I had several people tell me I looked like a Christmas present today.
- Sweater - Tatyana, thrifted; last seen here (4th outfit) in September at the end of a rock & roll weekend
- Skirt - Roland Kerry, vintage 80s, consignment; last worn here in December 2017 with this same sweater!
- Shoes - Half Truth Tanya, Fluevog; last seen here in July with a bold striped dress
- Coat (below) - Danier Leather; last worn here in November
As we roll into the holiday season, I grab for my once-a-year skirts. This one's a doozy, isn't it? Plaid taffeta!
I wore a full vintage slip under this.
I received Floor Warden training all morning today, then cleared our group out later in the afternoon in a building-wide fire drill. I barely got any work done.
Outerwear - it was spitting rain off and on all day, but fortunately, it held off during the fire drill.
- Fur hat/scarf/leather gloves - Danier Leather
The stuff:
Seasonal bling:
- Cuff - Rimanchik
- Earrings - vintage fair
Here's a close-up of the earrings.
Last night, I hosted Book Club, so had put out my lovely quilted table runner that my mom made. This morning, I found this:

Love the colours in your outfit. What other once-a-year skirts do you wear? X
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jess! Oh, you will be seeing them! I have a bunch! :)
DeleteLovely color combo and lovely skirt!, its texture and shine are amazing and I love that print!. And you look particularly adorable in your Green shoes!.
ReplyDeleteObviously those earrings are fabulous, lovely close-up picture which shows your own fabulousness too!. Love your glasses.
besos
Thanks, Monica! It's such a pretty skirt, isn't it?
DeleteGreen does work so well with that skirt, it's such a pretty piece Sheila! I really like your green earrings too. Reminds me I need to wear my a-line pleated skirts again! They are good for summer as they are quite light fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mica! I heard that pleated skirt are a "thing" again - I'd love to see yours!
DeleteLovely skirt. I would never have paired it with green 'cause I lack your insight. It works!
ReplyDeleteIt's not quite the same green as in the skirt (that's a bit more turquoise-y), but close enough! It just has to "go", not match. :)
DeleteYou look so pretty with the earrings and red lippy!!! Gem-tone taffeta is so satisfying. I have a lot of red and green clothing and I get a little elvy looking at holiday time.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Becky - oh, it really is satisfying! Good for the soul. :)
DeleteI also go full elf this time of year, ha ha!
How gorgeous is that taffeta plaid skirt! It's a shame to keep it for the holiday season, though. You could wear it any time of the year, so many colours to choose from to combine it with. Love it with the green, though. The earrings are spectacular! Oh, Vizzini! Phoebe would have done that too. She basically sits/lies on anything you leave out on the table. You should try reading a newspaper with her around ... Have a fab weekend, Sheila! xxx
ReplyDeleteI used to wear it year-round, Ann, but it always felt very Christmassy, both in the look and the fabric. It's too hot to wear in warm weather, that's for sure.
DeleteVizzini rarely does this sort of thing (he knows where he is NOT ALLOWED). I think he's smelling our previous cat on it, his buddy Inigo.
Happy weekend, my dear!
How fabulous you look in green! That skirt is gorgeous and the earrings are amazing.
ReplyDeleteNaughty Vizzini - they seek out the newest or most precious things, don't they? You should see the look I get when I dare to sit on my new chair, you'd think it was a cat chair! xxxx
Aw, thank you, Vix! Ha, they really do - he was very possessive about the new couch for about a week, and he was acting territorial when someone was using "his" chair. Cats!
DeleteLooking fabulous, Sheila. I just love those earrings!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vronni!
DeleteWell, the Cats are the Boss in house! At least on our house!😂😂 Fantastic earrings, what a stunning color! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteWe try not to let Vizzini be the boss in our house, ha! Sometimes we succeed.
DeleteThanks, Nancy!
Loved "the face of not really caring"! Oh, and the colorful combo, too...
ReplyDeleteWe all need that face, Rebecca! Thank you!
DeleteAh, never predictable Sheila ! Love the taffeta plaid amd green sweater, thematic but not formulaic. Gorgeous double strapped may janes. Love the headband, but do not see you wearing it. Not a Sheila look, IMHO.
ReplyDeleteGreen cabochan earrings—- to die for !
❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for the kind comment, Elle! No, the headband is really not me!
DeleteOh I'd wear this in a heart beat !!! What a happy and colorful look. Of the sound of taffetta....
ReplyDeleteThe earrings are a superb accessory.
It's a very "you" outfit! Thanks, hon!
