Today's outfit was all about the textures.
- Mohair sweater - thrifted; purchased here for $24.99
- Skirt - Ports 1961, thrifted; purchased here for $16.95
- Shoes - Sencha Teapot, Fluevog; last seen here in November 2017 with woolly red
- Coat (below) - Stop Staring!, thrifted; last worn here in April
Another bonus - my Castle view this morning.
Such gorgeous morning light. Very cold, though.
I love the bubblegum pink of this mohair sweater. It was snuggly to wear without being too hot. It breathed well.
I swooshed about magnificently in this silk skirt all day. What a lovely, tactile piece it is to wear.
It has lovely movement.
Outerwear - I was freezing this morning. Time for my new-to-me toque! I did not need it, or the gloves, by the end of the day.
- Toque - vintage 70s, thrifted for $9.95, first wear
- Gloves - Parkhurst.
I don't know what happened to my burgundy fingerless gloves, but I need that colour. Grey will just not do!
The stuff:
Black bling:
- Belt - Gap, consignment
- Chain metal bracelet - thrifted
- Hematite necklace, ring and bracelets - various vintage fairs and thrifted
- Hematite earrings - gift from Mom
Vizzini came around for cuddles this morning while I was getting ready. We sat and had a snuggle on the gold chair, then I slid him off so I wouldn't be late.

I can never resist one more pat or one more cuddle.
I will be back on Sunday with my Bigass Weekend Wrap-Up - have a wonderful weekend, my friends!
You do textures so well Sheila! I could almost reach out to stroke that gorgeous mohair sweater (or jumper as we say here, why I have no idea!).
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Gail! The sweater was really soft to wear.
DeleteIsn't the morning light gorgeous at this time of year? Well, if the sun is shining, that is ... The bubblegum pink jumper and swooshy silk skirt are a perfect match, and I love all the cherry red accessorizing too. Your fabulous grey coat, combined with the cherry red shoes and toque is a fantastic combo. Have a wonderful weekend, Sheila! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt is, I love it, Ann! Especially when the sun is shining. Thanks so much for all your kind words - hope you had a fab weekend!
DeleteYour dress is absolute fabulous! My oh my, how I love the design! Have a great weekend love.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nancy! You too!
DeleteI like the pink and red together, and this is such a nice mix of textures, but your skirt is the star of this outfit and the pieces really let it shine !It's beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mica! I agree, the skirt was a great find.
DeleteOoh... aah... another valuable lesson from the Master. Switching gears, lately I've been pondering (with great admiration) your secret room/magic door and wondering how I can get/make one of those. It's hugely attractive to me.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, was there a lesson in here? Thanks, Ally! You need to start asking around woodworking shops!
DeleteSwooshing about magnificently all day could be an ultimate life goal!
ReplyDeleteLove the mohair sweater but get itching just thinking about ti!
That skirt, with pockets!
Yes!

It's definitely a daily goal, Elle! The mohair was surprisingly NOT itchy, believe it or not!
DeleteLook at Vizzini jealously guarding that armchair!
ReplyDeleteLoving your classy mix of textures and colours. It should be you living in that castle! xxx
Yes, it's very much "his" chair, ha! Aw, thanks, Vix! The Castle is amazing inside. I should go some time and take pictures.
Deletefabulous mixed textures and colors, and fabulous layering! you look adorable wearing it!. I thought that the skirt was made of leather, it's amazing! and the pink sweater looks so soft and cute! and the grey dress-coat is so fabulous!
ReplyDeletebesos
Thanks so much, Monica! I know, the skirt fooled me until I looked at the content tag. Thank you!
DeleteI hate to break it to you She, but I think Vizzini might be possessed ;)
ReplyDeleteThe textures you are wearing are not only genius the topper was like that perfect cherry on the pie.
Oh, he definitely is! Spooky kitty!
DeleteAw, thank you! I liked this outfit.
