Neon Leopard and Chartreuse

Woo, I am officially on holiday now! I will enjoy a day or two on my own until L joins me on our annual June Week of Vacation. 
I dressed for the occasion, plus Janet and I had rescheduled dinner for after work, so I like dressing up for her.

  • Bustier - 3.1 Philip Lim, thrifted; last worn here in February as part of my pirate outfit for the VFF Gala
  • Shirt - Rock & Republic, thrifted; last seen here in September 2023 with grey swirls and sequins
  • Trousers - Gorman, consignment; last worn here (3rd outfit) for Book Club in April 2023
  • Shoes - Fast Cards Mille Miglia, Fluevog; last seen here in September 2023 in an all-green outfit
  • Sleeveless coat (below) - Only, thrifted; last worn here in April

The office was quiet today, but the few of my colleagues there enjoyed my 'fit. 
I did this chartreuse blouse + shoes + trousers combo last time I wore these pants (see above, the "last seen here" link), only with a satin duster over them. 

I did like the addition of a block of black to help ground the neon blue/green/yellow of the leopard-print trousers, so I went with this lovely Philip Lim bustier. 
I delighted in showing the "boob pockets" in the bustier to some of my coworkers. "I can put my phone in here!"

Janet and I enjoyed a couple of hours catching up - we've been friends since she was 12 and I was 13, so for nearly 45 years. 
The time always flies. 

Outerwear - no idea what it's going to do these days. 
Sunny? Sure! Windy? Yes! Rain? Possibly! 

The stuff: 
I don't wear these green shoes very often as they are a little narrow in the toe, but I do love them. They're not as high as they look - there's a platform in the toe, so they are only a 2-inch heel.

  • Silicon bracelet - Materia Design, thrifted
  • Bangle - thrifted
  • Eelskin bangle - vintage 80s, thrifted
  • Large turquoise/silver ring - Karen's
  • Small turquoise ring - Glee
  • Earrings - Mango's
  • Discs necklace - thrifted
  • Turquoise/silver pendant - Karen's

And...I'd put all the jewelry away before I realized I'd forgotten to photograph it. Ah, well. 

I'll be popping in here and there over the next week and a half! Off to enjoy my first night of freedom!

  2. I love the color and pattern of the pants! This is a snazzy outfit and it especially appeals because it is different. It would never occur to me to add the bustier. And how perfect that the previously worn post also included the super black, white and red plaid skirt!
    Here’s to a simply delightful vacation!
    Cheers, Laurie

    What a fun and beautiful styling!
    The palazzo pants are gorgeous.
    The neon heels are just wow.
    Such a killer combo altogether.

  4. That's one fabulous colour combo, Sheila! Those trousers are magnificent, and so are the shoes: what a shame they are a little narrow in the toe :-(
    Have a fantastic vacation, my friend xxx
