my runners walking to/from work. Thank you, my dear!
DeleteWhat a splendid spontaneous outfit - the wardrobe editing sure pays off. I can't help saying that I'm surprised you don't take advantage of the cold spell to wear all your fabulous boots, I hate having cold feet! Though those shoes are darling. I wear boots whenever it isn't too hot for them, as there's so much of the year that it's just impossible here.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Radostin! I don't actually find boots to be that much warmer, and for me, because I walk to/from work and carry my shoes, boots are just that much heavier/bulkier to carry. Hence, I wear them more on weekends.
DeleteIts an eyeful outfit a real head turner. Love the colors here.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lorena!
DeleteOh stellar look, lady! Love the earrings that match the pants. Definitely one of my faves since I started following you. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Aw, that's so sweet. Wow, I have a lot to live up to! Ha!
DeleteYou wear pants like a pro. I need to study what you do.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a sweet comment, Ally! Thank you!
DeleteNeat outfit in just 2 minutes! Those leather pants are worth a wolf whistle or two Shiela.
ReplyDeleteTried to post twice on yesterday's outfit and it just kept on disappearing. Fingers crossed this will be ok x

Yup, they get a bit of attention when I wear them, not that I mind, hee hee. Aw, sorry to hear that - Google can be a pain!
DeleteI used to love wearing leather pants in the winter as they do cut the wind very well, but I don't have any that fit me at the moment. Love your red ones though, especially worn with black and white stripes.
ReplyDeleteThey do! It's hard to find them - I've never found a black pair that's worked for me. Thanks, Shelley!
DeleteFabulous pants! I was worried about your ankles, though...
ReplyDeleteHa, no worries, I pulled my socks up high (very classy, lol) when I put my runners on for walking to/from work.
DeleteI'm definitely checking you out in these pants
ReplyDeleteThanks.
