This flowy and billowy outfit matched my state of mind, and I always feel good in red. This is a lovely bright shade.

With angles! Who doesn't love angles?
The palazzo pants are billowy silk, with big pockets and an elastic waist. I've had them since 2017 and have worn them 10-11 times.
This is the first time I've worn them with red - I matched the border stripe.
I loved the angled back on the tunic too. Angles!
Incognito - it was a bit chilly still today.
Hotter weather is on the way!

Your opening paragraph illustrates what I learned late in life -- women's fashion, with its creativity and opportunity for personal expression, helps us psychologically as well as sartorially. Dressing, and even just planning outfits, can fulfill us in valuable ways. In my view the activity is art on a personal level. Thanks for demonstrating this!
ReplyDeleteI should really take a leaf out of your book and create some outfits for the week ahead during the weekends, but I've been feeling a bit uninspired lately. I'm blaming it on the weather!
ReplyDeleteYour closet play has most definitely paid off, as this is such a fun and fabulous outfit. I'm instantly cheered up by the sight of it. I always forget what a wonderful combo red and turquoise is, so thank you for the reminder! xxx
I love this outfit!
ReplyDeleteJust an amazing outfit!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous moutfit. Those trousers remind me of something Diana Rigg would have worn in Evil Under The Sun!
ReplyDeleteYour shoes don't look like they've been worn 50 times, they're immaculate! xxx
Beautiful trousers and I love the turquoise shoes! x
ReplyDeleteI love this combination Sheila! That tunic is so fun with the printed pants, and you look incredibly stylish (as you always do!). I take after my grandma I think in that I like playing in my wardrobe and planning outfits - it's fun and relaxing for me too, and it helps in the crazy mornings trying to get myself and the kids ready and out the door. Definitely a good thing to do for mental health!
ReplyDeleteI love this combination. The colours (that blue and red), the shapes! Ever so nice. This is a winner.
