I see a lot of client "regulars" on a weekly or monthly basis, but we've had some new folks coming in lately who've never met me. It's fun to see how they react - today, one of the gents said, "You're your office's Vanna White, aren't you?"
- Sweater - Dalkeith, vintage 60s, thrifted; last worn here in April with a salamander
- Skirt - Zara, consignment; purchased here for $23.39
- Shoes - Channi B; last seen here for Diwali in October with orange and gold
- Coat (below) - Hilary Radley, thrifted; last worn here in November with mostly matching mauves
If you don't know who I'm talking about, Vanna is on the game show "Wheel of Fortune", and she's famous for looking fancy (she wears gorgeous gowns) and turning the letters around, presenting them with a wave of her hand. That's totally me.
So just call me Vanna.
Wearing one of my favourite vintage wool sweaters (not a single moth-hole - it's a miracle) that I've had for ages. I love the fit of it.
Outerwear - swaggin' in the Unsafe Ocelot.
- Faux fur scarf/wool gloves - Parkhurst
The stuff:
Copper bling:
- Necklace - Renoir, vintage 60s, vintage fair
- Cuff/earrings - Renoir, vintage 60s, vintage fair
- Ball cuff - vintage 70s, vintage expo
I'm off for the weekend now and it's looking to be very busy. Vizzini knows that when we start bustling around that we're going out, and he hides under the bed.

I'll be back on Sunday with tales of adventure! Have a great weekend, and thank you so much for stopping by.
Love that jacket and swishy skirt--- Vanna!!!!
ReplyDeleteHee hee! Thanks, Becky!
DeleteGuess I'm gonna have to take up crocheting now. :)
ReplyDeleteI guess so! #Vannagoals
DeleteThanks for the explanation as I was a little lost by the Vanna White reference, haha! But I can see how it sums you up well - you always dress impeccably and know how to make the most of your wardrobe! This skirt is so nice on you!
ReplyDeleteYup, I didn't think her reknown was world-wide! Aw, thank you, Mica!
DeleteYes, I was lost by the Vanna reference too, but now I know...
ReplyDeleteFab skirt and how beautifully matched are the shoes and the jumper? Loved the copper bling; I need more copper in my jewellery collection!
Have a great weekend.

Thanks so much, Vronni! I adore copper - it's so warm-looking. I hope you had a fab weekend!
DeleteBeautiful Vanna! .lol,
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays. Thinking about you,
Elle
Hey, sweetie! Great to hear from you - thanks so much!
DeleteThis is an outfit right up my street. Would love to wear it. All items are fantastic. Your shoes remind me of the fact I still have to go to Fluevog. I know, I know. They are right in the centre of Amsterdam and I don't often go there.
ReplyDeleteGreetje
Thanks a bunch, Greetje! These aren't even Fluevog, but YES, you need to go there!
DeleteHi ... Vanna
ReplyDeletewhat a fantastic greeting !!! I think you deserved it !!!
I loved your look, you look stunning !!

Thanks, Marissa!
DeleteThat's a stunner of an outfit all around, Vanna ... err, Sheila! Of course I had no idea who Vanna is, but I sort of get the picture. The skirt and short-sleeved jumper are a match made in heaven, and the addition of those awesome shoes, and of course the Unsafe Ocelot, makes this an outfit to die for. Wishing you a most fabulous weekend, my dear! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Ann! I really liked this outfit too. I hope you had a great weekend!
DeleteYeah they're that gorgeous skirt! Love it. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nancy!
DeleteI had to Google Vanna White and I must say I far prefer your style!
ReplyDeleteThat skirt is fabulous, even more so with the Unsafe Ocelot.
Vizzini looks very cosy and snug.
Have a wonderful weekend, Sheila! xxx
Aw, thanks, Vix! I think it was the sparkly/dressy aspect he was getting at - I like my style better too.
DeleteVizzini has been hiding/sleeping all weekend. I hope you and the boys had a good one too!
Like Vix, I googled Vanna White. I didn't know who she was and was curious to see. Vanna seems to have such a fun personality (if one can tell from photos) and I definitely like her colourful feminine dressing style, just my cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is fabulous. I love that asymmetric skirt. The leopard coat is amazing. Great accessories and shoes as well. You always look so stylish & dressed up. I love how you always find and wear so many unique pieces that one can't really see everywhere.
Yes, it was a nice compliment, since I also really like her clothes, especially her gowns, and I do lean to the feminine side of dressing.
DeleteThank you, Ivana! I live for the unique pieces!
I love that skirt ♥
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kinga!
DeleteGlad you explained the Vanna comments, and what a compliment that is!
ReplyDeleteLove the Unsafe Ocelot coat as always. It looks like one Paula Yates used to wear in the 90s- it’s truly fabulous.
Enjoy your weekend, Shiela. X
I thought so too, Jess! Thank you - oh, how cool is that? I hope you had a great weekend too!
DeleteHis eyes are SO dilated!!! I'm not sure if it's because it is dark, because he's just about to pounce on your hand or because he just plain loves you!?!?!??!
ReplyDeleteThe ocelot is pretty cool and I'm not usually a fan of that type of print!!
Love the new skirt, so swishy! You are glamorous so that comment is spot on! I didn't know her though!xx
It's because it's dark - he doesn't get big eyes when he's feeling lovey. I love the Unsafe Ocelot - it's just so unusual. Thank you so much!
DeleteLovely outfit, love those bronze-copper shades all around, your skirt and accessories totally rock together!, and also love that your top and shoes match, this is particularly cute!. Loving your Unsafe Ocelot Coat too, so fab!
ReplyDeleteI've read about Vanna and I'm glad that you received such a compliment!. Looking fabulous!
besos
I really liked this skirt too - I was happy at how well it worked out. You know I love my matchy! I have been feeling very Vanna ever since!
DeleteHurrah for the Unsafe Ocelot! This coat says utter glamour doesn't it? I love that you don't keep it for good and swan about in it for your everyday wear. Fabulous x
ReplyDeleteIt really does, and of course, I wear it as day-wear. Why wouldn't I? Thank you, Anna!
DeleteI know who Vanna White is, so I got the reference (is there a prize for that?). I really like this outfit - it's simple but definitely not boring and you look terrific (that word does not get used enough anymore).
ReplyDeleteYes, you earn 10 points. :) I like a simple but not boring look. Thank you!
