I built the outfit around this new-to-me peachy-pink silk top.
- Jacket - Prosperity, consignment; last worn here in April 2023 with blue Versace pants
- Top - Marc Cain, thrifted; purchased here here for $14.95
- Skirt - Danier Leather, thrifted; last seen here here (2nd outfit) in February with shades of teal
- Shoes - Sol Sana; last worn here here in April with a black and white circle skirt
Isn't the jacket cool? It has stars, constellations and planets on it.
Not Adidas, despite the stripes.
Here's the top on its own.
It's...fine.
Very shiny.
I wore a camisole under it.
I'll be able to get my $15 back on it easily, I think.
The skirt is a mix of leather and thick stretch fabric. Every so often, I really need a black skirt!
Done up for the rain. I clipped my hair up under the hat to keep it dry.
And I wore my new-to-me Valentino mermaid scarf, which was snuggly warm. I like the juxtaposition of space - the furthest reaches of exploration! - with the sea theme of the scarf.
Accoutrements.
...To the deepest depths of the sea, where the nipple-less mer-people live!
- Hat - Delux, Saanich Fair, c. 2008
- Silk scarf - Valentino, consignment; purchased here here on the weekend for $38.00
- Brooch - Sara Coventry, vintage, vintage fair
The brooch looks like a spiral galaxy.
The stuff:
Still hanging onto these shoes, as this is a very useful shade of pink.
Blue and green bling:
The earrings reminded me of comets!

I popped into Rich Rags on the way home to see if a dress was still there that I'd seen last week. I have a party coming up (nautical/tropical theme), and I'd passed this up when I had a browse on Friday after work.
"This isn't edible!"
No, it's not edible, but it does have sailboats on it. That's what the pattern is.
It's 100% cotton
That's a large small - an oxymoron!
It's by Animale, and the lovely folks at Rich Rags gave me 10% off, so it was $54.00.
It's a very pretty dress on (I like the square neckline), although it doesn't have pockets. I may only wear it once...or it might be a Jammy Dress!
Hi Shiela! I love how you're not too sentimental about clothes. If you don't absolutely love it, it's out of your closet! Do you sell some pieces? X
ReplyDeleteHi, Jess, yes, I have started selling stuff in real life - both to consignment stores (just House of Savoy so far) and to friends. I don't sell online at all, and no plans to.
DeleteFor this outfit I delighted in the matchy top and shoes but so long top, out you go! Nonetheless, the outfit appeals, and with the jacket off you look very professional. Absolutely super bling, I like the colors, shapes, and what I call ‘warm weather weight’ meaning nothing too heavy looking. (We are having a week of sun and temps in the high 70s/low 80s.)
ReplyDeleteBetween the dress you bought on this outing and the previous haul of red and white (skirt and top) I spy more than one outfit for the upcoming nautical themed gathering….
Cheers, Laurie
Having a short week myself, I know exactly what you mean!
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame the shiny top isn't a keeper, but obviously you know best. Apart from that, the outfit is absolutely perfect. The space jacket is very cool indeed, and how gorgeous is that mermaid scarf - I just realized I forgot to mention it in my comment on your previous post! xxx
The space jacket is dreamy. I love the print and the length!
ReplyDeleteShame the top is not a keeper but it's good you are able to resell it...hopefully!
The Animale dress is a lovely shape. My money is on it being a jammy dress!
Hope you are well!

The mermaid scarf is fabulous and works really well with your space inspired outfit. Shame about the top - it's a gorgeous colour!
ReplyDeleteThat long jacket is so pretty....a fabulous outfit!
