Today was a dress-up day! I'm a grown up!
- Blazer - Jacob, thrifted; last seen here in December 2018 in my west-coast cowgirl look
- Skirt - Marc Jacobs, thrifted; last worn here in August 2018 in a discombobulated look
- Shoes - Channi B; last seen here earlier this month for a trip to the dentist
- Coat (below) - Stop Staring!, thrifted; last worn here at the same time as the shoes
I'm probably more colourful (and sparklier) than than your average bear, though.
I just wore a black camisole under this, nothing fancy, not tracked.
Action shot!
Outerwear - brrr, bundled up for the chill. Now it feels like January...just in time for February!
- Fur boa - thrifted
- Gloves - Cejon, thrifted
The stuff:
Glittery bling:
- Cuff - Swarovski, consignment, gift from L
- Necklace/earrings - Sherman, vintage 60s, thrifted
- Brooch - vintage fair
- Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes
I like to wear my sparkly stuff on a daily basis - why save it? Lovely things need to be worn!
I have one very busy weekend ahead, my friends, and I will be back on Sunday to tell y'all about it!
Lovely! The jacket is beautiful, the swooshy skirt, fabulous shoes, but the best part is the glamourous bling! Love seeing vintage sparkly goodness and Sherman to boot! I have a small Sherman collection and wear a brooch just about every day. I love the nostalgia of vintage bling, it would have been saved for special occasions and I can imagine the wearer getting all gussied up and adding the bling with a cocktail dress, heels, and perhaps gloves, hat and heels. Those were heady days of fashion. You look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAs a close friend of both of you, it warms my heart to see the two of you interacting online. I hope you continue and deepen your friendship.
DeleteDar, thank you! I was talking to a woman at work last night about not saving your "special" things, that you need to wear them and love them. I can totally imagine the original owner all dolled up like that. Thank you so much!
DeleteAlly, that's so sweet of you. :) Dar and I should meet up again soon.
DeleteYes lets! I wish Ally was here as well, oh how much fun we would have!
DeleteLove the sparkly accessories with this Sheila and it is a lovely mix of texture with your velvet and pleated outfit too! You always look perfectly pulled together!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Mica! Aw, that's really nice, thank you.
DeleteVery classy. You're a dangerous fashion threat -- you can look good for any occasion!
ReplyDeleteHa! I try! Thanks, Ally!
DeleteThe first thing that struck me was all the bling! A fabulously classy outfit with gorgeous accessories. That coat is so elegant; I covet it!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
I love my bling! Thank you, Vronni. I love the jacket too - such a great colour. Happy weekend to you!
DeleteI never realized teal and grey worked so well together. Obviously, by rights, that teal velvet jacket should be mine ;-) Love the twirly pleated skirt and don't even get me started on those fabulous shoes. Classy, indeed, and sparkly too! Have a fantastic weekend, Sheila! xxx
ReplyDeleteI love grey with any vibrant colour. Ha, hands off, Ann! Wishing you a fab weekend right back.
DeleteThis is such a fabulous outfit love it all, classy all the way.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lynette!
DeleteWhat a beautiful warm colour! I never wear this colour though, don't know why not. Perhaps their isn't many clothing in this colour. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Nancy - I love rich shades like this. Happy weekend to you!
DeleteFun seeing you classic. But the shoes give away you are not really haha.
ReplyDeleteGreetje
You know it - I am really not this classy, ha ha!
DeleteI definitely would have come and stroked your jacket!!! It's gorgeous! I had one in similar material but it was more casual-loooking and scruffy and I got rid of it which I regret!!! The whole outfit is utterly divine!!! I really, really love it. x
ReplyDeleteHee hee! I love the structure on this jacket. Thanks so much, Kezzie!
DeleteLovely swooshing of you in that skirt Sheila! The jacket would be great on me too, just in case you needed to know ... Lovely to see you again x
ReplyDeleteHa ha, paws off, Anna, my dear! Thank you!
DeleteYou are so classy and gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI agree, why not enjoy your special jewellery on a daily basis. X
Thanks so much, Jess! I totally agree - it's meant to be worn!
DeleteOh Sheila, this is such a beautiful outfit! The colours are so chic together, and the combination of plush velvet and pleated silk is scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Shelley! I felt lovely all day in it.
Deletewoww, you look fabulously elegant with a retro vibe which I love!, the jacket is stunning and fits you like a dream, the skirt is so luxurious and lovely and the accessorizing is so brilliant (ha!), love everything!
ReplyDeletebesos
My new coworker was still a little "whoa!" when he met me - most people don't dress like this! I loved this outfit too. Thank you!
DeleteOh, I am sure he was very impressed- you look so polished. The colors, the cut, movement and the textures here.. I would have probably asked if I could touch the blazer.
ReplyDeleteHe was surprised - I guess not many people he encounters dress like me, ha ha! Yes, and I would have let you pet it. :)
