I know, right? Orange shoes with this outfit?
- Jacket - H&M, thrifted; last worn here in September 2016 with sheer dots
- Lace shirt - Abercrombie & Fitch, thrifted; last seen here (3rd outfit) just a week or so ago for weekend shopping
- Skirt - Bianca Nygard, consignment; last worn here in October 2016 with a once-worn sweater
- Shoes - Big Presence Desmond, Fluevog; last seen here (2nd outfit) in February in the snow and rain for the VFF Gala event
- Coat (below) - Lord & Taylor, thrifted
I have mixed feelings about this lavender blazer, though. I'm not a fan of the one-button stance, being gifted in the boobular region.
Outerwear. Still required, as the day called for rain, but it ended up lovely and sunny.
The stuff:
Purple and orange bling:
- Necklace - thrifted
- Earrings - local
Lavendar and orange are a dream, Sheila! You look corporate smart today and it's sharp. The one button doesn't look like it's an issue, but maybe it feels so. This is a full marks look for me.

Thank you! It felt less comfortable as the day went on, but I'm up a couple of pounds right now, so that makes a difference, I find.
DeleteI agree - orange and lilac are a great combination! Actually, I was just thinking how flattering that style of jacket is on you. And you can never go wrong with orange shoes! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Curtise! I have another similar jacket (in green) that I like more, so not sure if this one will make the cut. Orange shoes, on the other hand - always a win.
DeleteLuv the pop of orange!
ReplyDeleteThank you, m'dear!
DeleteThose orange shoes are so smart! I like the jacket--especially the peplum ruffles!--but it looks a bit difficult to wear: an unusual shade, along with the high-stance collar and the single button closure. I think you rose to the challenge.
ReplyDeleteAren't they fab? Orange! The jacket is a tricky piece - it really doesn't go with very many colours, and it's quite limiting. Thank you!
Deletewouuu, I love this orange & lavender color combo, it looks stunning!, and I love that your beautiful necklace contains both colors, so lovely matching bijouterie!, you look gorgeous and elegant, with an orange touch of fun (those shoes are fabulous!)

Thank you! I love using one piece to inspire all the others - that's how the magic happens for me.
DeleteI heart your necklace - such fabulous colours.
ReplyDeleteI like the blazer especially and think it looks great on you - boobs or not. I thought I had mastered (mistressed?) the boob thing but some things still look better than others on me in that department. I would have thought the single button deep V style was good for us 'boobies' and it certainly looks stylish and flattering on you!
Genius idea with the orange shoes for contrast.
Thank you! I love it too - not bad for under $10. I prefer multiple buttons on a blazer for the "lock & load" properties on us "boobies" (hee), but thanks, my dear!
DeleteAgree this is a work look.
ReplyDeleteI would have never thought these shades would look so good together and have you tried the blazer unbuttoned ?
Yeah, it would have been wrong for the theatre. I wore the blazer unbuttoned last time, but this time 'round, I didn't wear enough coverage under the lace top, so I had to keep it buttoned.
