I have a nice short week before another long weekend (it's like I planned it), and it's also the last week before my Ginormous Closet Swap-Over, where I pack away about 60% of my wardrobe for a six-month period, and bring back my stored spring-summer clothes, accessories, jewelry and shoes.
- Blouse - Cache (cash-AY!), thrifted; purchased here for $10.00
- Skirt - J. Crew, thrifted; last seen here in January for a classy work day
- Shoes - Tod's, thrifted; last worn here in February with wallpaper pants
- Coat (below) - Zara, pass-along from Dominique; last seen here earlier this month
I'm also still working through the last month's glut of shopping purchases - I like to try to wear new-to-me things as soon as possible. I mean, what if this blouse had sucked? Better to know right away.
This gorgeous skirt is a good example of not going with just a plain ol' pencil skirt.
Outerwear - I'm having a fedora thing right now, wearing them a lot.
- Hat - Edward Mann, thrifted, vintage
- Leather gloves - Club Monaco, consignment
I also like to avoid looking at people in the mornings.

The stuff:
Pearl bling:
- Double-strand necklace - vintage 60s, Grandma J's
- Pearl collar - vintage fair
- Cuff - faux Gucci, gift from Mom & Dad
- Earrings - thrifted
- Ring - Sarah Coventry, antique shop
This is an awesome outfit, glad you loved the shirt when you wore it. I like the pearls too, I always feel more pulled together when I add a pearl necklace or two to my outfits, haha!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mica! I am too - it's such nice quality. More pearls!
DeleteI'm fixated on that skirt. AND the hat!
ReplyDeleteDon't they go well together, Rebecca? Thank you!
DeleteGorgeous skirt Sheila and I think you look like a vintage mannequin from a 60s magazine with that spectacular coat...
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you, I love that, Lorena!
DeleteHurray for long weekends. I've got one too! That blouse is fantastic on you, such a great find, and it works really well with the skirt. Maybe I should start wearing fedoras too, as I'm not always ready to face people first thing. Unless they'd be snazzy dressers like you, but they're never on my bus ... xxx
ReplyDeleteHurray for us! Thank you, Ann! I also enjoy the mysterious air they give!
DeleteYou do look classy - or should I say sassy? Fabulous, whatever! xxx
ReplyDeleteClassy, sassy, brassy! Whatever! Thank you!
DeleteI love Cache!!! This look is stunning!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI will keep my eyes peeled for this brand - this blouse is amazing. Thank you!
DeleteFew have the charisma to pull off a fedora... but you do. Love the pencil skirt.
ReplyDeleteCharisma or chutzpah? Ha! Aw, thank you!
DeleteEverything looks utterly fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThank you, my dear!
DeleteYes on two counts - that shirt does rock, and yes I too don't want to engage with people until I'm ready!

It's like we're twins, ha!
DeleteI really like the photo of you wearing the coat - the wider shape, and colour, of the coat contrasts nicely with the narrow cream skirt and the cream fedora. Excellent styling Sheila!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you, my dear!
