This lovely blue/tan/cream/brown zig-zag sweater needed to be worn again. I wore a full long-sleeved thin top underneath (I chose a black lace one) to keep from being itchy - I don't mind a little tickle from wool, so that worked perfectly.
The folds and flaps on the skirt were fun to play with, and my colleagues admired it (and my shoes, which always get a lot of love).
I pushed it again weather-wise, but layering this suede over the thick sweater kept me plenty warm.
I draped my coat over the back of my chair so it could be seen in meetings and so I could shake the fringe.
A few snuggly bits and I'm good to go.
The extra pockets in the skirt were awesome for holding my phone.

The boys almost exclusively sleep on L's couch with him in the evenings.

Heh, I get my time, it's true.
Barnabas has been practicing his posing.
"I'm sitting!"
Such a funny boy!
I love that zig zag sweater, and the overall combinations work really well. That is the cutest photo of the "boys", looking wise and inscrutable. Barnabas is really working on his poses, isn't he?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! This was a very soothing outfit. Barnabas is the goofiest cat I've ever had - such a funny thing.
DeleteWhat a poser haha! Love the skirt. Perfect for your collection as it is going to work so well in your sporty 'uniform' too.
ReplyDeleteHe's not ready for his Vogue cover yet, Lise, ha ha! Thank you - yes! that's what I was thinking too!
DeleteI see why the shoes always attract attention, the shoe color was the first thing I noticed. The second item to catch my eye was the pearl bracelet. That's a power bracelet in my mind and a fun bracelet, as well; a perfect combination. It took me a few re-looks at your outfit to decide that is one spiffy skirt with seemingly much potential for different tops. And of course, the pockets are the icing and the cherry on top. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe still have the snow and the very cold temps but at least there is sunshine! And as of now the weekend is looking calm or at most 2 inches of new snow.
Cheers, Laurie
That skirt is everything…
