This post will feel small after yesterday's monster, hee hee. Rolling right along, as I do...here's today's jeans-themed outfit, featuring my denim skirt.
- Blazer - Vero Moda, thrifted; purchased here for $10.00
- Top - American Eagle Outfitters, consignment; purchased here for $6.50
- Skirt - Les Filles des Neaux, thrifted; first worn here (3rd outfit) in March on our anniversary trip to Vancouver
- Shoes - Down to Earth Hadfield, Fluevog; last seen here (2nd outfit) in April with a bad dress
Not including my shoes, my entire outfit was bought second-hand for exactly $20.00 (yes, you mathy types, I paid $3.50 for the skirt).
I adored this slinky deep burgundy velvet blazer too. It's begging to be all slouchy - the sleeves are really long and are meant to be scrunched up. I opened the pockets up this morning. Jam those hands in there!
Walking to and from work was annoying as both the jacket and the cami-top shifted around from my shoe/lunch bag and my cross-body purse.
The stuff:
Silver and stone bling:
- Stone bracelet - gift from L
- Silver cuff/earrings - Fossil, gift from L
- Shield ring - Nine West
- Turquoise ring - local
Denim skirt, sequin top, velvet blazer -- who would have thought this would be such a gorgeous outfit? You -- of course!
ReplyDeleteNo sequins here, Cynthia! Aw, thank you!
DeleteLove the velvet-ness!!!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I love velvet.
DeleteI'd have a lot of trouble coming up with jeans-based outfits for a week ... Knowing you, though, your outfits will be as varied as ever. I'm loving the crushed velvet top and velvet blazer (so much velvetness going on!), but I'm hearing you on the stickiness of the synthetic velvet material. That stone bracelet is fab! xxx
ReplyDeleteYes, it's been a challenge for me! I have had many denim pieces over the years (vests, dresses, shirts, skirts, pants) but very few right now, just enough to do a work week. Thank you! You can never have too much velvet. Isn't the bracelet lovely?
DeleteI love the velvet on velvet, even if it was a bit annoying with your walk to and from work! I bought a velvet belt and I was feeling like I'd taken a dip into the velvet, but all the velvet you've been wearing lately has me thinking if I should try a bigger piece! My friend has some gorgeous velvet pieces!
ReplyDeleteMe too - I don't regret it. More velvet, Mica! You need to step out of your comfort zone!
DeleteThat's a fabulous;y tactile outfit and the colours are lovely.Drooling over the stone bracelet! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Vix! You would love this bracelet in person - so many stones!
DeleteIt's a very formal top and more laid back bottom look. Like something the newscasters would wear on set !
ReplyDeleteYou know i love that velvet.
Lol, totally, ha ha! You would rock this whole outfit, Lorena!
DeleteThe burgundy velvet blazer is so awesome. I really love it. Also, I wish I had a pair of those shoes. Believe it or not, I never heard of Fluveogs before I found your blog. I am a fan!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Robyn! Aw, start looking for them - Fluevogs are awesome!
Deletelovely color combo, I like how the colors in the shoes resemble the burgundy, grey and pale blue of your clothes, and your bracelet is stunning, love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI totally hate when my skirt goes up and around as I walk and I have to put it in place every few steps to don't show my undies! argh!
besos
Thank you! The bracelet is amazing in person - so many different stones. Ugh, "clothing creep" is the worst! I've had skirts that totally spin around and ride up.
DeleteI like this slouchy dressing down look. Velvet and denim are cool together and these shoes are the best mix of comfort and style. Go Sheila!
