"The hallway is mine again at last!"
When I came back in, he was Getting Up To No Good.
"Rubbish, Woman. Just making sure this carpet is up to my standards."
I shooed him back inside, but he was very full of himself for escaping.
I knew today would be busy, as I basically squished three days of work into it.
Comfort and armour. And big pockets.
I wore a vintage slip under this (a recently thrifted one), as well as tights.
I adore this skirt, but I'm mostly limited to black and white with it - that blue is a tricky shade to match.
My colleague Nour admired my ensemble.
Especially the open detail on the upper shoulders of this cardigan, which is a vintage Kenzo (his name is emblazoned on the cuffs). She also liked that the front is longer than the back.
Without the cardi - I stripped it off when I got to the office in the morning
I like stripes.
Blue outerwear, and a needy kitty.
"I'm not needy - you're probably going to grab me anyway."
Such a silly boo!
This coat is the perfect match to the skirt.
I love this vintage suede coat - it's in such pristine condition too.
Accoutrements:
The stuff:
Nour and I both gushed over these boots. "They're cowboy, but not quite cowboy? And the studs!" I love chatting clothes with my coworkers.
My blues didn't match, but whatever. Ticket me, Fashion Police!
- Beret - consignment
- Scarf - Vera, vintage, Mom's
- Gloves - Parkhurst
Black and blue bling:
I confess, I did grab Vizzini and give him a cuddle. Head bonks and kisses, and happy paws ensued.
Colleague Stuart admired "that glittery necklace."

"Okay, now put me on the bed."
Which I did! And now...I'll be back in a few.
Wishing you all a fabulous rest of your week, and please do drop by on the weekend, and I will regale you with tales of adventure! Thank you so much for reading - I truly do appreciate it.
Lots of things to love here Sheila! The skirt, the boots, the necklace. Well I could gush on and on :) Have fun. Lise
ReplyDeleteI’m with Nour and Lise on admiring your ensemble! I especially like the pattern combo of the top and skirt. Am also a fan of your rings. Please, which ring is the one with two stones and a space between them?
ReplyDeleteAh, vacation days sandwiched into (and maybe around) a weekend, those are the best! Enjoy!
Cheers, Laurie
Thanks so much, Laurie! That ring is the one on the far left - I always try to list my jewelry top-to-bottom, left to right. I like that one - it fits my middle finger, and not many do as it has a big knuckle but is skinny at the base.
DeleteThanks!
DeleteOh naughty boy Vizzini! Are you going away, perhaps? If so, then perhaps he knows and wants to punish you in advance :-)
ReplyDeleteSo much to love here: the skirt, the necklace, the boots and all the shades of blue, including that fabulous coat!
Enjoy your vacation, Sheila, can't wait to hear what you've been up to! xxx
Super Bowl bound?
ReplyDeleteThat skirt worn with the fabularse suede coat & Western boots is pure magic.
ReplyDeleteNaughty Vizzini, doing a runner. Does this mean you're going away and he's spotted a travel bag?
Have a brilliant weekend, Sheila & L! xxx
Gorgeous blues-that coat is a beautyđź’™
ReplyDeletePretty skirt.. you look great.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a fabulous vacation! I am swooning over the beautiful ensemble.
ReplyDeleteEvery aspect is gorgeous (including Vizzini!). I love the blankety skirt, the almost Cowboy boots, the beautifully positioned beret, the swoonworthy suede coat, the soft cardigan! I would be discussing it with you and Nour if I were there!x
Another cool outfit - love the coat and Western boots!
ReplyDeleteNaughty Vizzini! Still adorable though. :-)
Vizzini is such a dear cat. My cat usually claws at me. She loves me and want to be with me, but at a distance. And you need a cat for cuddles!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this is not my favourite outfit, but I do like the boots a lot.

My goodness, those boots are amazing. What's it with studs right! I love studs since I discovered Metal, as in music, since I was 14! Have a good few days off!
