I like layering sweater-weight tops over blouses - it's a warm extra layer and visually interesting. And a good spot for a brooch!

I wore sweater vests in the early days of my blog (here's an outfit from 2010) and have come around to them again after a gap of several years.
The black satin blouse continues to be amazing.
The top half felt more formal than the bottom.
I would wear this with trousers next time or a pencil skirt.
Not to disparage the lovely mustard ruffles of this high-low mullet skirt - I felt good in this.
I like the overall look with the bomber jacket.
More black and white - mix 'em up!
Incognito.
I delighted in the the swoosh of the skirt as I walked around the office, and to and from work.
The stuff:
My colleague Leah exclaimed over my shoes - more black and white pattern. They've been with me for seven years and are still looking and feeling great.
Bold bling:
I folded the graphic scarf into a triangle and knotted it at the back of my neck. Note that the pink in it matches the pink flowers on the skirt - this pleases me immensely.

Excellent outfit! I would love to wear everything! The skirt looks amazing, just the right shade of yellow for me. Aren't the temps that high at your part of the world?
ReplyDeleteNope, it's been pretty mild for the last week or so. We're supposed to have a really hot, dry summer, though (yikes). Thanks, Nancy!
DeleteAgreed that the top half is more tailored. To my eye the shoes are also more tailored so they sandwich the skirt just right! You look nice and cozy, which I especially appreciate as it’s chilly here in NY. Brrr.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Laurie
It's a ruffle sandwich, ha ha! Thanks, Laurie. Hope you get some warmer weather soon - summer is here!
DeleteAnother fabulous outfit, Sheila! I'm loving the combo of the ruffled skirt with the bomber jacket! xxx
ReplyDeleteEverything Ann said! That skirt's so pretty! xxx
ReplyDeleteI really like that skirt, and the print mixing with the striped top! The bomber jacket is such a good topper as well. It's quickly become a very cold winter here so I'm all about the jackets!
