Pencil Skirt and Kermit Shoes

I'm a major fan of pencil skirts. I've worn them for decades, and have had some wonderful ones come in and out of my life. 

 Will this be one of them? I don't know - only time will tell.

• Cashmere sweater - Lord & Taylor, thrifted; last seen here in July 2017 with a bad scuba skirt
• Skirt - Baraschi, consignment; purchased here for $10.00
• Shoes - Poetic Licence; last worn here in November 2016 with bronze and velvet
• Linen jacket (below) - Club Monaco, thrifted; purchased here for $13.50

This cashmere sweater is more like a t-shirt (in my last look, it's untucked), so I have to wear a camisole under it, as it's nearly see-through.

First wearing of this skirt - and I really liked it. Pencil skirts are a really good cut for me - this one was hugely comfortable (it has just a titch of stretch). I like how the floral design hugs the sides, and it's a polka-dot starry night in the middle.

You know how I feel about pattern that carries around to the back.

 There are so many colours in this skirt, that everything goes with it...and nothing goes with it. There is no peach or coral in it to match the top - but there's red and orange, so close enough. And there is no bright green, but there is aqua and olive, so kind of in the middle. A good example of "it doesn't have to match; it has to go."

Outerwear - as suspected, this linen-blend jacket is awesome in the bright sun. I had ink coverage without feeling swamped.

"I think I should go in the hallway."

 I wore this jacket only when I was outside. I felt very chic.

"This door must open somehow!"

 I like the idea of it worn slouchy and casual too.

"Can't...quite...reach..."

I didn't know Vizzini was there until I saw the pictures. Silly kitty.

The stuff:

 These shoes are my beloved "Kermit" shoes, so called because they are fuzzy in texture (those dots are all raised). I bought them in late December 2011 and first wore them here in January. Aw, there's our old kitty Inigo.

I am SHOCKED that I haven't worn them in a year and a half! They are only out from April to September, but that means I didn't wear them at all in 2017. They aren't that high, and they're about a B+ on the comfort scale - I walked to lunch with my boss and was on my feet for hours in them at my WW meeting. I tend to see them as super-dressy, so I pass over them as an everyday shoe. Interesting...I will have to try to wear them more this spring and see if I can get past that. I'm not ready to give these up, that's for sure! They are too cool.

Blue and green bling:

I liked the solidness of all the shapes.

• Necklace - vintage, thrifted
• Earrings - thrifted
• Cuff - thrifted
• Lapis lazuli ring and Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes

My friends, I will be back on Sunday with a bigass weekend wrap-up. And since it's Star Wars Day tomorrow, May the 4th be with you! Guess what I'll be wearing! A very happy weekend to you all.
