Since I just recovered these tartan trousers from my own giveaway of them to Caro, and I just wore them to sit in a movie theatre, I thought I would give them another spin for work today. Tartan again!
- Cardigan - Sparkle & Fade, swap from Sarah; last worn here in January with vexing velour
- Sleeveless blouse - CABi, consignment; first seen here in September 2019 with my circus skirt
- Trousers - Cartonnier, thrifted; last worn here (5th outfit) on the weekend
- Shoes - Sol Sana, consignment; first seen here in November 2019 with dragon scales
- Coat (below) - Hilary Radley, thrifted; last worn here in January
I actually really liked how this top with all its splotches of colours went with the trousers - near the hem it has navy and a bit of teal, which went perfectly with the tartan.
Outerwear - it's been lovely and sunny, but that comes with very cold temps overnight. This was just perfect in the morning for my walk to town. We're getting close to the end of the Unsafe Ocelot and/or Polar Bear season.
- Hat - M&S Collection, consignment, Powell River

Long cardis are never not a thing!!! I love that one you're wearing. I had a tan cashmere one my cousin gave me I wore until it was full of holes!
ReplyDeleteI tend to agree, Becky, and besides, if I like it, I should wear it. Thank you so much - this one was worn to death by Sarah, and I'm doing the same!
DeletePersonally I think the long cardi grounds everything and I love your independent attitude.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you, Nana!
DeleteI love that cardi with this outfit, the colours all do go so nicely together! :)
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across a skirt in an opshop I had to get - I wasn't sure if it was mustard or rust, it seems to change in different lights, I think it's more ochre (I had to google!) but I love it as I always wanted a little rust in my wardrobe, I have many times admired your cardigan, and this is like nothing else I have!
Thank you, Mica! Ooh, I can't wait to see your skirt - it's going to be fabulous with all the blue you have! I'm so glad you're trying something different. How adventurous!
DeleteSo glad you got those tartan trousers back, as they look amazing on you. Especially worn with that swoon-worthy blouse and long cardigan. Such a wonderful outfit, proving yet again that comfortable and stylish can go hand in hand. I've been embracing long cardigans lately, and I think my wardrobe would benefit from one in that colour, so I'll be on the lookout. Oh, and we even't had Safe Ocelot/Polar Bear weather yet. All my warmer clothes and coats are still languishing in my wardrobe! xxx
ReplyDeleteSame here, Ann - why did I ever give them away? I must check my brain! I adore long cardis; they are so nice and slouchy and comfy to wear. Wow, no real winter yet? Aw, I bet those clothes miss being worn!
DeleteLove the color combo here- varying shades of blues and oranges/yellows are my favorite. Yay complementary colors! I think long cardigans will never not be a thing completely, they add a bit of a dramatic swoosh to an outfit and who doesn't like that?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Ashley! I know, you really can't go wrong with opposites on the ol' colour wheel. I am ALL about the dramatic swoosh.
DeleteThe warm, soothing fall tones of this eye-catchingly delightful ensemble are setting my heart aflutter.

Thank you so much, Autumn!
DeleteShiela, I like how you don't care for trends. If you want to wear a long cardi, go ahead darl.
ReplyDeleteOoo those boots are looking great. The colour and block heel are perfect. I'm just wondering... do you call them boots or something else because they're almost half boot- half shoe (haha). X
Yup, I'm not going to get rid of something I love just because it's not in style anymore! Thanks, Jess! I call them sh-booties (shuh-booties), lol.
DeleteWhat a great pairing of colours! I love wearing long cardis with pants, it makes the look somehow more interesting. I really like your shoes, they're so fab. I'm a big fan of block heel when it comes to walking.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ivana! I liked these colours together quite a lot. I like the extra layer and proportion that a long cardi gives. I like block heels for balance and walking - they're awesome.
Deleteso fabulous color combo!, love the tartan with the golden and rusty colors and how well they go with your shoes!, brilliant ensemble!
ReplyDeleteLooking gorgeous!
besos
Thank you, Monica!
DeleteWe had a few sunny, above 0 degree days and today we are back to snow and -10. I wish the weather would make up its mind! I'm glad you rescued those trousers - they're a good colour mix.
ReplyDeleteOh, no, not actual winter! Me too - I can't imagine what I was thinking to give them away!
DeleteVery cool combo She - the shirt looks great with the long cardi and the boomerang trousers.
ReplyDeleteI like this one more in retrospect than I did when I originally wore it.
