Ah, my friends, the weekend is in sight. Today was a busy day and a long day, and I need to put my feet up.
- Cardigan - Wolford, thrifted; last worn here in September 2018 with a ginormous flowered skirt
- Sleeveless cashmere sweater - J. Crew, consignment; last seen here in October 2018 with bright springy colours
- Skirt - SP, Lazy Susan's; last worn here in August 2018 with this same cardigan
- Shoes - Big Presence Desmond, Fluevog; last seen here in March with green and gold
- Leather coat (below) - Danier Leather; last worn here in February
I do find this skirt a challenge to style - it's very long and very full, so it needs a slim top and heels.
This black sweater is amazing quality - I still can't believe I thrifted it for only $19.95 last summer.
The yellow top is a sleeveless cashmere sweater - nice and warm and such a sunny colour.
Outerwear - of course, I had to wear my yellow leather jacket. I've had this since 2010 - my cost-per-wear must be down around $1 now.
Zipped up.
The stuff:
Copper bling:
- Necklace/earrings - Matisse by Renoir, vintage 60s, vintage expo
- Cuff - vintage 70s, vintage expo
I went looking for Vizzini before I left for work this morning. There he was, snuggled on my robe, snoozing on the bed.

I could hear him purring. We had a nice snuggle - best way to start my day! I never begrudge being a little late due to giving my kitty some attention.
I will be back in a few days with tales of adventure and shenanigans - have a wonderful weekend, my friends! Thank you for stopping by!
What a fantastic print, sunflower umbrellas! I must lift everyone's spirits when they see you in that beauty. The yellow jacket is utterly fabulous and a perfect fit.
ReplyDeleteWolford! No wonder you love wearing that cardi, its one of the best knitwear makers. My grandma used to swear by their tights.
Vizzini looks very snuggly on your robe, they're irresistible when they're all cosy like that, aren't they?
Have a fab Friday. xxx
Thanks, Vix! I always get strong responses to bold prints like this. Yellow is not for everyone, but people really love to see it on me.
DeleteI know, right? I knew the name and quality, so I gasped at $19.95. Such a deal!
Yes, totally irresistible. What a little cutie.
Happy weekend, my dear!
Hoorah for the weekend. That yellow jacket is amazing - you have a really enviable way with outerwear! I need to raise my coat game...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Mim! I was asked by a reader a few years ago about my outerwear, so I started featuring it in my posts, and like you, I realized, "I gotta up my game!" Watch out! Now I have about 30 coats!
DeleteWhat a great Spring outfit! Love the sunflower umbrella skirt and the way it looks with the black cardigan. Awesome jacket and shiny shoes too!
ReplyDeleteA snuggle with cats is the best way to start the day for sure!
Thanks, Cheryene! I love the pattern - so fun! Yes, that is the BEST way to start a day!
DeleteI think this is perfect styling! Have a fab weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Nancy!
DeleteI have cat envy right now! He looks so comfy in your robe!
ReplyDeleteYour umbrella skirt is soooooooooooo cheery- I love it AND how you teamed it with the black and yellow- gorgeous!x
Isn't he cute? Thank you - I really liked this outfit.
DeleteDitto on Vizzini and snuggles. Pairing the Renoir pieces with the the sunshine colors is genius.
DeleteThanks, Chalotalo!
DeleteFrom the little pictures beside one another on bloglovin, I thought the skirt also looked great with the chartreuse from the previous outfit. I was going to suggest that pairing but see you want a fitted top with this. However, maybe the lightness of the fabric of the Miumiu top would mean the volume didn't matter, or maybe it could be tucked in, or maybe a different chartreuse top could work? Or how about pink or turquoise or grass green or light blue? Just thinking of the potential for variety; your ensemble here is quite perfect!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I feel "yes" to the colour, the styles of the top and skirt don't really look right together. The skirt's fabric is very sleek and bold, and the top is quite blousy and more in the fussy vein. I have done pink with it, great idea! I need to play with it more!
DeleteOne cannot help but feel cheerful when spying sunflower brollies! I'm hearing you on the styling challenged, though. Just adding yellow might have been too safe, so I think adding the black cardigan, as well as the copper shoes and bling makes it perfect. Oh, and I think I need a yellow leather jacket! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend, Sheila! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt makes me feel happy too! Happy weekend to you, Ann!
DeleteThat is a treasure of a skirt! I understand how difficult you find to style it. I have two similar (difficult to style) skirts that I am going to post about in my next post so would appreciate any help! I love the outfit with the beautiful yellow leather jacket and those shoes...oh my! The necklace with the matching earrings were fab!

It is very cool, but ugh, patterns like this can be a challenge! I will check out your skirts when I see them. Thanks so much, Vronni!
DeleteEven if it is a little tricky to style I do love this skirt - so cheerful and you wear it well!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mica, I like it too.
DeleteIt is great to start the day with the cuddles from your kitty. As you can imagine I adore this umbrella print. The happy yellow is the perfect complement and that leather jacket is an amazing buy. A dollar per wear is quite the accomplishment. KUDOS and hugs ! .

That's the best way to start the day! Thank you, Elle - that yellow leather jacket ended up being a stalwart in my wardrobe. Hugs to you!
DeleteI love the skirt. Well styled Sheila.
ReplyDeleteI bet that is why Vizzini was putting.😉

He pouts all the times, that cat! Thank you, Greetje!
DeleteWhat a beautiful skirt. And you assemble a gorgeous outfit with it. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ally!
DeleteI do love this fab print and the good vibes of this color combo!, perfect for any dull day!.
ReplyDeleteYour leather jacket, shoes and copper jewelry are so fabulous and create a perfect ensemble!, love it!

Thank you, Monica! Yellow makes me happy!
DeleteYellow is such a joyful colour, but whenever I've tried to wear anything yellow it doesn't suit me. I know it's all about the shade of yellow, so hopefully one day I'll find something that I can wear. This skirt definitely requires a fitted top and the top and sweater pairing looks great.
ReplyDeleteIt can be a tough colour for some people. I agree, fitted top all the way. Thank you, Shelley!
DeleteQueen Sheila, I bow, you look fabulous. The puffy skirt in that cool print with the cardigan tied at the back. You rock lady.
ReplyDeleteHa, thank you! Right back atcha, Queen Lorena!
DeleteWhat a lovely elegant outfit today Sheila. I so approve of the choice of tops to match with the fabulous skirt. You look very chic, very Parisienne!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all the lovely comments, Anna! What a bonanza! Thank you - I did feel very elegant in this.
