I'm just returned from working my double-shift (job #1, followed by job #2), and going for pizza with L afterwards. I'm tired and full of pizza and the couch calls.
- Blazer - Brooks Brothers, thrifted; last worn here in January with the same shoes and a tiger
- Silk blouse - Kate Spade, thrifted; purchased here for $24.95
- Skirt - J. Crew, thrifted; purchased here for $19.95
- Shoes - Big Presence Earhart, Fluevog; last seen here in January with this same blazer
- Coat (below) - Auckie Sanft, vintage 50s, thrifted; purchased here at the vintage fair a week ago for $49.95
My internal furnace was stoked as well. I spent the day with the jacket off...and on...and off...and on...
I was very bright - I warned people at work by hollering, "Put your sunglasses on!" As one is wont to do in an office. Heh heh.
Jacket on! When I wore it, it was open like this.
I liked how the muted tone of the jacket reined in all the bright yellow.
Done up and looking kickass (if I do say so myself).
Someone was lurking around while I took pictures - he didn't get close enough to actually be in the backgrounds, though.

Dang, my butt looks good in that skirt.
Outerwear - the debut of the Fuzzy Flamingo! I showed this off to many of my colleagues.
No accoutrements needed today. The pockets are half wool and half acetate lining; very soft and snuggly.
The stuff:
Gold bling:
- Necklace - Givenchy, vintage 80s, vintage fair
- Earrings - thrifted
Happy almost-weekend from me and the Vizzmeister.

I'll be back on Sunday with tales of adventure. Thanks for reading, my friends.
I'm in love with the entire outfit! If this outfit doesn't chase away winter blahs, nothing will. Love it and the new coat. The colours pop and are great together.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Dar! I loved all the colours - I felt like candy!
DeleteThis is so cheerful and spring-like! I really like the two shades of yellow together. I was admiring a mustard top today in store but sadly they didn't have my size. I'd like to have more yellow in my wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mica! I love yellow - I am always on the lookout for more yellow.
DeleteI love your pointy shoes, Shiela!
ReplyDeleteI bought my first pair of pointy boots recently and I'm a bit hesitant about them, but your shoes have convinced me that they're a great shape. X
Pointy toes are my favourite shoe shape, Jess - if you're not visually used to them, they can seem odd, thought. They are very flattering, and make one's legs look long.
DeleteLove this outfit! Your hair and the jacket match too :) Lise
ReplyDeleteThey do! I had a few comments on that, Lise. Thank you!
DeleteI love this outfit. Especially how the flecks of lavender in the yellow tweed skirt echo the jacket and the amazing shoes.
ReplyDeleteThe fuzzy flamingo looks wonderful on you. You look like a proper lady; you know the type with matching gloves, hat and handbag - very 1950s, so cool.
Have a fab weekend!
Thank you so much, Vronni! I was just so pleased at how it all came together.
DeleteIsn't she lovely? Oh, yes, I'm sure she was worn that way in the 50s!
You too, my dear!
I like this outfit. The bright colors are pleasing.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I totally concur. ;-P
DeleteI want to wear this marvelous outfit and cuddle myself in the flamingo coat which screams lux.
ReplyDeletewe both wore yellow and pink in search of the springy look :)
Thank you, Lorena! Ha, I can imagine you and I fighting over the coat. I love pink and yellow together - such a happy combo.
DeleteConfetti reigns with the coming of spring! The entire outfit is expertly curated and I quite like how the pieces (coat and shoes included) complement one another and complement you!
ReplyDeleteYes! The skirt is really confetti-like, isn't it, Laurie? Thank you so much!
DeleteI sped right through the other pictures (something I never do) to that coat. It is beautiful! I was intrigued when you bought it, because you don't see coats like that anymore and for such a great price. I wanted to see it on you and it is gorgeous! Your whole outfit is really lovely.
ReplyDeleteHa! I had a feeling that would happen, Pam - I nearly led with the Fuzzy Flamingo picture! It's such an amazing garment. Thank you!
DeleteYou're a vision of Spring in this outfit, Sheila! The skirt and frilly top seem to be made for each other, and I love how you managed to rein in all the yellow with that marvellous jacket. The shoes are perfect with it too. But the Fuzzy Flamingo is the real star here. I didn't need proof of its fabulousness, but it actually does look even more fabulous on. Expect lots more petting in years to come! Have an awesome weekend, Sheila! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ann! I really felt springy, and it was even brighter in person. I know, isn't the FF amazing? Wait till I give it a casual styling! Happy weekend, my dear!
DeleteI am just in love with the Celtic. The muted lavender is such an unexpected and lovely combination with the neon green. And that tweed skirt is gorgeous. Or is it type a bouclé? I don’t know how you manage to do two jobs and keep up this fashion blog. You are such a source of inspiration and I love your creative energy. I’m glad you enjoyed the pizza too. LOL.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course the requisite applause for the fuzzy flamingo.
❤️❤️❤️

Thank you, Elle! The blouse is more of a neon yellow than green, but I see it. It's a woven tweed, with some boucle. It's a lot of work overall, but always worth it - I try not to spend too much time blogging (hence the often crappy pictures, ha!). Aw, that is so sweet.
DeleteThis is such a lovely outfit you look gorgeous and very spring like. The coat is amazing, love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lynette!
DeleteI'm loving the looks of the ruffled neon yellow Kate Spade blouse (both with and without the attractive blazer) paired with that pretty yellow tweed skirt! You look fabulous modelling it.

Thank you, sweetie!
DeleteLOVE this entire outfit (including flamingo coat). It's a 15 out of 10!
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's high praise, Gerrilyn, thank you!
DeleteWow, that coat is amazing! What a fabulous vintage treasure! And your spring look is so cheerfull! Enjoy your Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Nancy!
DeleteThat coat is wonderful, it looked good on the hanger but absolutely fantastic on. I love that you're wearing it with yellow, too. xxx
ReplyDeleteHow could I not wear yellow and pink together? Thanks so much, Vix!
DeleteWHAT GORGEOUS SPRING COLORS!!! love!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Holly!
DeleteWhat a fabulous color combo!, and those shoes totally rock and enhance the whole outfit!. And the coat is a stunning piece, it is such a lovely color and fits you so nicely!
ReplyDeletebesos
I LOVED this outfit - it's one of my very favourites. Thank you!
DeleteGreat. especially the shoes.
ReplyDeleteGreetje
I was really proud of coming up with those shoes with it - thanks, Greetje!
DeleteYou look like Spring personified! That pink coat is sooooo pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shelley! I know, I LOVE that coat. I hope I get to wear it at least a couple more times before it's too warm.
DeleteTotally fabulous outfit my dear one! Great colour play, sexy butt, lovely, lovely shoes - very well done - full marks x
ReplyDeleteIt was even better (and brighter) in person! Thank you, Anna!
