And I must apologize - I'm in one of those "lows" where I just don't have the energy to respond to comments, and I know I'm behind on reading/commenting on my friends' blogs. Thank you for understanding.

I adore this bold plaid skirt - it has lines of blue and red in it, so I've always done those as the matchy/contrast colours.
I also didn't get to wear this awesome studded leather jacket much last year (I bought it late in the season).
Swoon! The studs go all the way around, even on the back of the neck.
Outerwear - more big plaid!
I don't usually wear capes or ponchos during my work-week, as they look odd with my backpack (used for carrying my good shoes to/from work).
And they don't snag my hair, bonus.
Incognito. Eh, didn't care that much about that today - it rained all day.
My arms are hiding under the fleece-backed fabric in the secret pocket.
Accoutrements:
The stuff:
Big blue shoes! I ran all over the office today, up and down ladders, up and down many flights of stairs. I promise softer shoes tomorrow, Feet.
Same old things - I wear my favourites to death!

Silver and blue bling:
Bold pieces for bright colours.

Your blog picks me up when my mood is low energy, and I am imagining that this is true not just for me. Hopefully our comments reciprocate and help to boost your low energy. Somehow, even though it’s all in the virtual world, your blog posts and reader’s comments make it feel like we are gathering for a nourishing cup of [fill in your favorite beverage] while sprawled comfortably in a shared space having a relaxed conversation. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the pops of blue in your shoes and blouse!! And the combining of the plaids for your skirt and cape! Also appreciate your patterned stockings. Very classy!
Cheers, Laurie
Loving the double tartan, you certainly look ready to take on the world even if you're not feeling it. xxx
ReplyDeleteLove all the bright plaid! So cheery!
ReplyDeleteI'm hearing you on lacking the energy to respond to comments. I did a catch-up a couple of weeks ago, and now I'm behind yet again! Also hearing you on the "lows" ...
ReplyDeleteYour outfit, however, is a definite mood booster! Loving all the colours and the double dose of plaid! xxx
Das Überkleid sind wirklich sehr bequem aus, auch die cremeweiße Farbe steht dir sehr gut. LG Romy
ReplyDeleteHello Sheila,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your blog, which I read a lot-love your clothes, cat, and stories of your life in BC. I'm also a Fluevog collector, although my collection pales in comparison. Really love those Warhols, which I don't have but can admire from afar.
Anyway, I haven't commented until now, but as I've sat here enjoying it all, I felt it was time to say hello and thank you for creating this, and I hope the blues are gone soon.
Stephanie
I think Laurie and Stephanie have hit the nail on the head - even if you don't feel like you have any energy for all that extra blog world stuff, just seeing your lovely outfits and smiling face gives people all around the world a boost. So rest up, spend energy on what you can in the moment, and don't worry about blog land. We will always love you and your blog Sheila! :)
