Blue and Orange and Sparkly

This outfit is full of favourites, including one of the best colour combos: blue and orange. 

"And grey."

I had assistance today. Hello, Whateley! 

• Wool cardigan - Ports International, vintage 80s, consignment; last worn here in July with silk palazzo pants and a bustier
• Silk blouse - Zoe + Sam, thrifted; last seen here in June, layered under a red sweater
• Skirt - Culture, Dots; last worn here (2nd outfit) in March with blue silk and velvet and fringe
• Shoes - Go Groovy Aubrey, Fluevog; last seen here in October for brunch in bronze
• Leather trenchcoat (below) - vintage 70s, thrifted; last worn here a week ago for Mom-Day

I layered a silk and lace cami under the thin citrus orange silk, then wrapped myself in this cozy wool long cardigan. Pockets! 

The skirt is stretchy velvet with iridescent small paillettes that are blue on one side and orange on the other - you can see the sparkly flash of them. My colleagues loved it.

Best blue ever! 

I just felt like wearing bold orange shoes. 

This leather trenchcoat is going to be getting a lot of wear in the next couple of days, as we are beset by an Atmospheric River. I can hear it raining! 

There are giant puddles everywhere, but my feet stayed dry in my Doc Martens. I usually don't wear my good shoes in the weather unless it's dry. 

The stuff: 

I take my accessory pictures when I get home from work, which is why my beret is wet. My hair stayed dry tucked up inside it! 

• Jets scarf - Givenchy, consignment, gift from L
• Angora beret - Parkhurst, vintage, thrifted

Sparkly bling: 

The weight of these pieces felt good.
