Snake Bookends and a Paprika Pouf

Another week, more outfits! Today, I'm bookending my ginormous pouf skirt with snakeskin.
Someone told me I looked "sharp" today - a complete stranger! 

  • Top - Diane Von Furstenberg, thrifted; last worn here in August 2023 where I bookended it around yellow
  • Cami - thrifted, not tracked
  • Skirt - Kaliyana, consignment; purchased here for $114.99
  • Shoes - Big Presence Desmond, Fluevog, consignment; last seen here in February with purple velvet

Many of my colleagues admired the skirt. 
Viz thought I should wear green with it. 

I think I could wear pretty much everything with it, from a t-shirt to Doc Martens.
What would you wear?

I adored the humongous pockets, and it was easy to wear for work (the back did not wrinkle!).
I did find it was clingy on my nylons, as it's lined with the same fabric. That tells me it will not be in my fall/winter wardrobe - I don't want any Cling Rage developing. 

My outerwear was a mere wisp of a scarf. 
Protecting my chest from the sun. 

The stuff: 
My brain...I put it all away as soon as I finished this pic - oops! 

  • Scarf - Metropolitan Museum of Art, thrifted
  • Silver/onyx necklace - Mexican, consignment, Powell River
  • Enameled cuff - consignment
  • Silver/onyx ring - Tocara, vintage mall
  • Silver/obsidian ring - consignment
  • Red/silver bracelet - vintage mall
  • Enamel/silver ring - antique shop, Sidney
  • Silver earrings - Israeli, consignment

I love these shoes. So snaky!

  1. I knew that skirt would look fabulous on, your colleagues were right. I can imagine it looking cool with a short, boxy top and some bad ass chunky Gladiators (that's the sandals, not Russell Crowe!) Liking Vizzini's suggestion of wearing green with it, cats have a sixth sense about these things.
    Ahhh, cling rage, I hate that! xxx

  2. That skirt looks fantastic on you, Sheila, and I love how you combined it with the snaky top and shoes. But no snaky bling? xxx

  3. Ah the billowy skirt, how about a graphic tee with it and, as Vix suggested, gladiator sandals, and your stash of red jewelry including big earrings. If there is a secret (that truly works) to dealing with static cling please share! And yippee for not needing outer wear!
    Cheers, Laurie

  4. That skirt looks splendid! I couldn't wear it as I have no waist - but you do have one, and it works so well. (So, thinking about it - if I could wear it, I'd pair it with anything with a trim waist.) I love the bold colour with the snake print.

  5. I’d wear it with a waist-length jacket or top to avoid the width across the hips in back.

  7. And again a fantastic skirt, just visited your VW skirt post. And a fabulous top. Diane von Furstenberg tops always look elegant and super feminine.
