I'm very fond of graphic and bold patterns. I bought this top last year and love the circles. It's almost like lace.

I wore a red tank top under this top for extra warmth - it's supposed to be chilly all week.

First wearing of these new-to-me wool, fully-lined trousers, and they were wonderful. I like that big windowpane plaid. Squares!
And the pockets!

Yeah, it's a Monday. Bring on the long weekend (although I don't get Monday off).

Loving your floral abundance raincoat! That red top is lovely, it does look like lace only far more interesting. Boo to not having Monday off and your cold weather. Apparently ours is set to get warmer by the end of the week - I shan't hold my breath! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vix! It is a really cool top - a lucky find! I hope it gets nicer for the long weekend!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous top, Sheila, and I love that you've accentuated the circles by wearing the circle pendant and earrings. And what to wear with circles? Well, squares of course! And flowers! Oh, that coat makes my heart sing! Sorry to hear about your cold weather. We've been having cold nights and mornings, but warming up during the day, so not too bad ... xxx
ReplyDeleteI do like my geometric shapes, Ann - and my flowers! Spring is just all over the place, weather-wise. I should be used to it by now.
DeleteFabulous combination. And those shoes are magical
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nancy!
DeleteWonderful outfit! Love the red top and the beautiful floral coat adds a big dose of mental sunshine for sure!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Chalotalo! Mental sunshine - perfect description. :)
DeleteIt's a shame you're not fully loving the shoes as they look so cute! I love the red and grey together too, they are fantastic pants on you!
ReplyDeleteI think it's more of just getting used to wearing this style - it's very different for me and feels very casual. Thanks, Mica!
DeletePretty top. I also like mixing my new purchases with old items in my closet. My wardrobe collection is big enough that I can usually find suitable pieces. This combination you put together is nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Oh, the joys of a big wardrobe.
DeleteYou're so good at taking time to make up new outfits - I really need to follow your example. I did in fact spend half an hour last evening trying clothes on in an effort to find something a bit different to wear for the exhibition this weekend which was worth it though. Anyway, hurrah for your circle top, it's funky and I love the check trousers too. The floral trench always takes my breath away - I totally adore it!
ReplyDeleteI always regret when I don't do it, because they are usually my best outfits - it's always worth it! Thank you, my ears! I love that coat.
DeleteWeird typo - that should say "dear" not "ears"!
DeleteMe too ! I can get lost in my closet but I have to be in the mood. I like to be alone and just mix, match, try things on... and put outfits together down to the accessories.
ReplyDeleteI love the red on one end and the satin blue on the other.
Oh yes, I really have to be in the mood for it too. Some nights, I'm just, "Nah." Thank you!
