Another day, another day closer to a long weekend, another day of feeling less sick. I've been sick for over a week (I'm in the tail end of Week Two of Sickitude) and I feel I've been very restrained about whining about it, aside from yesterday's post. Considering I had to go to the periodontist, I feel justified.
No whining today, though! The weekend is in sight - this calls for pajamas. Well, my version of 'em.- Jacket - H&M, consignment; purchased here for $22.00
- Sleeveless sweater - Gap, thrifted; last worn here in July with a long sweater
- Pants - Tara Jarmon, consignment; last seen here (2nd outfit) in April during Ally's visit
- Shoes - Effortless Vivian, Fluevog; last worn here in June with pinks (and a salamander)
The jacket has a very pajama-y shape to it. I mostly wore it with the sleeves shoved up, all casual-like.
Not including my hand stuffed inelegantly into the very small pocket. It was lovely to wear - I had many fans of this outfit today.
I loved the pattern mix of my polka dot pants with it.
They're practically a neutral!
Done up - a very pajama shape.
I wore it like this when I was walking to work.
The stuff:
Throwing a whole 'nother colour into the mix with baby blue. The white helps it all hang together. They're the shoes of harmony.
Minimal bling:
When you have this much colour and pattern, you don't need a lot of accessories.
- Earrings - vintage 60s?, vintage fair
On my lunch break today, I browsed in the Cobbler shoe store, a shop I've frequented since the mid-80s when I was in high school. I may have found something...
I loved these black leather shoe-booties (shooties?). They are butter soft!
I love all the semi-gladitorial gewgaws, and the mesh insert.
A rockin' lug sole is good for gripping, and the wedge heel doesn't even feel like a heel at all. I can walk to and from town in these!
They're by Sorel, famous maker of winter boots. I'm picturing tights and a short skirt with these.
And only $69! What a deal! L took one look at them and said, "Yup, those are horrible booties." The man has no taste, ha ha!
I will be back on Monday with my Bigass Long Weekend Wrap-up! Have a wonderful weekend, my friends!
Those booties are AWESOME! My husband would have the same reaction as yours :) And I laughed so hard when you said those pants are practically a neutral! Love them with that jacket.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Ha, men, they just don't know good shoes. What, polka dots aren't neutral? Thank you, Cynthia!
DeleteLololol at L!!!! I love that jacket. Super fun print and pajama shape. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteHe's so funny! Thanks, hon!
DeleteI am looking forward to seeing how you wear those boots! that is a great colour and pattern mix in your outfit too! :) I hope that you are feeling better and you get to relax and recover a bit this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm super-excited about them - they are SO comfy. Thanks, Mica! I really liked it. Feeling it already - weekend's here!
DeleteIf it were possible, I'd have surgery to make my feet smaller so I could borrow your shoes. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll take that for the covetousness of the shoes!
DeleteThose shooties are BAD ASS! Hoping you have a great long weekend and kick this sickness' but to the curb once and for all. Kailani's comment: Sheila is wearing pajamas to work? In her over the top actress voice.
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you, darlin'! I'm about to start that right now! LOL, nope, Kailani, these are Real Clothes, darlin'.
DeleteIf this is your version of pajamas, I want to wear pajamas every day, all day! What an absolutely fun outfit! It makes me happy just looking at it. And yes, I can totally see a short skirt with those booties, too. Have a great weekend, Sheila! xxx
ReplyDeleteI would wear real pajamas like this (if I wore pajamas!). Thank you so much, Ann! It was a lot of fun to wear. Happy weekend!
DeleteFabulous colours in that outfit and I love those booties (my partner and I call footwear like that sh’boots but I might start using shooties!)
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you so much, Jo. L calls them "shubooties" - whatever works for you!
DeleteI love how this is your version of pyjamas! if I go for a casual pyjama look I end up with something absolutely no where as near to how awesome this is. the colours are gorgeous and you look stunning - in all honesty I could 100% see you becoming my style icon. hope you feel better soon!

Thanks so much Amy! Such kind words!
DeleteSheila, this outfit is so fun! It's sending me energy through the screen so I know it's probably responsible for helping you heal up! Ha ha!
ReplyDeleteYour new shooties look like fun for clomping around in! I love the straps around your foot!
Thank you, Mel-Bee! I'm sure your good vibes helped! I'm excited to wear my new booties, and you will be seeing them very soon!
DeleteOooh, that outfit is so utterly pleasing to look at! The garments go SOOOOO nicely with each other!!!! Very, very cool!x
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kezzie! I was really pleased with it.
DeleteYou know I love a gladiator style shoe!
ReplyDeleteNot to mention a nice wedge! Thanks, Wendy!
DeleteWhat an unexpected yet kick ass pattern combination, oh this is so inspiring. I am wondering if I can pull something like this off.
ReplyDeleteWell, duh, of course you can! Do it, Lorena! :)
DeleteThis is one of my favorite comfy&cool outfits ever, mwhaha, I do love a pajama like outfit! Your jacket is a stunning piece and it looks even better with the polka dots and baby blue shoes!, shockingly fabulous color combo!
ReplyDeletebesos
Thank you! I really liked this outfit too!
DeleteI would have bought those shoes too! Your outfit is cute and looks very comfortable. Just the thing when you're not feeling your best. Sorry to hear you were sick.
ReplyDeleteThank you! All better now!
