After that lovely long weekend, facing work today was challenging. I went with neutrals for my armour today.
- Blazer - Julie Haus, thrifted; last worn here in October 2019 with other toasty tweeds
- Sleeveless sweater (underneath) - Ellen Tracy, swap from Caro; last worn here in November 2019 under circles and orbs
- Skirt - TKStyle, thrifted; last seen here (2nd outfit) in December 2019 for a brunch and grocery shop
- Shoes - DKode, consignment; purchased here yesterday for $18.90
- Coat (below) - Donna Karan, consignment; last worn here in January
My neutrals are never blah, though. I can't do blah.
Outerwear - it was bright and clear, but brrr, very cold.
- Scarf - gift from Mom
- Gloves - Danier Leather
The stuff:
POLY bling:
- POLY jewelry:
- Necklace, bracelet - thrifted
- Green/steel ring - Art Gallery of Hamilton gift shop
- Brass ring - vintage expo
- Earrings - thrifted
- Silver/gold cuff - JPL, vintage fair
Stunning! That is the way to do neutrals.
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks so much, Chalotalo!
DeleteI feel like that sometimes too, although like you, I couldn't be invisible if I tried. You might be wearing neutrals, but I bet you were still the best and most quirkily dressed person at the office, right? I love the asymmetry of both your skirt and your jacket which, by the way, is rather fabulous. Your new shoes are perfect with this outfit too. xxx
ReplyDeleteYeah, same, Ann! Of course, I was the most unusual-looking person in the room (I usually am, even when dressed down). I loved the subtle details in this outfit. Thank you!
DeleteI love how your outfits are always so you Sheila - even when you're not wearing a riot of colour (which you do so well!) you make the most of special pieces and don't have anything boring. I don't think I'l ever give up my basic tees, too useful for mum life, but you do always inspire me to try other things, even if it's as simple as trying a tee with colours I haven't worn it with before.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the nicest and best comments I've ever had, Mica, thank you! *hug* You won't always be a mum of young'uns - you may want to change your style as they get older. I'm happy to inspire you.
DeleteYour outfit to blend in is a stand out! I love the boots and I am so glad they were comfortable.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nana! I was thrilled that they were so comfy.
DeleteThat should be the subtitle to your biography: "She Was Never Blah."
ReplyDeleteLOL, but what would the main title be??
DeleteOf course you can't do blah! But it's almost weekend again! And good weather is coming nearer and nearer!
ReplyDeleteYou're so right, Nancy! I felt it today!
DeleteThose shoes are utterly magnificent! I adore how they channel (some styles of) mid-century winter boots, while having a chicly modern feel at the same time.

Aren't they fun, Autumn? Yes, I love that vintage look about them.
DeleteThis outfit is so well put together. I like all the asymmetrical touches starting with the jacket and moving onto the skirt. Even the boots were bit of extra with their unique design and details. I also really like your puffer. Such a beautiful outfit from head to toe. You looked fantastic in this!!!!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you, Ivana! I love asymmetry in clothes.
Deletewow, you rock neutrals with lots of attitude!, love that you picked interestingly shaped clothes, with cool textures and details!. And so fabulous accessories and Boots!, they're fantastic!

I like interesting clothes, and I'm okay with neutrals if they are interesting too. Thank you so much!
