A long day today, as my office moves towards our last day (this Friday). I'm trying to keep my cool. More chill; less spaz - that's the motto for 2018.
- Blazer - Helmut Lang, thrifted; purchased here on the weekend for $69.95

- Coat (below) - Hilary Radley, thrifted; last seen here in January
I love a good boyfriend blazer. Look at those gorgeous shoulders!
Add a sheer skirt so that we're not too conservative!
Outerwear - totally freakin' cold, COLD today. But bright and clear and no wind - not like on the weekend!

- Gloves - Parkhurst
The stuff:
Throwback bling:

glad that you look so fabulous even in a stressful situation!, I love your sheer skirt and the subtle color combo, so elegant (with a twist!) and your coat looks so awesome!. Fab accessorizing!

Thank you - I try not to let my outfits slip, even when I'm not really taking good care of myself right now.
DeleteLove this look on you! The skirt looks festive to me. This past year, I have been practically craving olive green. I am a fair skinned red head, so it's really not a bad color on me.
ReplyDeleteUm, did I read your office is closing? Like, you are needing new employment? Wow. If so, I'm hoping everything sorts out well. From reading your blog here, I can tell you put your heart and soul into your work. Take care.
Thank you, Amie! Ooh, all greens would look wonderful on you - I was a "natural" (ha!) redhead for many years.
DeleteNo, it's not closing, just relocating. Don't worry.
Oh you know I used to have a black necklace with that extra loop and now you've got me wondering where it is!
ReplyDeleteGood luck balancing everything as the move draws nearer - you are doing so well looking stylish even if you don't feel pulled together, you definitely look it! :)
Ha, you too, eh? They were a "thing" for a while. Thank you, Mica!
DeleteThe chiffon-y skirt is perfect with your posh blazer and totally fabulous with the splendid ocelot on top.
ReplyDeleteThe move sounds like a nightmare, sending you lots of happy vibes. xxx
It's already a nightmare, Vix, but thank you for the vibes! I'll take 'em!
DeleteI'm glad you are able to keep your cool, even if it's just on the outside! I love the contrast of the blazer with the sheer skirt, and the ocelot coat is freakin' awesome. We've got a cold snap coming on, so maybe it's time I get out my unsafe leopard ... Meanwhile, I'm keeping everything crossed that the move will be as stressless as possible - if such a thing exists! xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm barely hanging on right now. Must take care of myself! Thank you, Ann!
DeleteThat's a great ploy pairing up the masculine cut jacket with that gorgeous floaty skirt, and yes I do remember you attacking the lining!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move - stress city beckons I fear.

Hee, someone remembers! Thank you, Anna! I'll try to avoid the stress where I can.
DeleteGood luck with the move - hopefully it goes smoothly with the least amount of stress (for you) as possible.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI am go8ng through a lot of your posts my dear. Not commenting on everything although I LOVE everything. Gosh you are a good stylist. But I just had to say this. Why not purple with olive? It is really like red and green, complementary colours. No problem at all. Please wear those fab shoes more often.
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit. And yes I can understand Helmut provides a quality jacket. The skirt is a dream.

I love when you do this, thank you, Greetje! Aw, so sweet of you! I love purple and olive together, but my brighter purple that I used to have didn't look right with more muddied autumn colours. Now that my hair is a softer "natural" purple, I like it again. I'll try to wear the shoes more!
DeleteYou look appropriately bundled for this cold snap. At least the sidewalks here have been navigable, and, if not, for some reason the bicycle lanes are always clear so you can walk there without fear of wiping out. Love the long skirt - swoosh factor 10.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad we are done with it now! Swoosh Factor is so important!
