I stuck to classic styling for it.
The detail on this purple wool skirt is excellent - it has double slits, one per side. This is only its third wearing.
I wore the jacket done up all day, just because it fits so perfectly.
Isn't the detail nice?
I love the elbow patches and the dip down in the back hem.
Masked up.
Matchy purples.
Outerwear - I risked cold arms on the way to work, but it was easy enough to "retract" them into the cape.
After work, I was glowing and rapidly shedding gloves, beret...Sweetums is a very warm garment! A young lady exclaimed over my outfit as I was walking home, how much she loved my whole look. It's nice when people notice.
Accoutrements:
I liked how this classy Yves Saint Laurent silk scarf looked with the cape. It doesn't match...but it goes.

The stuff:

What a classsy - I mean, KLASSY - outfit! Those garms fit you beautifully and the cape is to die for! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks to the shoes and skirt, your outfit reminds me of styles from the 40s or thereabouts. The blazer is a definite keeper and both it and the skirt look MAHvelous on you! The cape is quite an eye catcher and yet it is actually quite “calm” in its presentation; must be the combination of pattern and style that calmly ups the ante.
ReplyDeleteShort and sweet but a post that still shows all the good stuff.
ReplyDeleteLove that cape.
This is classic styling with a difference! The blazer looks fantastic on, and I'm loving how it dips down in the back. The purple pencil skirt and frothy white blouse are just perfect with it.
ReplyDeleteThe cape is a delight, but I am hearing you on shedding things on your way home. Had to do the same today, with about 5°C in the morning and 20°C by midday! xxx
That cape, I could steal it from you!
ReplyDeleteSheila-la-la! Sorry if I got your name wrong before but I do know your name! I love that cape like nobody's business but the total ensemble is pure style fabulosa. And good on the person shouting their appreciation of your outfit- we need more vocal sweet spots like that!
ReplyDeleteOOo I love your ruffled shirt. You look gorgeous! X
ReplyDeleteThat blazer is so perfect on you and in this outfit, the blouse is a really fun touch with it and of course I love the cape! :)
ReplyDeleteThat blazer was made for you!
ReplyDeleteVery Chic-ly professional, and I love that gorgeous cape. Sweetums is the perfect name for it.
ReplyDeleteI love that outfit, professional but also stylish, which imo is often a rare combination XD
ReplyDeleteYou look extremely stylish for your Zoom chat! I'm not surprised people comment on how good you look, you dress so well.
ReplyDeleteYou just know I ADORE this feminine, classic, wonderfully pretty ensemble - which veers a bit into a style category that I am a huge fan of (and sometimes wear myself) called "corp (for corporate) goth".
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome pair of shoes! I love how (save perhaps for the thick anklet strap part, which reads as a touch more modern to me) they have a great mid-century style to them that instantly calls to mind many a stylish Hollywood star and "everyday woman" alike of the 1940s.
