Wearing this wonderfully rich leather skirt again - it's only been worn once and deserves to shine.
- Silk blouse - Ralph Lauren, vintage 00, consignment; purchased here for $42.00

I bookended my recently-found brown paisley ruffled silk blouse with the perfectly matching boots.
The wine skirt toughens it up and gives it a rock and roll look, which I like.
The skirt has nice big pockets.
"What's that crash?"
Sorry, no kitten pictures, as my time was taken up in the morning by moving some things around so that they couldn't jump on top of a shelf. Nothing was broken!
Incognito.
I loved wearing this gorgeous woven Welsh wool coat again.
The stuff:
My feet are very tired after a day of much activity. I promise more comfy shoes for tomorrow's Mom-Day Adventure, feet.

Fabulous Autumna tones in this outfit, Sheila! The clasps on the skirt give it a great 1960s vibe.
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten how crazy kittens are! xxx
Thanks so much, Vix! I was enchanted with this skirt when I found it - but functional clasps would have been nice.
DeleteOMG, they are such bundles of energy!
Your outfit says Autumnal festivus! I like the juxtaposition of pieces – the ruffles with the leather skirt with the closures of the skirt and the style of the boots. Barnabas strikes me as the perfect cat for this outfit. :-)
ReplyDeleteSadly, am sufficiently allergic to wool to not be able to wear coats but WOW your coat is a beauty!
Cheers, Laurie
Yes, very much! I love all these rich colours together. Ha, both of my boys are neutrals - they both go with every outfit! :)
DeleteAw, that continues to suck. Welsh wools are the best.
My daughter-in-law wears wool and I vicariously greatly appreciate not only the warmth it provides her but also the wonderful colors of wool.
DeleteThis outfit is truly stunning, Sheila! And ooh, another one of your Welsh wool outerwear pieces is back!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that nothing was broken, but it was probably a wise move things out of harm's way :-) xxx
Yes, I'm making sure I get them all worn, Ann! A poncho and a cape to go!
DeleteI've rearranged things and lifted all the lights out of their reach now. Should be safe...hahaha!!
I knew that coat was Welsh before I even read the caption. I made a lovely red cape with Welsh fabric back in my 20s. Why did I not keep it?
ReplyDeleteOnce you know the look of Welsh weaves, they are easy to spot! I have regrets over not buying this same cape in red and black (with a matching purse!!!) in Vancouver years ago, but it was $125...which doesn't seem as much now as it did then.
DeleteI love everything that has gold on it. Fabulous skirt!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Nancy!
