I absolutely love the skirt - this is my fourth wearing of it, and I'm down to $10 per wear already.
I twirled for two of my coworkers.
I thought about wearing a blazer with this - I have done so for the last three outfits - but the soft comfort of this mohair sweater lured me. I liked how it exactly matched the forest green of the pussy-bow blouse too.
Pleats! I used to think pleats were "so old lady" when I was a teenager. Now I love 'em.
Masked up.
Under the bright lights of the office, I looked very festive.
Outerwear - we're in the low single digit temps this week.
All my warm coats are needed, including the Unsafe Ocelot. It's quilted and plush, so incredibly comforting to wear.
Accoutrements:
The hat! I showed it off here, way back in May 2010 as part of my "Never Seen" archives, including a picture of me from our Lame Superhero Party (I was the Full Minty). It was a Christmas gift c. 1985-6 from Mom and Dad from Fairweather - the matching scarf is long gone.
- Hat - Fairweather, c. 1985-6, gift from Mom & Dad

I loved how it looked, but it didn't do much to keep my ears warm!
The stuff:
Dragon bling:
I don't wear this necklace and earrings set that often, as they have to be planned for.

- Earrings - consignment

My winter coat needs to be warmth over fashion. I wish ai could find a replacement for a red wool version I once had. I loved that coat. Your office mates got a treat.
ReplyDeleteThis skirt belongs in The Sheila Hall of Fame. :)
ReplyDeleteNothing tame about that gorgeous skirt, Sheila, nor should be reserved for "old ladies" ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd of course you had to twirl it for your co-workers, that's what these skirts are for.
All those dark forest greens are gorgeous too, although it's a colour that tends to photograph badly when it's gloomy.
The hat is simply divine and combines absolutely perfectly with the Unsafe Ocelot! xxx
There is something of a thoroughly wonderful 21st century take on Dior's iconic New Look to the lines of that beautiful outfit with its gloriously wide skirt.

I love the green and gold together - in that deep shade of green it is just so Christmas-y to me! :) This is a really nice outfit!
ReplyDeleteLove the sheen and swish of the skirt. x
ReplyDeleteNothing tame about that outfit especially with the Unsafe Ocelot at large! xxx
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing old ladyish about that pleated skirt! It deserves to be worn often. This outfit looks fabulous on you. The shoes are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteFlip, that skirt is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI struggle with winter clothing. Our school is sooooo warm and so is the train but waiting for the train is freeeeeeeeeeezing! I can't seem to win!x
