Blue, Olive and a Double Blouse

As I often do, I saved a funky outfit for my Thursday WW meeting, but it was my daytime colleagues who literally gasped at this outfit. That took me aback, as I really didn't think this would ring people's bells. 

 My total score of a blouse is featured, layered over another new-to-me blouse. And I have a fin.

• Digital print beaded blouse - Dries Van Noten,thrifted; purchased here on the weekend for $4.00
• Underneath blouse - H&M, thrifted; purchased here for $6.95
• Skirt - TKStyle, thrifted; last seen here in December 2016
• Shoes - Marc Jacob, thrifted; first worn here with Etro in August
• Leather trenchcoat (below) - vintage 70s, thrifted; last seen here a few days ago

 I layered the cream blouse under the Dries cotton top for coverage and warmth - I do love a good layering top. This Dries Van Noten top was fabulous to wear, but it may be more of a warm weather piece...although I do have a blue cashmere turtleneck that would be fabulous under it!

Showing off the fin on my skirt. This skirt is really thick but very comfy.

 I liked how the olive green went with the creams and olives in the top's pattern.

Long and lean - I am liking this layered look (and I'm alliterating all over the place!). I'm again not focusing on the waist, but letting the clothes do the talkin'.

 Seriously, those shoes were so perfect with the outfit! They are the best out of my 95 pairs, I'm sure!

Outerwear. The rain has calmed down to just a drizzle, so I risked just wearing a fur toque. I was in luck - it only rained when I wasn't outside.

 And I remembered my lovely silk scarf this time. Go, me!

• Toque - Danier Leather
• Silk scarf - Story of Shanghai, thrifted for $14.95, first wear
• Gloves - Parkhurst

The stuff:

 These shoes were lovely again. They give me pleasure just to look at them.

Blue and black bling:

Some old, some new.
