It's late, I'm hungry (I'm cooking dinner while I write this), and I'm not feeling terribly verbose.
Look, an outfit!
- Cardigan - Joseph A, consignment; purchased here for $34.98
- Sweater - Ellen Tracy, swap from Caro; last seen here in April with some drape
- Skirt - Alfred Sung, vintage 80s, consignment; last worn here (2nd outfit) in July 2017 with a mermaid-inspired outfit
- Shoes - Eject; last seen here in May with Alexander McQueen trousers
Having the cardigan and shoes matching helped tie it all together, as did going with this neutral taupe-y coloured tank-style sweater underneath.
And it has pockets! I hear roofers above me.
From the back I'm nothing but chartreuse!
I didn't think I would need anything for outerwear, but as you may have noticed in the top stair picture, it was windy!
The stuff:
Green and gold bling:
- Jade ring - vintage 70s, Mom's
- Green/gold ring - consignment
- Earrings - consignment, Vancouver
- Bead/chain necklace - vintage 70s?, Mom's
- Gold chain - Grandma J's
- Bracelet - vintage 60s, Mom's
I'm going to a vintage fair tomorrow night after work, so make sure to swing by on Sunday for my bigass weekend wrap-up to see what I bought! Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
This is a fabulous colour combo, Sheila! I love the chartreuse cardi and shoes. I'm really into green lately so I love this outfit! Hope you have a great weekend! XXX
ReplyDeleteI thought of you in your green cardi from the other day, Sasha! Happy weekend to you too, my dear.
DeleteI love those sandals and how cute you look in the cap!
ReplyDeleteHave a fab weekend and hope you find loads of good stuff at the vintage fair. xxx
Thanks, Vix! I'm so glad I remembered that I had that cap. I'm excited for the vintage fair - the last time I went to this one, I found my copper belt. May the vintage gods smile upon me!
DeleteWow, what an outfit! I love those shoes. Who knew chartreuse and emerald green would looks so good together? - you obviously :) Great styling. Lise
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you, Lise, that's so sweet. I was really pleased with the combo!
Deletelovely color combo!, and obviously, we can call chartreuse a must-have, as I'm concerned! it's so fabulous that your shoes and cardi match so nicely and the green skirt is stunning!, love this outfit!
ReplyDeletebesos
I do love a good matchy pair of items, don't you? Chartreuse is practically a neutral.
DeleteI love this color combo, and it's definitely my kind of outfit! I have my blue lace skirt I'd love to try something like this with, although the long cardigans I do have aren't so similarly coloured.
ReplyDeleteYou should totally try this, Mica - do a neutral cardi and a blue top instead!
DeleteHi there. I found you on Anna's Island St blog. Love the lime of this outfit. How handy to have steps to model on:)
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you, new Anna! Thank you so much! The stairs are an external covered staircase in my condo.
DeleteI love this outfit - green really suits you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Rebecca!
DeleteRly loving all the green and especially the skirt and vintage bracelet.
ReplyDeleteThe skirt is such a favourite, such a unique piece. Thank you, hon!
DeleteWhat a lovely outfit and you know how I love green of any shade. The shoes are delightful!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely weekend.
Thanks, Vronni! Happy weekend to you!
DeleteSmashing outfit, color and fit!
ReplyDeleteSitting in Seattle airport awaiting flight home to NY. By the way, we returned to Beacon Hill Park yet again; Robin said it was a definite highlight of Victoria. Fred and I have been inspired (thank you :)) to check out a consignment shop three towns north of us where I think we may find some interesting pieces.
Have a grand time at the Vintage fair. I hope you have some good finds!
Cheers,
Laurie.
Thank you so much, Laurie! I hope you had a good flight. So glad you enjoyed Beacon Hill Park so much! Oh, and turning people on to the benefits of consignment shopping is the best - I hope you find lots of treasures!
DeleteLOOK ! Another fabulous outfit. Loving this artistic and rich combo of chartreuse and green with grey. The lace pattern is exquisite, and the strappy shoes are beyond. They are comfy too, lucky you!
ReplyDeleteWear green, be seen ! Love the loads of green jewelry too.
Now eat something and enjoy the weekend!
❤️❤️❤️

Thanks so much, Elle! I had fun with this outfit. Happy weekend!
DeleteOh a vintage fair sounds amaaazing !
ReplyDeleteI adore that long cardigan, what a marvellous piece and the addition of the cap is unexpected but so COOL.
It was really fun. Thank you!
DeleteI used to love wearing chartreuse when I had red hair, but I find it doesn't look so good with grey. I have a pair of black and white shoes by Eject that have the same type of heel; they look so damn cool but they are too narrow across the front for my bunions and too high to be worn for very long....sigh
ReplyDeleteOh, that sucks - I'll eventually be all grey, and I wonder how the colour will be for me then? Bummer about your Eject shoes!
