It's funny how certain garments can really become workhorses in your wardrobe. I never thought, when I bought this soft pink belted blazer, that I would wear it so much.
- Blazer - Brooks Brothers, thrifted; last seen here in March with spring neon
- Camisole - not tracked
- Skirt - J. Crew, thrifted; purchased here for $12.50
- Boots - Effortless Sophia, Fluevog; last worn here in September 2018 with kitten-soft velvet
- Cape (below) - Coracle Clothes, vintage 60s, pass-along from Sheila A; last seen here in March
I really do have a camisole on! It's very pale pink, and it's blended into my skin here.
The skirt is a wool/silk blend - can you believe this was over $300 new? And I only paid $12.50??
I showed a few of them this, too!

Vintage bling:
- Earrings/necklace - Sherman, vintage 60s, thrifted
- Bracelet - Coro, vintage 60s, Mom's
- Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes
"But Sheila," I hear you saying, "it says Sassy Cat in your post title." Oh yes, it does, my friends. Look at this sass.

Uh-oh, I know what's going to happen.

| "I bite it and rake it. Kill the bag!" |
He was trying to get my attention while I was talking to my mom last night.

| "How dare you not focus on me at all times, Woman!" |
Oh, Vizzini, I know you just want a warm lap to sit on!
What a beautiful silhouette that blazer always creates and its soft color along with your vintage bling really showcase that gorgeous skirt.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Chalotalo! The skirt was awesome.
DeleteLove the ensemble! The boots - OMG!!!! The Sherman OMG! Love the skirt. I've got to get my spring wardrobe happening, wore a sweater dress and tights today, still feelimg a little under the weather and needed a jammie dress and comfy boots.
ReplyDeleteI love the boots, and I always leap at chance to wear my Sherman, Dar! I get the dress/jammie thing, totally. Hope you feel better soon!
Deleteyou're right, we're fascinated by your boots! they're fabulous (and even more fabulous because they're comfortable!)
ReplyDeleteLovely color combo, lovely jacket and skirt (both have fab shapes and look so well made!) and lovely accessories (the jewelry is amazing!!)
Obviously, Vizzini is protecting you from the evil green bag, he deserves lots of attention! ;DD
besos
Ha, I know my audience! Thank you so much, Monica! Vizzini is a very fierce cat and a good protector!
DeleteI AM fascinated by those boots, they're perfect with the skirt and jacket!
ReplyDeleteVizzini is one sassy cat, he's upset that the green bag is empty, ours love a full shopping bag! x
Aren't they awesome? I just love them.
DeleteVizzini is totally not into full bags - he just likes attacking this one particular bag.
Oh sassy cat lol!! The skirt is gorgeous and so are the earrings. I actually love workhorse pieces.
ReplyDeleteHe's such a monster! Thanks, Becky, me too! You know they will always work.
DeleteThat's one gorgeous outfit, Sheila. I love how the jacket and the back of the boots match almost exactly. Those boots are fabulous (and so do the shoes, I'm not sure I've seen the blue and white ones before) and indeed this looks like the right height of heel. I too got one or two skirt I can't do up all the way, but were too good to resist ... And who has a size zero anyway? Look at Vizzini! Phoebe would definitely have fought that shopping bag too, but her current favourite is my dressing gown, the one which resembles your housecoat. Have to be careful there ... xxx
ReplyDeleteAnn, you are such a doll, thank you. You're going to love the blue and white ones. I've also bought skirts which are miles too big, and taken them in with pins! I will defend the size 0 people - people are whatever size they are!
DeleteOh, Phoebe, what a scamp!
Lovely outfit. And nobody sees the skirt is a bit too tight. What is it for size anyway, why does that size even exist. Can't be healthyš¤£š¤£š¤£
ReplyDeleteExactly, Nancy - no one cares! That size exists because there are people that size! I work with some very slender women who would rock this skirt. Let's not be size-ist!
DeleteVizzini is always so funny, such a littler personality!
ReplyDeleteI really like the pink and blue together in your outfit Sheila, it's a clever idea getting the skirt anyway and just not zipping it up all the way! Have you pinned the zip in place? I had a beautiful vintage skirt that I got pre-babies and with my abdominal muscle damage post-pregnancy I was never able to zip it up and had to let it go, the zip wouldn't stay half-zipped :(
He's such a little monkey, Mica! So fun.
DeleteThank you - it's handy having things that cover the waist for that very reason! Aw, that sucks about your skirt. :( I guess the kids are worth it, though!
Oh, and no, I didn't have to pin the skirt - it's a hidden zipper and stayed put really well.
DeleteKill the bag! That's a cat for you. Great outfit Sheila, I propose that the more clothes you have, the better likelihood there is that your stuff will go with other stuff. It's a numbers thing.
ReplyDeleteVery much so, Gerrilyn! Thank you - and yes, you are so right. I'm drawn to certain colours and styles, so it's not happenstance that things in my closet go together!
DeleteThe skirt caught my eye instantly. I can see the high-quality sheen of it even in this relatively small picture. And even with my poor eyesight! Wool and silk is a yummy combination and it takes dye so beautifully. It is really incredibly beautiful. Yes I was also surprised, as I did not think you were wearing a camisole. I also love those boots. Please protect that green bag! LOL.

It's really a lovely piece, isn't it, Elle? Ha, I know, I was shocked the first time I saw the cami in a photo! It's a perfect match for me.
DeleteHee, I will protect the green bag, although it is Vizzini's sworn enemy!
Very well combined. Love the skirt and the special boots.
ReplyDeleteGive your cat a cuddle from me.

Thanks so much, Greetje. I love the boots.
DeleteWill do - Vizzini will appreciate the attention.
What lovely colour combinations, I love how the back of the boots match the blazer.
ReplyDeleteAnd the skirt! Oh, it's gorgeous. X
Thank you, Jess. I loved the skirt.
DeleteOh Lord, that cat kills me! Fighting with a shopping bag. What is he like?
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is beautiful and the boots are fabulous. Loving all the accessories and bling, too.

He's a little monkey, Vronni - a real character, very much as I portray him here. We love him to bits!
DeleteThank you so much!
Those boots are DAMN FINE! I think the pink jacket is just perfect with that fab skirt. Great styling Sheila!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shelley!
DeleteGorgeous cape! and I love it when it's those piece we least expect that we keep going back for .
ReplyDeleteIt's so funny - I never thought this jacket would be so versatile! Thanks, Lorena! Good to see you. :)
