Sneaking in my Friday outfit, as it's a busy weekend ahead! 
- Blazer - InWear; last seen here with pink in January
- Blouse - CABI, thrifted; last worn here for Hallowe'en in October 2022
- Skirt - Ann Taylor, thrifted; first seen here in June 2022
- Boots - Prepare Map, Fluevog; last worn here (2nd outfit) in January with white jeans
- Coat (below) - Halston, vintage 70s, consignment, Sidney; last seen here a week ago
This is another outfit produced from mucking-about in my closet the other night.
The patterned skirt - which is WOVEN, not printed, by the way - hadn't been worn yet this season.
The orange blazer has proven to be a very useful item in my wardrobe.
It really goes with everything.
The cream Victorian-ish blouse is also a staple for me.
I have a fondness for this style from when it was popular in the early 80s.
Masked up.
I ended up tucking my long blouse sleeves into the jacket's rolled up cuffs so that my bracelets were more visible.
Am I ready for Friday?
Ugh, not really - it's always a busy day for me.
I do love being Incognito again in my prescription sunnies - it's easier to people-watch when I'm out and about.
This coat has been worth every penny - I've worn it 10 times so far, bringing my cost per wear to $20.00. It is still as clean and soft as the day I bought it in November 2022.

- Silk scarf - Lanvin, vintage 70s, consignment
- Gloves - Parkhurst
- Mask - by Mom
The stuff:
The orange wooden beads and long leather laces are bundled up and tucked inside to hide them from I-think-you-can-guess-who.
Copper bling:
I had some panic this morning when an earring went errant from the pair that match the rigid hinged cuff.
- Necklace - vintage, consignment
- Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes
- Copper ring - vintage, consignment
- Hinged cuff - Matisse by Renoir, vintage 50s, vintage fair
- Earrings - vintage, vintage expo
- Wide and skinny bracelets - both Renoir, vintage 50s, vintage fairs
I found it after work, fallen into a lower drawer in its box. Phew!
Happy weekend, and may all your lost things be merely misplaced. I'll be back on Sunday with tales of adventure!
That coat was worth every penny, it looks different every time you wear it, it'll be owing you money soon!
ReplyDeleteLove the skirt, you can see it's woven rather than a print, it looks like a top quality garment.
My Grandma always told us to pray to St Anthony of Padua if we couldn't find something, apparently he's the patron saint of lost things - I'm not sure whether it'd work for me after I laughed at his terrible bowl hairdo whenever I saw statues of him in churches in Spain!
Have a fantastic weekend, my lovely friend. xxx
You look great wearing that orange blazer. Great styling. I am happy it is weekend, because I always look forward to resting and have a good sleep since I work and always go to work in the morning.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great weekend?

Nothing like a pop of orange to end the working week with. Particularly when combined with those purple boots. Such a great combo! The skirt is fabulous and I'm loving the Victorian vibes of your blouse. Fab copper bling too, what a relief the earring was merely misplaced! xxx
ReplyDeleteI love the copper jewellery so much! That necklace is striking!
ReplyDeleteThe whole outfit is really gorgeous! The orange blazer is just the best shape and the woven (!!!) skirt is really beautiful! I love a Victorian blousetoo.
The coat is such a great length!x
You always pick such nice colors. I wish you were my personal dresser. :)
