This Monday came way too quickly! I need another weekend!
- Velvet jacket - Pink Tartan, consignment; last worn here in March with more green and gold
- Turtleneck - Wanko, thrifted; last seen here (2nd outfit) in November for a caped brunch
- Skirt - Banana Republic, consignment; last worn here (2nd outfit) for brunch in September
- Shoes - Seychelles; last seen here with a gold genie skirt in November
- Leather trenchcoat (below) - vintage 70s, thrifted; last worn here a week ago
I've been shopping my closet and wearing lots of my favourite things - this green velvet jacket is so fabulous.
 |
| "Hmm, what have we here? Is that an open purse?" |
The jacket has big heavy gold buttons all over it - it's so luxurious.
 |
| "There has to be some food in here..." |
The skirt is so shiny! I loved wearing all this sparkle - and people love seeing it.
 |
| "No food! I need to destroy something!" |
The sweater is such nice quality - I had to de-hair it, as someone shed all over me after we had some cuddles. I realized Vizzini needed some attention once I checked my pictures!
Outerwear - I've learned my lesson with velvet! This trenchcoat has an acetate (I think) lining that doesn't cling to other fabrics, and generous sleeves/shoulders, perfect for wearing with blazers.
- Fur scarf/leather gloves - Danier Leather
The stuff:
Gold bling:
- Necklace - D'Orlan, vintage 60s, thrifted
- Earrings - thrifted
- Crystal ring - Uffizi Gallery gift shop, Florence, Italy
- Amber ring - c. 1996
...and how was your Monday?
Love the mix of textures with the sparkle, glitter and the velvet together! Such a festive look Sheila :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Mica! I love this green and gold combo.
DeleteI think this sparkly outfit is just what the doctor ordered and therefore a perfect pick me up to start the working week. That jacket is all kinds of wonderful, what a gorgeous colour! And how stunning is that 1960s pendant! xxx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Ann! There's so much shiny stuff in my closet - I need to wear it all! I adore the jacket - one of these days I'll even be able to do it up again, lol. I know, the necklace is amazing. Thank you!
DeleteOh so cute style darling
ReplyDeleteI love it the blazer
xx
Thank you so much, Sakuranko!
DeleteHa ha Vinzini on the background! Fantastic! What an amazing necklace!
ReplyDeleteI know, what a silly boy he is! Thanks, Nancy!
DeleteLovely outfit. A green velvet jacket is my idea of heaven! I have three green jackets; two made of a satiny material and one is cotton but no velvet...
ReplyDeleteVizzini is a hoot! What a naughty boy he is - did he find any tasty laces or fringes?
I also have multiple green jackets, Vronni! Glad I'm not the only one!
DeleteVizzini is such a naughty thing. No, he got nothing but a bunch of cuddles from me!
The skirt is amazing. You always find such incredible pieces.
ReplyDeleteI have madd shopping skillz!
DeleteThat blingy necklace is pure Bollywood - love it!
ReplyDeleteThe green velvet and gold skirt are a fabulous combo but Vizzini's doing his best to distract me with his mad antics! xxx
Thanks, Vix, my Indian colleagues love it when I wear chunky jewelry like this.
DeleteVizzini is a highly distracting cat!
Love all those sparkly textures and the bling (lovely necklace!) and how fab it looks with your velvet jacket!, looking fab in luxurious Green velvet with your cool leather trench!.
ReplyDeleteNoticing Vizzini's activities in the background is such fun!
besos
Thank you so much! Vizzini is such a silly boy.
DeleteSequins and velvet - what a winning combination for the start of your week! You can just tell how lush that jacket is from the rich sheen. I'm tempted to bring out my sequin skirt now. It's our staff party tomorrow, but I wonder if mine will fit as well as yours does ...
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong with either of them, so two in one outfit? I'm good to go! Bust out those sequins, Anna!
DeleteLove the velvet jacket. I'm sure you're brightening up people's days with your fab outfits. X
ReplyDeleteI hope so, Jess! But they brighten MY days, which is what really matters. :)
DeleteThat is such a wonderful jacket - green and gold is a winning combo
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shelley - it's pretty early Pink Tartan, made in Canada.
