St. Patrick's Day Teal

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'm aware of an Irish grandmother on my Dad's side so I always wear some green on the day. 

I leaned more into the teal than the green, giving me the opportunity to wear this lovely Desigual coat at last.

• Coat - Desigual; last worn here (2nd outfit) in February 2024 with the same blouse and shoes!
• Blouse - Nygard, consignment; last seen here in November 2024 with a plaid skirt and leather jacket
• Suede skirt - Guillaume, vintage 90s, consignment, Powell River; last worn here in February for Pink Shirt Day
• Shoes - Chanii B; last seen here in January with aqua leopard

I bought this coat in 2011 to celebrate getting my current job - my anniversary was this week.

Where the heck has the time gone? 

I wore the coat all day, as it was a little chilly in the office. 

It's such a spectacular piece, but I let it down in front - this is too much dark. 

The back is stunning. 

So pretty! 

Without the coat and this confirms it. This blouse is out - it's just too boring and blah. I have better tops. 

I liked the skirt, a very comfy suede. 

Done up. I popped a button - it's in my pocket - so I only did the coat up to mid-chest. 

The pockets are just big enough for a phone and keys. 

Incognito. 

It wasn't rainy but it was chilly in the morning. 

Accoutrements: 

This massive scarf kept my chest warm. 

• Scarf - Givenchy, consignment, gift from L
• Wool gloves - Parkhurst

The stuff: 

Sneaking in another wearing of these lovely teal shoes. They've been worn with the Desigual coat many times - they're old friends. 

Minimal bling: 

I missed a belt and a necklace. Oh well, moving on. 

• Beetle brooch - Le Chateau, 2005ish
