Back to work today...200+ emails to get through, and a big corporate walking event (that I co-organized), but I cruised through it all with a serene "I just got back from vacation" smile.
- Jacket - Isaac Mizrahi, thrifted; purchased here for $22.95
- Sleeveless sweater - Gap, thrifted; last worn here in June under a key bomber
- Trousers - H&M, consignment, Vancouver; last seen here in June with a pajama jacket
- Shoes - Effortless Bebe, Fluevog; last worn here in August with a double wrap
I built the outfit around this wildly-patterned blazer. I wore it done up a few times like this, and was all, "You talkin' to me?"
The pinks are not an exact match, but I loved how the jacket and shiny pink satin trousers went together.
I'll continue to enjoy my summer colours for another couple of weeks.
I slouched around like this and regaled them with our adventures.
The stuff:
Round bling:
- Steel cuff - thrifted
- Dragon bangle - Lazy Susan's
- Glass bangle - thrifted
- Silver earrings/necklace - M&M, consignment, Vancouver
- Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes
As I was headed out the door this morning, I spotted a very sullen face.

Aw! I gave him one more cuddle before I left.
My friends, I shall be back on Sunday with my weekend adventures. Until then, rock on!
That blazer is so good on you and a fab colour combination with the pink pants! glad your first day back at work went well Sheila! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Mica! Yes, me too - it was not too bad!
DeleteLove how bright and cheery this is! Btw there is a gorgeous deep metalic blue new oxford shoes at My Sister's Closet. They didn't have my size, but think they may have yours and they're gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dar! Oh, jeez, I might have to go check those out! Thank you!
DeleteThat's a really interesting jacket! Isaac in a happy mood, for sure! By any chance have you read his autobiography?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle! No, I have not read that - is it good? I will watch for it.
DeleteOoo-er Boss Lady! You look very grand in your pink boss trousers (I'm also getting Princess Jasmine vibes!).Love the jacket too- it's like an art work! Not surprised you felt authoritative in it!x
ReplyDeleteHee hee, look at me - yes, I get the Princess Jasmine too! Thanks, Kezzie!
DeleteI adore the jacket and would wear it in winter as well. The trousers are fantastic but Indeed I wouldn't wear those in winter. The shoes made me realize I still have never been to the Fluevog store in Amsterdam. Bad girl. Have to correct that as I wouldn't mind these babies. Only one remark totally from my perspective and only mine: I (emphasize here) wouldn't have worn trousers and jacket together. Although they match I feel that they are both unique items battling with each other for attention. I think they both deserve the stage to themselves. But hey, I am rather conservative haha.

It's an interesting piece, for sure. I am waffling on the trousers, but we'll see how the winter collection shapes up first. You must go to see your Fluevog store, especially once you see my upcoming post!
DeleteNo worries, m'dear - my style is a little over-the-top and not to everyone's taste. :) I've worn the pants on their own a few times, so this is just trying something new.
I have to agree with Greetje! I would love to see those trousers in the lead part! I think they are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteJust click back through the wears, Nancy, I've worn them a few other ways. Thanks!
DeleteIf you're the "Big Boss Lady," I want to be your assistant!
ReplyDeleteTotally! Ha!
DeleteGive that boy of yours a tummy rub from his auntie Vix!
ReplyDelete200 emails - ye gods! the downside of a holiday! Love your outfit, that jacket is stupendous and the trousers and shoes are fab. I hate to disagree with a couple of your commenters but I LOVE both together - more is more to us minimalists, isn't it?
Hope you're having a fabulous weekend. xxx
Done, and many purry thanks from the Vizz-meister, Vix!
DeleteOh, it's nuts when I'm away. I can't believe they don't burn the office down while I'm away. Thanks so much! Agreed, we maximalists (I think you meant to say) love MORE!
Happy weekend to you too!
Minimalists? I must have been drunk when I typed that!
DeleteLOL!
DeleteClever you, going back to work when it's almost the weekend ;-) And what a magnificent outfit to start the (shoprt!) working week with. Like Vix, I disagree with Greetje and Nancy, as I too think the trousers and jacket are a fabulous combination! I'm hearing you on the emails, as I too had quite a catch-up to do this week. It's a good thing it's already the weekend, isn't it? xxx
ReplyDeleteI know, and same back to you, clever Ann! Thank you, we maximalists get it, ha ha! Thank goodness for weekends!
DeleteI love the pretty pink colour and the sheen of the satin fabric of those 'Big Boss Lady Pants'! The artistically designed blazer you styled with them looks very attractive and classy. Fabulous OOTD - I love the look!

Thank you, PB!
DeleteI love your pants :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kinga!
DeleteHey Boss Lady! That jacket is such a flattering cut - it looks great on you. I would wear it in the winter because it's still been too warm here to wear more than one layer inside. Give Vizzini a head skritch from me.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shelley! I'll make the final decisions on everything once I get a look at what's in storage.
DeleteGreat to see that jacket in action!! I knew it would look amazing. It's really quite something isn't it?! x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Fay! It really is something!
DeleteThat jacket and trousers look superb together!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Mim!
DeleteYou certainly came back with a bang ! I love this combination :) You had me at the trousers.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love those pink trousers!
DeleteBrilliant slouchy, uber cool ensemble my dear. Great pairing of pants and jacket. Sooooooo blooming sassy xxx
ReplyDeleteBloomin' sassy, that's me! Thanks, my dear!
