It irks me that all of the pinks in this outfit look like different shades in the pics - they were nearly identical in person, as my coworkers noted.

I am a fan of the contrast of the sporty jacket with the metallic green lace skirt.
It's one of the few lace pieces I have in my closet.
I believe this is its 22nd wearing?
That's awesome.
Jungle print plus geometry in the gridded sleeves.
I didn't wear the jacket done up at all. Maybe next time.
Showing off the pockets.
Trying work up enthusiasm for my day. Work, oh yay.
All this pink does make me feel happier though.
Accoutrements:
More pink.

I wore the brooch at the collar of the shirt, a favourite 80s accessory style.
I wish when I'd found the twin of your Adidas jacket it had fitted me (although the woman I sold it to looked amazing in it) I love that you went overboard on the green accessories, fabulously spring like! xxx
ReplyDeleteAy yi yi, I may be slowly becoming a fan of your Adidas pieces!! This jacket is grand and patterned on the front AND the back, plus it has pockets, a ‘just right’ combo!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Laurie
I love this pink and green combo. You look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThis is a true "Sheila" outfit -- so creative and unique. Love the juxtaposition of casual and elegant, love the colour mix and the gorgeous accessories.
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous mix of textures, patterns, pinks and greens! I absolutely approve of your green bling, and it was lovely toe see the fuzzy flamingo, perhaps for its final wearing this season? xxx
ReplyDeleteNo way, Ann! The Fuzzy Flamingo still likely has months of wear - it's actually quite thin, being a proper "church coat", so perfect for this time of year.
DeleteI had the jacket version of your coat and literally wore it to shreds. Pink and green is such a great combination.
ReplyDeleteLove this color combination!
ReplyDeletePink makes me happy too! I really do need to try pink and green more often though, you look fabulous in this combination and the sport jacket with that lace skirt works so well!
ReplyDeleteLovely colour combo and such a fab Adidas jacket (it made me remember your 'fake Gucci' bomber jacket, as I miss it!). Love that lace&sporty vibe, so fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAlso love the brooch at the collar of the shirt!
