Another round of meetings in the office today, so I decided to dazzle our guests - with sequins!
I knew that this cardigan would work well in my wardrobe. If it goes with the pink shirt, it's a winner!
- Sequined cardigan - Zara, consignment; purchased here for $69.99
- Top - Denver Hayes, consignment; last worn here in July with palazzo pants and a bustier
- Skirt - Oska, consignment; last seen here in April with my "dinosaur" bomber jacket
- Shoes - Super Fine Cardinal, Fluevog; last worn here in July with a dark floral jumpsuit
The sleeveless top kept the cardigan from being overly warm. It's still a little too summery for something this thick, but I really wanted to wear it.
I was happy that the sequins didn't snag on each other - it was also not prickly, and the pockets were a useful size, if not in a useful position for jamming one's hands into them.
Winner!
The warm tone of the skirt emphasized the gold edging on the cardigan, and pushed me towards gold accessories.
I overheated multiple times so I made sure that my non-sequins-galore outfit was also good to go.
Incognito.
I'm excited to style up this cardigan for fall - it has so much potential.
The stuff:
People love these shoes - they are very broken in now, and very comfy.
- Belt - Deborah Marinoff, Charmant, vintage 70s, thrifted
I grabbed the belt at the last minute, in the morning.
Gold bling:
- Silver/amethyst ring - vintage mall
- Gold/amethyst ring - Frances Jewelers, c. 1965, Dad's
- Collar-points - vintage, consignment
- Necklace - Givenchy, vintage 80s, vintage fair
- Clip-on crystal earrings - Weiss, vintage 50s, vintage fair
Absolutely love this outfit—100% winner.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Lynette! This is my favourite too!
DeleteOh no I commented early this morning, first comment and it is missing. Maybe others are missing as well. Then I deleted my next one in error. Cool skirt is what I want to say 😀 Lise
ReplyDeleteI only see this comment, so all good on my end, Lise! Thanks so much! I love that skirt - what a wonderful piece it is.
DeleteStunning outfit!
ReplyDeleteThe sequinned cardigan looks fabulous styled with the pink top,
black billowy perma-crinkled skirt and jewellery.
You wear this fabulously styled outfit beautifully!
Thank you so much!
DeleteThere are many delights created by female clothes that are probably taken for granted by most cis-gender women -- such as the "rustling" of a skirt you mention here. Wearing female clothes, with their wider variety and interesting features, generates a smorgasbord of sensory pleasures. I enjoy hearing about your experiences in this regard.
ReplyDeleteI never take the sound or textile's motion/movement for granted; it's part of what I look for in clothing. I hope you are taking some time in your retirement to play with clothing and get dressed up so that you can have this same sensory experience!
DeleteThe jacket/cardigan is proportioned perfectly and is an equal partner to the nonchalant pizzazz of the entire ensemble. Each piece is a “wow” piece yet they play well with one another. The belt is included in the wow factor, helping to highlight the luscious sleeveless pink top (I love it!) and the grey crinkle skirt. I’d call this a demure boss lady outfit!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Laurie
I love the proportions of the cardigan - it's such a pretty piece. I loved wearing this outfit! Thanks so much, Laurie!
