I'm trying to force the weather to get warmer by wearing summer stuff.
It's a t-shirt and a miniskirt! Maybe it will get sunny?
- Jacket - Dolce & Gabbana, vintage, thrifted; last worn here (2nd outfit) in May with pink and floral
- T-shirt - Gen-O, thrifted; first seen here in May with a big skirt and tweed jacket
- Skirt - Ann Taylor, thrifted; purchased here for $14.95
- Shoes - Effortless Vivian, Fluevog; last worn here in April with vivid pastels
It did not happen. As I type this, in the early evening the grey clouds loom and threaten to dump more rain on us.
Anyway, enough grousing, as I know others are dealing with floods, droughts, and heatwaves.
This is the first wearing of this new-to-me mini-skirt.
Lest you think I'm being scandalous, I am wearing nylons. Co-tenant Emily squealed, "It's mini-skirt day!" and showed off hers.
My colleague Gary called this look "casual" due to the studded jacket. It does have a jean jacket-ish vibe.
Without the jacket, although I never took it off.
Too cold!
I did some physical stuff in the office to warm up.
Sorted through giant cartons of reusable office supplies. Nothing goes to waste on my watch!
Ready for some sunshine.
I froze walking home in this. I wish I'd worn a coat over it.
Accoutrements:
Thank goodness for warm silk scarves.
- Scarf - Lanvin, vintage 70s, consignment
- Mask - Lazy Susan's
The stuff:
Everyone loves these shoes, from my shredder bin guy to a random dude in the elevator.
Matchy bling:
First wearing of this new-to-me necklace - it tangled with the pens I was sorting, but was otherwise good. I like long necklaces.
- Necklace - Art Collection; purchased here for $7.95
- Earrings - Plum
- Wide silver cuff - vintage, thrifted, Powell River
- Bracelet with glass stones - vintage 1920s, vintage mall
- Steel/acrylic ring - Calvin Klein, thrifted
- Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes
- Bug brooch - Le Chateau, c. 2000
(Kezzie here- Google is being mean): our weather had been very changeable although this week, we have very warm weather. I went to a concert in London last night at a huge venue and it was unbearable.
ReplyDeleteYour jacket does have denim vibes.
I really like it. It is really well fitting and a lovely colour. The new mini is fun! The shoes deserve the admiration they receive!
I love that skirt and how well the scarf compliments it! This is a really nice outfit Sheila and has me wishing for warmer weather so I could get some of my mini skirts out again! thank goodness it's back to more normal early winter temps and sunshine so I have temporarily packed away the winter woolies, haha!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Maybe the end of June will bring your summer weather. The Tshirt looks very high quality.
ReplyDeleteYou do suit a mini skirt, Sheila, and this one's fun and fabulous! I'm sorry the weather gods are still playing foul. We're having +30°C tomorrow, so I'd gladly send over some of that! I'm not surprised everybody loves does shoes, they're absolutely adorable! xxx
ReplyDeleteI love those shoes also. My swim suit has a hole in the knee, so I doubt I could rock a mini skirt, but it suits you.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute outfit - I love the pale blue with the patterned skirt. You could definitely wear that outfit here - we had a humidex of 41 degrees celsius yesterday. Fortunately today was not as hot...
ReplyDeleteI love the denim-y vibe of that jacket and you do minis so well! xxx
