I love an easy outfit for a Monday, don't you?
- Jacket - Tahari, consignment; last seen here in March 2022 with florals
- Sparkly tee - Ted Baker, consignment; last worn (and Flashbacked) here in May 2022 with navy and blue velvets
- Skirt - Babaton, consignment; first seen here in November with stripes and chunky shoes
- Shoes - Room 502 Entrance, Fluevog; last worn here in December 2022 with the S Dress
- Coat (below) - Tadmor, vintage 60s, vintage mall; last seen here a couple of weeks ago
A stretchy, comfy pleated skirt. Swooshy pleats for the win!
I wore a vintage slip under it all.
Masked up.
And zipped up. I don't wear it like this in the wild, as it's a wee boob-smushy. Only when I'm in outerwear mode.
Outerwear! Ta-dah!
This coat is softening up nicely - it's good quality suede leather.
Accoutrements:
Soft things.
- Toque - gift from Tammy
- Brooch - Monet, vintage fair
- Scarf - thrifted
- Gloves - thrifted
- Mask - by Mom
The stuff:
This is it, the last wearing of these lovely purple booties? shoe-booties? shoots? Whatever you call them, they are too darned high! This is their 22nd wearing, and they've had a good run.
To enjoy them in their full glory, and bid them a fond adieu, feel free to revisit the last few outfits in the picture links below, and the full Flashback of the previous 17 outfits here.
I have my eye on a new pair of purple Fluevogs, a velvet low-heeled shoe in deep purple velvet from their upcoming Jimi Hendrix collection, part two...and I have a stash of unspent gift cards! We'll see if I can wait till our anniversary for my next pair!
Silvery bling:
Lots of detail, that's what I like.
- Belt - B-Low the Belt, thrifted
- Crystal hinged cuff - Swarovski, consignment, gift from L
- Heart cuff - Juicy Couture, consignment
- Anneke & Lars ring - vintage mall
- Silver/amethyst ring - vintage mall
- Earrings - thrifted
- Umbrella pin - vintage 1920s, vintage mall, gift from L
Goodbye beautiful purple shoes!! I've enjoyed your tenure!
ReplyDeleteWhat I'm loving even more is the loud array of fabrics this outfit is combining! Gawjus!
I like that belt particularly- tis very striking and opulent!
I see purple suede and it makes me sad as I lost one of a pair of much beloved and comfy purple,suede boots! Kxx
It's hard to get some colours right, isn't it, particularly on a dark day. I love the sound of a rich violet purple velvet, though, and that pleated skirt looks utterly comfy and swooshy.
ReplyDeleteYour suede coat, like a lot of your outerwear, is giving me serious coat envy!
Such a shame about the shoes, but I'm hearing you: they would definitely be too high for me too. Can't wait to see the Fluevogs you've got your eye on. I don't think I've ever owned a pair of purple shoes or boots. xxx
I love black, but rarely wear it these days as I feel it makes my complexion look a little washed out. Assuming you skirt is black, that's a good way to wear it with a little subtle sparkle and a deep purple. Beautiful earrings and I'm loving that cute vintage umbrella pin! x
ReplyDeleteThe skirt is dark grey! Thank you!
DeleteI like the richness of this outfit with the purple and greys and the texture! It's a shame those boots aren't working for you any more, I hope you manage to get the flatter pair you have your eye on to replace these :)
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed hard to see the purple but I'll take your word for it. Well styled.

I love those bruise-like colours. Winter's a nightmare for us poor bloggers, the colours never stay true in the dingy light.
ReplyDeleteTwenty-two wears in a good innings for those lovely shoes, I'm sure it won't take long to find a groovy replacement. xxx
