This actually worked out perfectly, as it was sunny and windy by the end of the day.
I loved wearing this buzzard and bull sweater again - I have a black cami layered under it. You might think that I would overheat in this, but the sweater itself barely touches me, hanging lightly from my shoulders.
But let's back up and look at the skirt! This is the one I found with Emma last week, and I liked it, but it needs a hook & eye or a snap at the top of the zip to keep it from sliding down. I can fix that! I layered wee shorts for Thigh Security.
I love the back. All clothes should be this interesting!
I waggled my fins at colleague Carol, who enjoyed seeing them in person. Thanks for reading, Carol, you're the best.
Incognito.
I pulled my sleeves down and added my new-to-me crinkle black scarf. On the way home, I put the fuller ends on my back to keep the sun off. The stuff:
These shoes were fine for a day that I mostly spent at my desk. I love the wild design of them. That's a curved heel and pointy open toe, rendered in dark navy blue patent leather. Amazing.

First, the new skirt! Spotted it immediately. Second, I love a good pattern and besides the sweater’s pattern there is the pattern of the bottom front of the skirt, and the top and bottom of the back of the sweater. In other words, those wonderful V shapes! The lightening bolts are the perfect accompaniment for the Vs. :-)
ReplyDeleteCheers, Laurie
Ah, good eye, Laurie! I love it when shapes echo throughout the outfit - you've spotted all the Vs! I think maybe that is subconscious on my part, as I didn't plan it. Thank you!
DeleteThat jumper is fabulous, very Picasso-esque with that stylised bull. Well done on getting dressed for the challenges of the weather right, we've got another day of temperatures forecast to be around 30°C, it'll be a bikini for me! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's possibly the most amazing sweater I've ever owned, Vix! Enjoy your sunbathing!!
DeleteLove everything; the skirt, the sweater, the shoes and the earrings. Love that you chose dark blue shoes. You were having a very good hair day too if I may say. Not that I have ever seen you have a bad one either :). Rgds Lise
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Lise - my hair is driving me nuts right now as I'm overdue for a cut! I needed the darker shoes to balance the heavy visual weight of the sweater, but I love that you spotted that.
