I built today's outfit around this cashmere skirt - it's got an elastic waistband, so it needs something to cover that. Enter the giraffe sweater.
I love the bold print of this sweater, but discovered a couple of wee moth-holes wearing it today. Adieu, giraffe sweater!- Sweater - Rino Rossi, vintage, thrifted; last seen here in my last outfit of 2017, in late December 2017
- Skirt - John Laing for N. Peal, vintage, vintage fair; purchased here for $23.95
- Shoes - Celestial Communication Andromeda, Fluevog; last worn here in February with ginormous pants
- Coat (below) - Kimchi Blue; last seen here in October
The weather has finally turned, it seems. Cold, rainy, bits of wind here and there. Yuck.
On the plus side, I did not die of overheating in wool and cashmere today - and that is one thick and warm skirt. I wore a full vintage nylon slip under this for extra smoothing.
Such a lovely skirt! I love the bright red and wore bright red lipstick to match.
I felt like I was cheating - this felt like pajamas - but it really is a work outfit!
Outerwear - I got a little wacky.
Yeti time! Hee hee! I was plenty warm.
- Velvet gloves - Cejon, thrifted; purchased here for $4.95
The stuff:
I spent a lot of time running around at work today, so these heels were maybe not the best choice, but I did enjoy wearing them again. That's a 3D-printed heel.
Silver bling:
All real silver, no cheapies here.
- Earrings - Brenda Schoenfeld, 1992, vintage mall
- Ring - Soul Flower
And with that...Monday's over!
Those earrings are to die for!
ReplyDeleteAren't they amazing, Lynette? They are sterling silver too!
DeleteYou couldn't have chosen a more perfect top with that red skirt - fabulous! x
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you, Vix!
DeleteIt's a shame that top is leaving as it is so fun and a nice addition with the red skirt! At least it got a wonderful final wear :)
ReplyDeleteI will miss it, but not all that much. Thank you, Mica!
Deletesorry that the top had to go, but it made a last stellar appearance!. Love the bold print with the red skirt, love your shoes and the yeti jacket! lots of textures and fun!
ReplyDeleteLovely earrings too!
besos
Not everything lasts, eh, Monica? Thank you so much!
DeleteWhat a shame about the tiny moth holes, as I think the giraffe sweater and red skirt are a perfect match! And it's even more fabulous with the yeti jacket. That is one very funky outfit! Love the earrings too, they make me wish I had pierced ears. xxx
ReplyDeleteI know, I was sad about that - however, the sweater was on the fence for me last year, so this cemented it. Thank you so much, Ann! These are clip-on earrings!!
DeleteWhat a fab skirt and such a shame about the jumper and the moth holes. The jumper looks so good with the skirt. Another reason to go rummaging for a replacement...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vronni! I know, but that is the way of wool sweater. I will definitely be looking for a replacement!
DeleteWhat a perfect 1930 s look jacket! So chique!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nancy!
DeleteLove the sweater! Too bad about the moth balls. What are 3d printed heels? Sounds out of this world! X
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jess! Fluevog used a 3D printer to make these heels. They are not moulded. Cool, eh?
DeleteGreat styling Sheila, although it's very sad that the sweater has to go - it's a classy piece. The skirt is a great fit sweetie, shows off your assets perfectly!
ReplyDeleteAnna x
Thank you, Anna! I know, I am sad too, but that's okay - I have a lot of sweaters.
DeleteThe outfit topped with the YETI is fantastic - I'm so sorry the sweater has to go! The print is fab, and it looks amazing with the red knit skirt.
ReplyDeleteI know, it was sad to let it go...things wear out, though. :(
DeleteLooking good my friend !
ReplyDeleteI just want to touch that skirt...
Thanks, sweetie!
