I'm taking advantage of the (slightly) cooler temps this week and wearing some not-quite-summer things.
- Sweater - Tatyana, thrifted; last worn here (2nd outfit) in April with my picador skirt
- Skirt - Andrea Jovine, thrifted; purchased here for $34.95
- Shoes - Poetic Licence; last seen here in January with more green dots
But today it was just right, and the deep leaf green went so well with this new-to-me brown linen skirt, which is the featured item today.
It was good for work, although being linen it did wrinkle up from sitting. The back of the skirt only is lined, so that it looks nice from the front through the wrap - I love that detail.
I was worried about it gaping open when I walked, but it wasn't too bad - I did have to hold the front in the wind (it's very windy today). It was fine for sitting at my desk (or in the dentist chair).

I walked home from my late afternoon dentist appointment with one hand on the front. The underneath part of the wrap is securely sewn to the side seam right at my hip, so not much chance of it blowing wide open, but I wasn't going to risk it!
The stuff:
Your eyes do not deceive you: the shoes are wool, and the dots are raised. Fuzzy shoes! I call these my Kermit shoes.
Leaf bling:
- Brooch/earrings - Matisse Renoir, vintage 60s, vintage fair - purchased here for $50 for the set, first wearing
- Cuff - Matisse Renoir, vintage 60s, vintage fair
Lovely, ebay currently has a pin like yours for 150$ you did well (you always seem to),

Woo hoo! I scored! I have an eye for a bargain, Lynette!
DeleteI really like the green and brown together! :) I don't have much brown in my wardrobe, maybe having more of it would make me want to wear green more often? I seem to be having better luck with fitting olive into my wardrobe! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mica - I have always liked brown. Maybe you should give it a try? It goes well with olive.
DeleteThis is such a classy outfit :) Love the Kermit shoes. Lise
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lise! I know, the shoes are amazing.
DeleteThose shoes are excellent. Fuzzy AND with diamante? Perfect.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? They are one of my favourite pairs.
DeleteA beautiful outfit, Sheila! It would work well in fall, too.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Susan! I'll definitely try it out with some boots.
DeleteThis is a beautiful outfit--I love green and brown together. How lovely that you can wear a sweater and beautiful wool shoes in mid-June (says the person who normally lives in Arizona, but is now spending the summer in Oregon! I get that it is cooler this week!) That skirt is amazing. I also thrifted a great brown linen skirt, about a year ago, and have worn it a ton. Mine is a long skirt, fitted at the top yet nicely flared by the bottom. It really looks great with brighter colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Linda! Ah, you know what it's like over here on the coast - the weather changes really fast! Your skirt sounds awesome.
DeleteThat skirt looks gorgeous on you, Sheila! As it's currently 28°C here, I can't imagine wearing a jumper, but it looks lovely worn with the skirt. The Kermit shoes are fabulous, and so is your bling. I especially love the vintage brooch! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's much cooler here right now (only 15 degrees!). I knew you'd like the brooch! Thanks so much, Ann!
DeleteLoving the shape of that skirt on you and the lovely green and brown combo.
ReplyDeleteIt's warmish here today and it hasn't rained since 8am - I think I need a drink to celebrate! xxx
Isn't it pretty? I love the high waist as well. You should definitely celebrate the lack of rain!
DeleteLove this all so much! The shape of that skirt is amazing, and the shoes are so great with that sweater.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Charlotte!
DeleteGreen really suits you! Those Kermit shoes are just fab!

I love this colour too - shame that it's starting to get worn/fuzzed out, though.
DeleteThat s a skirt I love, wrapped skirts and dresses have my preference. And the green is a very beautiful shade of green.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nancy! I love a nice wrap.
DeletePerfect outfit. So very different from the previous post. I think I recognize that bit of myself in you. Like me you can sway from pencil skirt to studded boots, from demure green to PANK. And I love this outfit as much as the pank dress. It is beautiful. Accessories are so well chosen. And the shoes... ah the shoes are perfect.

I like to shake it up, Greetje. I'm all over the place style-wise, and love surprising people. Thank you, my dear!
DeleteSo do I. That is exactly what I call my style: all over the place.
DeleteLol, we shall henceforth be AOTP. :)
DeleteWhat a lovely skirt. Beautiful design. You find the greatest styles.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much cool stuff out there! Thank you, Ally!
DeleteWow, this outfit is AMAZING! You look fantastic! I want a skirt like that.
ReplyDeleteBetter start looking, Chrissy! I haven't seen one like this for a long time.
DeleteThe shape of the skirt has some Va-Va-Voom to it - the shape reminds me of Dorothy Lamour's sarong skirt she wore in the Bob Hope/Bing Crosby films.
ReplyDeleteYes, good call - it's very va-va-voom. Thanks, Shelley!
DeleteLove the green and brown together. And the kermit shoes are gorgeous! X
ReplyDeleteIt's a cool colour pairing - thank you, Jess!
DeleteLove this skirt shape and the gorgeous accessorizing, those bronze pieces are really eye catching and add a touch of 50's vibe!, lovely!
ReplyDeletebesos
Thank you! The jewelry is solid copper, actually, and is from the early 60s.
DeleteA real classy outfit today Sheila. The sweater and skirt say style with a capital S, so stylish that they carry the Kermit shoes to another level. Love, love, love you in this x
ReplyDeleteI think it's the skirt - it's definitely doing the heavy lifting in this outfit! Thank you!!
DeleteMy dear She, you look fabulous! The silhouette here is marvelous, the tulip skirt fits you beautifully. I really like this combination and of course the Kermit shoes I am a fan of.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lorena!
