A terribly creative title of today's post, but it's late, and I'm tired and I haven't eaten yet.
- Blazer - Emporio Armani, thrifted; first worn here in October with paisley pants
- Silk ruffle blouse - no label, consignment; first worn here (with this same blazer)
- Culottes - Michal Negrin, thrifted; purchased here for $29.95
- Booties - Mia, consignment; first worn here in October with my 90s tube dress
- Coat (below) - Apparence, vintage, thrifted; last seen here on Monday
Here's with just the blouse (too cold for this!), so you can see the sparkly pants. I've decided they are culottes.
With the blazer. This is how I wore it all day at work.
Rear view.
Done up - I only buttoned it for putting on my coat.
The Unsafe Polar Bear returns! You'll be thoroughly sick of both Unsafe coats by the end of winter.

I'll be back on Sunday with a Bigass Weekend Wrap-Up (TM) - see you then! Have a wonderful weekend, my friends!
Love the burgundy with the black and gray! Very elegant.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThis outfit shows off your new culottes so well - they look great on you and I like the burgundy top and shoes with them! Even if the shoes weren't the most comfortable in the end for your long day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mica! Burgundy is such a good colour with neutrals.
DeleteOh, these pants! I love 'em. Better lock your closet-door...
ReplyDeleteLocked! Ha!
DeleteBeautiful shades Sheila ! and the pants proved to be the perfect election.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy with them - sparkly culottes! It's awesome!
DeleteI love the combination of greys and maroon/wine/claret/burgundy. I love those sparkly pants with the shirt and blazer; a lovely outfit, Sheila.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Veronica! It's such a classy combo. I liked this outfit a lot too!
DeleteFantastic colour combo - I'm not usually a fan of grey but the burgundy elevates it to a cool and classy level. Those trousers are a fantastic fit, you can tell they're a posh label.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, Sheila! xxx
I have been grooving on grey lately, really enjoying how it elevates my brights. Thank you, Vix! I hope you had a fabulous birthday weekend!
DeleteThose sparkly culottes (yes, they're definitely culottes in my book as well!) look fantastic on you, and I love how you combined them with the burgundy ruffle blouse. Those booties are really something else, although I can see they have the "ouch" factor. The things we put our feet through for a fab pair of shoes! Have a great weekend! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann! We do suffer (a little) for fashion, but it's worth it to me!
DeleteI love the Unsafe Polar Bear coat. I'll never get sick of it. It looks so cozy and comfy. Burgundy is definitely your colour. Great outfit.
ReplyDeleteGood to know it has a fan, Sandra, thank you! It's very cozy.
DeleteThoroughly enjoy the color combo and I think you look smashing in the outfit :-) So perfect for this time of year!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laurie! I love dressing for the holiday season!
DeleteFancy pants!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know it!
DeleteLove the monster vest, nothing monstrous about it, just pure glamour! Also love the fine knit wool and that gorgeous fringed mauve jacket! Wow, holiday pizazz!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Sheila, sending hugs from NYC!
