We have our VP in the office today and tomorrow, so I am classing it up - with that little bit of "Sheila" flair, of course.
All classy in a red suede jacket and grey pants, with some nice stripey business going on. Nothing unusual here.- Jacket - Holt Renfrew, vintage, thrifted; last seen here with the matching skirt in April
- Top - Cleo, thrifted; last worn here (3rd outfit) for shopping in August
- Trousers - Linda Lundstrom, Hazel's via Caro; last worn here in February with pink suede
- Shoes - Poetic Licence; last seen here almost exactly a year ago, here in December 2017, with these pants!
- Coat (below) - Danier Leather; last worn here in November
I had lots of compliments on the red jacket. It is part of a suit, including this skirt I wore last Friday - can you believe I thrifted both pieces separately, weeks apart? Such luck!
The little stripey top is just a simple piece, but I liked how it went with the shoes.
Still all classy, but have you noticed how...voluminous...the pants are?
Those are quite the wide legs. You could say that these pants are of unusual size, in fact!
They have seams down the front and they an odd round cut that is tapered to the ankle.
They are high-waisted too - and they have pockets!
Outerwear - leather weather!
I can't wear a hat when I clip my hair up at the back, so I had to carry my brolly. Walking home, it was far too windy for either. Gack! Weather!
- Umbrella - Cheeky
- Fur boa - thrifted
- Gloves - Cejon, thrifted
The stuff:
One of my favourite pairs of shoes, ever! Full of very versatile colours.
Blue bling:
The stripe in the sweater reads as very dark blue, plus there's a tiny bit of blue in the shoes. Why not do blue accessories?
- Lapis lazuli ring - Wendy Brandes
- Earrings - thrifted
Love your penultimate pose! Walk like an Egyptian...
ReplyDeleteHeh, you got it! That was in my head!
DeleteWhat a fantastic shape those trousers are! Love the jacket and the spivvy shoes, too! xxx
ReplyDeleteAren't they just so weirdly delicious? Thanks, Vix!
DeleteI love this outfit. My work trousers are all of the straight leg variety. I must try to find some some like yours for a change
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rebecca! I'm so tired of skinny pants. I am looking for weird!
DeleteThose pants are such a fun shape, and I love how you always manage to include something in an outfit to make it true to you - perfectly professional but with a fun feature that shows how stylish you are! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Mica! That's the goal I strive for!
DeleteNot sure how many other people could wear them with such success! ❤️
ReplyDeleteThey have taken me some time to warm up to them! You may be right, Rebecca!
DeleteThose pants are indeed unusual but what a great cut. Very different.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Gail!
DeleteYou're certainly looking the part in this outfit, Sheila. Very Classy with a C! Those trousers are very unusual, and I'm not just talking about their size. Plus, they do look fabulous with the stripey top and red suede jacket. A triumph! xxx
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you, Ann! They are definitely outside of my comfort zone.
DeleteHello Sailor!
ReplyDeleteFab pants and love the nautical stripes with them.
Ahoy, Vronni! Thank you, m'dear!
DeleteThose are my very favourite type of trousers! BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteHeh, weird, aren't they, Kezzie? They are right up my alley.
DeleteThese are fabulous trousers and I love the wide legs. Definitely some “Sheila styling” going on. That is quite a remarkable coincidence finding both pieces of this suit separately! I love the stripes and fun proportions of this outfit.
ReplyDeleteYummy red suede !
❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much, Elle! I know, I shouted in the middle of the thrift store when I found the second piece.
Delete|Love the Princess Bride reference -- and such a classy but Sheila outfit!
ReplyDeleteGood job, Cynthia! That's my favourite movie. Thank you!
DeleteVery classy! And what a coincedance to find those two pieces apart from each other!
ReplyDeleteI know, right, Nancy? I think they must have been in separate bags, that got sorted at different times, but same donor.
DeleteTotally loving those voluminous trousers my dear. I like finding these slightly odd garments - they suit our slightly quirky style don't you think?
ReplyDeleteThey really do, right, Anna? You and I are drawn to the odd stuff.
DeleteLove the suede jacket- how lucky of you to have found the matching skirt! X
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jess! I know, what a score, eh?
DeleteI am delighted to see you wear those trousers so marvelously well ! It's actually inspired me to maybe so my own version of this look, although I fear the rust color corduroy blazer might not fit.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a while to warm up to these, but I'm a fan now! Try the outfit on first!
