It's super-vibrant! Is it orange? Is it red? Is it pink? YES! It's coral!
And it has ginormous pockets!
It's a silk/cotton blend with cotton lining. I realized partway through my photos that I was going to have to be bare-legged today.
Nylons are clingy with fine cotton. I slipped into a pair of silky shorts for thigh security.
I was waiting for the crosswalk after running an errand at lunch and a group of lovely ladies gasped at my outfit. "Are you a fashionista?"
Yes, of course I am! I hope that made their day - a real Fashionista sighting in the wilds of downtown Victoria! Very rare...
Incognito and kimono'd.
I have to lift the dress so that I can take my huge strides when I walk - otherwise, it hobbles my step. It's only a bother when I'm walking-as-transportation, not wearing it in the office, though.
It started cloudy and chilly this morning.
I liked how this kimono gave me a bit of warmth and full sun coverage.
The stuff:
I adore these shoes, but my feet are a bit tired after today's walking around.
Silvery bling:
I noticed that it wasn't laying fully flat on me, and felt the two little loops hiding in the back here.
I loved wearing this Goth-y necklace - I wore it in the shorter setting.
- Heart crystal bracelet - Juicy Couture, consignment
- Crystal hinged cuff - Swarovski, consignment, gift from L
- Necklace - Stella & Dot, thrifted; purchased here here for $3.95
- Earrings - thrifted, Seattle
- Anneke & Lars ring - vintage mall
- Silver/crystal ring - Soul Flower
It has ANOTHER setting, and it's shorter!
Mind blown! It's three in one!
You look just divine in this Sheila. Elegant and funky as only you can do. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteYou're too kind, thank you, Leanne!
DeleteI love this dress on you, Sheila! Beautiful fit, colour and construction. How clever that necklace is! xxx
ReplyDeleteThis is much more me than the fit and flare red dress I wore for L's birthday lunch a couple of weeks ago, Vix! Thanks!
DeleteYES you are a fashionista!

Jammy dress and elegant shoes paired with gorgeous kimono and jewelry - my favorite being the 3-layered bracelet - a definite fashionista statement! Did you give any of the ladies your card? Hmm, come to think of it, your business card should be updated to include the tag line: as seen in the pages of… (I’ve forgotten the name of the magazine!) :)
ReplyDeleteCheers, Laurie
I did not give them a card, as I was only running an errand from the office with the bare minimum, Laurie. Ha! Tweed Magazine!
DeleteSheila, my wife and I are wondering how to make a vintage clothing donation to you (2' x 2' box)? We are in Canada near Hamilton, ON. My wife thinks you have friends there? If not, no problem, just thought we'd offer.
ReplyDeleteThat is very sweet of you to think of me, but I have more vintage than I could ever possibly need or want. Please look for a vintage store near you and donate your beautiful things. Yes, your wife's right, my good friend lives in Hamilton (however, she's a bit of a pack-rat - like me!). Thank you so much for reading! <3
DeleteHaha, those ladies must have thought you are famous! But how nice is such a comment isn't it! It's a gorgeous dress, very glamorous.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a glam dress. You look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic dress. Jaw-droppingly good. And the shoes are soooo right with it.
ReplyDeleteGreetje
What a gorgeous dress. I'm absolutely loving the colour and the bell shape of the skirt. The Stella & Dot necklace is a stunner too! xxx
