I had to wear this new-to-me skirt - I love the pouffy fullness of it.
- Sweater - Dalkeith, vintage early 60s, thrifted; last seen here in January with spring-y pleats
- Skirt - Astr, thrifted; purchased here last Friday for $16.50
- Shoes - Esoteric Temptations Odette, Fluevog; last worn here in November 2016 with stained glass
- Leather trenchcoat (below) - vintage 70s, thrifted
Another rainy morning means rainy gear: my leather trench and my bowler.
The stuff:
Silver bling:
- Chaos rose steel ring - consignment (first wear, was $14.98)
- Crystal ring - Uffizi Gallery gift shop
- Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes
- Brooch - Le Chateau
- Earrings - Lazy Susan's
I really love leather and faux leather with any kind of perforated design going on. I read recently that it's done with a Lazer process. I guess that means it can be done more economically because I'm seeing more of it!
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is relatively conservative except for the fact that the material of the skirt has that funky edge. Really cute Sheila!!
Yes, they are laser-cut, which allows for very intricate designs. I've had bad luck in the past with a laser-cut skirt, though, so hoping this one will be less snaggy than my old one. Thanks so much!
DeleteLike Marilee said I really like the perforated design giving the skirt a little edge - worn with the details on the buckles of your shoes too, it's little touches like that which make your outfits so special Sheila.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mica! I love the little details - not everyone notices them, but I do!
DeleteI love your skirt and top. You look very lady like! The beetle brooch is so sweet and the shoes are witchily fab...
ReplyDeleteHee, so very not me! Thank you, Veronica!
DeleteVery pretty Sheila, the silhouette is fab, it´s got a vintage vibe to it.
ReplyDeleteOh and I'd like to see a close up of the fabric on that skirt.
I think you caught the skirt fabric in the purchase post, correct? Thanks, Lorena!
DeleteYour "witchy shoes" are so very witchy fabulous, Sheila. I love this little short sleeve jumper, I'm remembering I have a short sleeve (very old) jumper which I must bring to life again this winter, thanks for reminding me. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elizabeth - they're tricky to style, but so cute. This sweater/jumper is VERY old, early 60s.
DeleteThe skirt length begs heels and these ain't just any old heels! Wow, they're something else, aren't they? A very feminine look today, and so what that the compliments were unspoken. You knew you looked good x

Yes, I can be overwhelmed with a skirt this length without my trusty heels. These ones are so fun! Aw, thank you.
DeleteThis is such a cute, feminine outfit. The silhouette is very nice and the perforations give it an added punch.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I always look for that "special" element to an item.
