Cerise and a Silver Shrug

Woo, back at work after 4 days off was exhausting! Thank goodness I am immediately off on Thursday - I really can't complain too much.

The outfit was created around this new silk cherry red top, thrifted a few weeks back.

• Shrug - Le Chateau, thrifted; last seen here in June 2021 over my Etro dress
• Silk top - Ted Baker, thrifted; purchased here for $9.95
• Pants - Joie, consignment; last worn here in February with grey and black
• Sandals - Via Spiga, consignment; first seen here (3rd outfit) for L's birthday party

It's one of those "halter" necklines that were super-popular in the mid-00s. I wore this one in April 2008, and noted then that I had to do some creative "bra strapping"...and I remember why I don't like these tops! 

So, much as I love the colour, I will be moving this silk blouse off to Limbo for someone else to love. 

I did enjoy wearing a SHRUG again! It's been 4 years since I last wore this, and it functioned well, keeping my arms and shoulders covered from the sun. It's a soft grey knit, with silver threads woven throughout. It's probably 25 years old now! 

Do you think shrugs will come back? I predict yes! Everything comes around again eventually. 

Incognito, and some extra sun coverage with my YSL scarf.

Trying to look excited about going back to work. 

Accoutrements and stuff: 

My first wearing of these sandals out of the house, and they worked well at the office. I have yet to test them on a walk or short shop, but that will happen this summer, I'm sure. 

Silvery bling: 

Bits of silver to go with the light grey shrug.
