Ah, Monday back to work - everything went smoothly and I spent most of the day getting through my 84 emails.
- Lace jacket - fake Gucci (Gookey!), thrifted; last worn here (5th outfit) in April with lemon leather
- Skirt - Talbots, thrifted new with tags; purchased here for $22.95
- Shoes - Effortless Bebe, Fluevog; last worn here (3rd outfit) in May with an awesome vintage dress
I do make an effort to wear new things right away - no sense in them languishing in my closet. I could have gone with the 'expected' matches with this skirt (yellow, pink, red, black, white), but instead, I did a print mix with the bold stripes on the cuffs and hem of this lace bomber.
I hear that lace is trendy for fall. Yay!
No outerwear, just this.
The stuff:
Pearly bling:
- Necklace - Aldo Accessories
- Bracelet - vintage fair; purchased here for $9.00 - first wearing
- Earrings - thrifted
- Amber ring - c. 1996
- Pearl ring - Erth, consignment
With all my pearls, I rattled a lot - you could hear me coming!
Glad your return to work went well! I like the bright colours of the bomber and skirt together, it's such a pretty skirt even if it doesn't have pockets!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Mica! I know, I was totally drawn to the pattern - silk too!
DeleteFabulous pairing of the new floral skirt with the old lacy bomber jacket! I always love seeing these shoes, such a gorgeous colour, and those heels! The "gobs of pearl" complete your outfit perfectly. And yes, you do look sassy, Sheila! I'm always glad to have the first day back at work over with, don't you? We had a long weekend, with Monday off, so today was my Monday! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ann! These are one of my favourite pairs of shoes - so comfy. Hee, sassy Sheila! Ugh, I hope your day went well!
DeleteI love the unexpected match, much more fun than the expected mitchy-matchy option.
ReplyDeleteThose are the kind of heels I like, chunky but funky! xxx
Same, Vix! Matchy-matchy is sometimes too much. I love chunky heels.
DeleteI'm the opposite, I never wear new things straight away. Don't know why, it's stupid!
ReplyDeleteFigure it out, Nancy! I like to find out if I really like an item when I buy it, or if it was an impulse. If I don't like it, it's gone.
DeleteOooh those pearls - just the bubbly thing you need for a return to work.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, Mim! Gobs of 'em.
DeleteBeautiful bright outfit. That Gooky lace jacket has proven to be a good purchase.
ReplyDeleteIt's almost as good as real Gucci! Thanks, Lorena!
DeleteAll full skirts should have pockets! Who do we write to about this? The pattern and luxe fabric ALMOST make up for the lack of pockets.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! I demand more pockets! I know, it's such a pretty fabric.
Deletelovely ensemble, your skirt has a fab print and a fab shape and texture too!, totally fabulous indeed!, and it looks so cool with the bomber jacket, with a 50's vibe and lots of sassiness and coolness!
ReplyDeleteI also love your shoes, obviously!
besos
Thank you so much, Monica! We have similar taste in shoes and prints, I think!
