Today was a busy day! Tons of clients at work, much running around, and general "ah! must get this done now!" moments.
- Tunic - Allison Wonderland, thrifted; purchased here for $5.00
- Trousers - Tara Jarmon, consignment; last worn here in September 2016 with jungle cashmere
- Shoes - Celestial Communication Andromeda, Fluevog; purchased and first worn here on our anniversary trip to Vancouver in March
- Coat (below) - Lord & Taylor, thrifted
First wearing of this tunic, and I really liked it, although it wrinkled like mad. It must contain metal! Ha!
So when the clients just kept coming...and coming...I thought, "Maybe I shouldn't have so much of this exposed?" but my company supports my look, so I shrugged and moved on from that negative thought.
Outerwear. Where I look more respectable, as befits a lady who's going on 50.
The stuff:
Delicate bling:
Cuff - Nashville, made locally
Ring - vintage fair
Earrings - thrifted
Awesome ensemble, Sheila! We all have those crises of confidence sometimes. But you truly rocked this one!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Linda!
DeleteI almost never comment, but I just wanted to say that I love your outfit. You look gorgeous. Thanks for your cheery blog, which is one of my favourites.
ReplyDeleteAw, I am so touched - thank you for your very kind comment. It means a lot to me!
DeleteI really like the tunic and pants together - and it's good you realised that you didn't need to second guess yourself. :) Not always easy to remember!
ReplyDeleteI know! I try not to second-guess myself - it gets easier as you get older.
DeleteYou wear everything with confidence but of course in your work setting you ask yourself these questions. I'm glad you won over that little inner confidence moment. Fantastic look, and I still love those new blue Theos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mel! I am enjoying having another pair of specs to play with.
DeleteI think most people are pretty used to seeing tattoos now, even in the workplace. As yours are not blood spewing skulls or naked women, I can't see why your clients would have a problem with them. It's good to have a job where we can be ourselves, inside and out. Many people don't have that luxury.
ReplyDeleteI agree - it's much more common to see heavily tattooed people. Ha, no skulls or naked ladies for me! I am very thankful that I have this luxury, you can be assured! I can't imagine working in a place where I couldn't dress like this.
DeleteFabulous outfit and the coat is the cat's miaow...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Veronica!
DeleteWhat a flattering outline this look creates. I thought you looked fab last week in your jelly-deer ensmeble as it's a great outline, but today you look so chic, elegant and a tad French maybe.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes get that moment of self doubt, but that just shows you're not so up yourself that your ego runs amok. It's always good to take a moment to check - shows you're human sweetie x

Thank you! The pants are from France, that must be what you're sensing, hee hee.
DeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one! Sometimes I think I've pushed the crazy too far. Then I get over it.
lovely outfit, those polka dot pants fit you like a dream and your shoes are really cool!!, glad that you can wear whatever you like at work! hurrah for that!
ReplyDeletebesos
I know, I am hugely lucky that they really don't care what I wear to work. Thank you!
DeleteI plead guilty to second and even third time guessing myself.
ReplyDeleteBesides you're there for your abilities and in addition look fabulous: aren't they just lucky ?
You are so right!
DeleteOh... lovely. So well balanced. Love everything.
ReplyDeleteGreetje
Thank you so much!
