One more day and we have a long weekend! It's BC Day long weekend for us, which means that we get Monday off. No actual holiday to be celebrated or anything, just a stat holiday.
- Silk top - White House Black Market, consignment; last worn here with plaid trousers in May
- Skirt - Evan Davies, vintage 80s, thrifted; last seen here in June 2018 with whites
- Shoes - Tudor Prysten, Fluevog; purchased here for $119.00
- Coat (below) - Lord & Taylor, thrifted; last seen here in July
Of course, I had to build the outfit around the shoes, let them shine, but it's not like I'm going to wear beige or anything! This peacock blue/green blouse is a stretch silk (washable!). I love the colour.
Although I only wear it once a year, it's a classic.
At least for me, it is!
The stuff:
Gold bling:
- Belt - vintage 70s, Mom's
- Bracelet - Butler Fifth Avenue Collection, consignment
- Earrings - vintage fair
- Gold/amethyst ring - Frances Jewelers, c. 1965, Dad's
- Tiger brooch - consignment
I pinned this guy over one shoulder, and then pinned my shirt to my bra strap so it wouldn't pull on the silk.

My friends, I will be back on Monday with tales of adventure and a Bigass Wrap-up. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! Thank you so much for stopping by.
Very nice outfit. I agree with you about a good leather pencil skirt in a bright colour. Never to be thrown out.
ReplyDeleteThe brooch is a very nice addition and of course the focus is on these awesome shoes.
Have a lovely weekend.
Greetje
Thank you, Greetje! I have a couple of favourite leather skirts that I keep saving, year after year.
DeleteHappy weekend to you!
I have two leather pencil skirts, the orange one and a black one. There is something not right about the black one, cannot put my finger on it.
DeleteTime to start searching for a new black leather skirt! I have had many in my closet over the years. It's an ongoing quest for the Perfect Black Leather Skirt.
DeleteMy eyes first admired the colorful outfit but then the saw the shoes and I thought "WOW these look so royal..." I am such a fan of this fabric - the name Tudor is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love the shoes. I can't wait to wear them again.
DeleteOh yes, there is that beautiful brooche again! I love it so much! I told you about that time I saw it on the TV right. At antique road show or something like that. Everytime I'm in the UK in a antique shop, I'm on the hunt for it! I know one day I'll find it! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI remember how much you love it, Nancy! I'm always on the lookout for these articulated brooches at the local vintage fairs.
DeleteThanks, happy weekend to you!
Lovely outfit and oh the shoes are magnificent! Have a fabulous holiday weekend.
ReplyDeleteAren't they awesome? Thanks so much, Vronni! Happy weekend to you!
DeleteSitting on the bus and catching up on my blog reading this morning, I couldn't have been happier when I saw your post pop up. What an absolutely stunning outfit, Sheila. Combining that fabulous peacock blue top, the hot pink leather skirt and your amazing new Fluevogs was a stroke of genius. And then there's all your lovely round bling and the non-scary tiger! You made me start the day with a smile, Sheila! Have a fabulous weekend! xxx
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks so much for the sweet comment, Ann! Lots of colour always makes me feel good, and I had to give my new shoes a worthy outfit! Glad to give you a smile, and wishing you a wonderful weekend, my dear!
DeleteOMG what an amazing outfit. Everything is gorgeous individually and together the whole really is greater than the sum of the parts. I especially love/covet the shoes, the skirt - ok, all of it!!! Love all your combos and this has to be my fav yet.
ReplyDeleteI missed seeing Vizzini pics today. I have a kitty (Siriuis Black Cat) who looks a lot like Vizzini except his paws and chin are black. Sirius thinks he is a pitbull (like his dog).
Love from Austin, TX
Dena, Sirius & Fifi (said AmStaff - pittie)
Aw, thank you, Dena! That is so sweet of you. :)
DeleteI know, Mr. Vizzini wasn't into having his pic taken last night and was hiding this morning - what a diva! Aw, your Sirius Black (great name) sounds beautiful! Vizzini thinks he is a human.
I promise Vizz pics in the weekend wrap-up!
Such a great first wearing of the shoes and I love the colourful outfit you paired them with! So fun but still lets them shine :) Enjoy your extra day off!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mica!
DeleteWe are enjoying a long weekend here in Ontario too! It's stinkin' hot again though so no nice outfits for me. A hot pink leather skirt is definitely a classic and a KEEPER!
ReplyDeleteUgh, I hope it cools off for you soon, Shelley!
DeleteThanks, it's a fave!
Ahh, the Fluevogs!
ReplyDeleteI love how you’ve styled the tiger brooch. I initially thought it was part of the shirt. X
Thanks, Jess! Nope, he's my wee tiger riding around on me.
DeleteAll weekend I asked Canadians why they have today off and nobody knew. They just said it's a "civic holiday."
ReplyDeleteOops... meant to type "civil holiday."
DeleteYup, just a civic holiday, no reason. Looks like it might have been a political gambit at some point, which makes sense.
Deletewowww, total fabulousness!!, I do love your leather skirt, such a magnificent color!, your blouse is so cool, the color and shape are fab, and the tiger on your shoulder totally rocks!. Obviously, your shoes are gorgeous!, what a fab outfit!
ReplyDeletebesos
Aw, thanks, Monica! I loved all the colour in this outfit.
