As I put the clothing, shoes and the accessories together, I started leaning into the sparkle. It's going to be a sparkly day!
- Sweater - Luisa Cerano, thrifted; purchased here for $14.95
- Sleeveless shirt - Denver Hayes, consignment; last seen here in June for the Day of Indolence
- Skirt - Ted Baker, consignment, Vancouver; last worn here in March with some velvets
- Shoes - Sol Sana; last seen here (2nd outfit) in July with grommeted leather

"It's on purpose!" It keeps the proportions right - if I'd worn the sweater untucked, I would have looked unbalanced.
This gives me some shape and keeps things interesting.
I layered a sleeveless pink shirt under the loose-knit sweater for extra pizzazz.
Incognito.
No one will ever know it's me.
The stuff:
We're nearing September, which is the last month of my spring/summer wardrobe, most of which is packed away for 6 months of the year. These velvet shoes are no good in wet weather, even though I rarely venture outside in them.
Blue bling:
Even my jewelry is seasonal - I put away most of the pastels.
- Scarf - thrifted
- Necklace - thrifted
- Brooch - vintage, vintage fair
- Earrings - Sherman, vintage 1950s, thrifted
- Crystal cuff - Swarovski, consignment, gift from L
- Bracelet - Coro, vintage 70s, Mom's
- Lapis lazuli ring/Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes

I cannot resist such cuteness!
Very pretty outfit. I like it with the scarf especially. Lise
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lise!
DeleteWow! what a gorgeous outfit! Some beautiful matching going on as those beautiful shoes go so well with the skirt and of course some of my favorite blue jewelry. You look stunning and so so classy. Shazx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shaz! I do like my matchy-matchy!
DeleteThat skirt is the perfect length and fit for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteHis adorableness looks like he has on 2 pearly white slippers! Ha, I probably see that because just beyond are your red slip-ons, so of course Vizzini is wearing slippers. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBetween the soft colors and patterning of your skirt, the sparkliness of the top, the blues of your jewelry and the softness of the velvet shoes, your outfit has me thinking of a gentle summer-to-fall evening sky. Mmm. :-)
Cheers,
Laurie
Don't you love those little white feet? So cute!
DeleteThanks so much, Laurie! I've actually compared the skirt's pattern to a fall sunset before.
I'm loving the muted colours, sparkle and proportions of this outfit, Sheila! Can't believe we're about to enter the last month of your Spring/Summer wardrobe! Where does the time go? I for one haven't even worn a fraction of this season's clothes, which probably means I've got too many of them :-) Aww, look at Vizzini helping you choose! xxx
ReplyDeleteI know, Ann, where did that time go?? I'm just getting to the point where I want to wear things a second time, and I'm not going to be able to! Vizzini, ever so helpful, lol.
DeleteI love your new sparkly sweater. Beautiful pattern pencil skirt and shoes as well.
ReplyDeleteI always love your accessories and jewelry. In this outfit in particular. Gorgeous necklace and earrings. The long necklace gives such chic vibes to this look. It makes me think of art deco and the jazz era fashion.
Thank you, Ivana! I pick out my jewelry after the outfit, usually. I love long necklaces because they remind me of the 1920s flapper/deco/jazz era fashion.
DeleteP.S. Who could resist Vizzini?
ReplyDeleteNo one!
DeleteNice outfit. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThe colour and texture combination gave me a very soothed feeling Sheila, such a lovely look. And thanks for the tip about the side tuck-in, that’s a great one for trying to maintain the one third to two thirds proportion rule with mid-length tops!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got an inspiration from this look, Leanne! You said it better than I did!
DeleteA very matchy matchy outfit, which I love. I only change my clothes when it's really too cold to wear summer clothes. But that will probably not take long. Enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteLol, I still love my matchy-matchy, Nancy. I like a defined end to each season, so that I don't get lazy and just...not switch my closet over!
DeleteLovely matchy outfit, you make those pastels shine!, totally fab accessorizing and matchiness!. And such a great tip to wear your sweater partially tucked, love it!.
ReplyDeletebesos
It keeps it from looking too slouchy, doesn't it? I was pleased with my tuck! Thank you!
DeleteI love the outfit. I had to laugh when I read that your coworker informed you that your sweater was tucked into your skirt on one side. Very sweet but also very funny.
ReplyDeleteGreetje
Isn't that funny? I knew someone would get that.
DeleteThat photo of Vizzini just melts my heart.
ReplyDeleteLove these icy shades on you, you look so pretty! xxx
He looks like a little prawn, all curled up, doesn't he? Thank you!
