Today's outfit was built for comfort. This awesome velour (so Klassy!) top is like wearing pajamas.
I wore the waist higher during the day after seeing these pictures, more like this.
The skirt is a thick stretchy tube.
Black and white, can't go wrong.
No doubt it's meant to show off my ripped abs when I wear super-low-waisted jeans, hee hee.
Outerwear, selected so that it would not cling to the velour top.
I don't want an episode of Velour Rage (a cousin of Velvet Rage).
Incognito.
I wore my hood up for sprinkles of rain in the morning.

I love a stripe. Aww The Cat in the Hat - :) (fond memories). Lise
ReplyDeleteCat in the Hat or Beetlejuice, either way that skirt's such fun. I got stuck inside my military jacket last week as I was wearing a velvet dress underneath it, Jon had to pull me out. I thought of you and Velvet Rage. xxx
ReplyDeleteHa! I used to love reading Cat in the Hat to our son when he was tiny. Great outfit; I can just feel the softness of that top! x
ReplyDeleteOh my, yes, Cat In the Hat! This is every bit as wonderful as yesterday’s outfit - the color, stripes, black and white, eye catching stockings and simply super boots! I concur with wearing the brilliant red top higher up on the waist, makes for nice proportions. :) Plus the whole outfit looks so comfortable, my kind of fall outfit.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Laurie
I find velour very warm and cozy….I love the stockings!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun outfit, Sheila! Black, white and a generous dollop of red: it's making my heart sing. And yes, I can definitely see the Cat in a Hat vibes. I'm a fan of Dr. Seuss, who I think is absolutely brilliant. Loving the boots, the lacy tights and your snaky bling too, and well done on avoiding an episode of velour rage! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's totally Dr Seuss! I love it! You look brilliant! I would totally have stroked it too!x
