Happy long weekend, everyone! I've got a busy weekend planned, including a bunch of people coming over to our pad tonight for a wee hang-out, so let's get 'er done.
Blue dress!
- Dress - Nanette Lepore, thrifted; purchased here for $26.00 last weekend in Vancouver with Melanie!
- Shoes - Chie Mihara; last worn here in January 2017 with dramatic red
- Coat (below) - Stop Staring!, thrifted; last seen here a couple of weeks ago
It's a gorgeous cut, very flattering on me, totally comfy and just a lovely material.
This is probably about the 6th blue dress in this colour over my whole life, and this is easily my favourite.
The fabric is sheer, light and flowy, with rows of 3D "ribbons" in satin - it's lined in shiny blue, aside from the sleeves - you can see the sheerness near the hem in some of these pictures.
Outerwear - since I had the 40s vibe going on, I went with the swingy dress and fedora.
I felt sassy.
- Hat - vintage, thrifted
- Gloves - vintage, thrifted
- Scarf - thrifted
The stuff:
Circular bling:
- Belt - vintage 60s, Mom's
- Cuff - thrifted
- Bracelet - Lia Sophia
- Earrings - vintage fair
- Lapis lazuli ring and Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes
A very Happy Easter and long weekend to everyone! I'll be back on Sunday with tales of adventure - and my spring/summer closet swap-over!
What a beautiful blue dress indeed! You are going to enjoy it for years. It looks great with those shoes and I can imagine many other shoes in your collection it will look great with.
ReplyDeleteI hope so! I'm looking forward to wearing it again. Thanks, Linda!
DeleteThis is such a fabulous dress on you, Sheila! The colour is gorgeous and it fits you perfectly! Hope you have a fun long weekend! XXX
ReplyDeleteThank you, hon! Happy long weekend to you too!
DeleteOh that's a lovely dress, I can see why you like it so much - the belt is really nice with it too :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your busy night tonight, and have a great Easter weekend! It's a long weekend here so I'm hoping to be a bit productive as well as doing some resting and relaxing :)
Thank you so much, Mica! It's been a lovely weekend - I wish it were longer.
DeleteLove love LOVE this whole outfit today. That dress fits you like a dream.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Charlotte!
DeleteWow, Sheila, you do look amazing! That dress is just fabulous on you. You do so suit this colour, and never mind the slit: I wouldn't mind showing off my legs if they were as fabulous as yours (but, alas!). I love the addition of the chain belt and earrings. Your shoes are to die for (big, big swoon), and you do look sassy in your wonderful coat and fedora! Have a wonderful Easter weekend! xxx P.S. Shall have to book a trip to Amsterdam when the Fluevog opens. Maybe they'll come to Antwerp one day? xxx
ReplyDeleteAw, you are too kind, Ann, thank you! Oh, gosh, I'm sorry, I mixed up Antwerp and Amsterdam! My bad.
DeleteI love that shade of blue on you, Sheila. You look glorious.
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic long weekend. xxx
Thanks so much, Vix!
DeleteWow, what a pretty dress. I admire Lepore's designs. Never expected to find one at a thrift-store -- but if any skilled shopper can, it's you!
ReplyDeleteI see a few of her pieces, but they are usually way marked up. I scored on this one!
DeleteOh what a great dress Sheila ! it fits like it was made for you - and the outer wear is just lovely, enhances your shape beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lorena! It was no contest when I compared it to the browny dress that I wore later that weekend.
DeleteThe dress is a lovely vibrant blue - what a cheerful colour. I adore that coat cos it fits you like it was made-to-measure, and oh goodness, those shoes!

DeleteThe dress does look sooo good on you! The colour and shape are very flattering and it fits you like a dream.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Shelley!
