Fancy Friday: Sunnies Needed - Neon Zebra Bookends

Happy weekend, my friends! Put on your sunglasses - or sunnies, as the cool kids say - because I wore an eye-searing outfit today.

"OH MY GOD, LOOK AT YOU!" shouted my colleague Sheila (yes, there are two of us!) when she saw me this morning. 

• Jacket - Ted Baker, consignment; first worn here in July 2021 with these same shoes
• Jumpsuit - Sunday Best, Aritzia, thrifted; purchased here for $24.95
• Shoes - Mellow Bossa Nova, Fluevog; last seen here in July 2021...with this jacket
• Sleeveless coat (below) - Only, thrifted; last worn here in April

It doesn't come across anywhere near as bright as it is in real life. This is NEON. 

I played around in my closet with my new-to-me zebra jumpsuit, and lit upon this awesome Ted Baker neon orange jacket.

It's such a beautiful fit (with pockets), and I love that I have a bookend pair with the shoes. It's a quick and easy outfit formula, which is why I wore them together in the jacket's first outfit.

I am thrilled with this jumpsuit, although it wrinkles if you look at it, but the hypno-zebra print is a sufficient distraction. 

I wore a tank-style black camisole under it, both for warmth and to make this more office-appropriate in case of jacket gaping. 

I opened the jacket and flashed the full jumpsuit for several of my colleagues, as well as the floral lining of the jacket (check it out here).

Masked up - this is how most people saw me today. 

It made me happy to see so many people smile just from my outfit. I spent my day in a good mood, and trying to bounce that back to my awesome colleagues. 

Incognito/outerwear. 

I added darker orange bits for the chilly morning. This sleeveless coat has been a very useful purchase.

Accoutrements:

The pink scarf inspired me to wear bright pink lipstick. 

• Scarf - Marc Rosier, vintage 80s, thrifted
• Gloves - consignment
• Mask - by Mom

The stuff: 

As with many Fluevogs, you love 'em or hate 'em. L loathes these, but I love them. They're like wearing flats...only I'm tall (I'm 5'4"). The soles are solid rubber and very bouncy.

Black bling: 

Quality pieces. 

• Gold "fang" bangle and matching earrings - Alexis Bittar, consignment, gift from L
• Black/crystal bangle - Alexis Bittar, consignment, Sidney
• Ring - Calvin Klein, thrifted

Have a great weekend, my friends! Thank you all so much for visiting my little corner of the blogosphere - I appreciate you all.
