Back detail.
This was a good Monday outfit. The office was quiet, although I had a couple of meetings.
The temps remain in the low double-digits, and spitty rain prevails.
I fully tucked my hair into my beret for the walk each way to keep it dry.
The stuff:
Pointy bling:
A favourite grouping.
I need to re-stitch some of the stones on the front of the gloves - an easy repair.

A very attractive Monday outfit, and that skirt has a lovely split at the back.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I always appreciate a bit split for walking!
DeleteLove that top/skirt combo, and I imagine that the textural contrast pops even more in person!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julia! The fabric portion of the top is similar to a very thin neoprene, so they work well together.
DeleteYou've got me wanting to wear red this morning, you look fab. The skirt doesn't look like neoprene, more like satin, but far more practical in the rain! x
ReplyDeleteIt's such a powerful colour, thanks, Vix! Definitely more practical than satin! No wrinkles either!
DeleteNeoprene and leather seem like an excellent combo because of their material qualities. I love the pattern of the skirt! And I've set myself a goal of mastering your method for avoiding wet hair in rain when not wearing a hooded raincoat. The trick is to have a water repellent cap into which all the hair can be tucked!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Laurie
I like the thickness of neoprene (this is about half the thickness of scuba suits) and the suppleness of leather.
DeleteWool berets are excellent for this! They are water repellant, can be shoved in a pocket and dry out fast. And I often see them for $10 and less in the thrift stores.
Thanks so much, Laurie!
I love the combination of the materials in this outfit. The length is also really nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ivana! I also like this length of skirt - not too short, not dowdy.
DeleteLovely outfit, I love there are lots of textures, fab colour combo and gorgeous jewellery!, totally perfect for a rainy Monday!

Colour is doing a lot of heavy lifting for me these days, Monica! Thank you so much.
DeleteWow, I love your red leather jacket on you! X
