Long Leopard With Grey/Blue at the Theatre

Another week, but it's a short one! I have Friday off, so only one more day to go and it's another weekend for me. 
I felt like I needed to go the opposite of red/pink. Grey and blue! 

  • Blazer - Jacob, thrifted; first seen here in October 2024 with cow-print and cashmere
  • Crinkle top - Baden Baden, consignment; last worn here in November 2025 under my snake jacket
  • Skirt - Laundry by Shelli Segal, thrifted; purchased here for $13.00
  • Shoes - Big Presence Desmond, Fluevog; last seen here in December 2025 with floral and pink
  • Suede coat (below) - Tadmor, vintage 60s, vintage mall; last worn here in January

Yet another office-y blazer that I rarely wear. I bought this grey long-line blazer to replace one I used to have (a moth-eaten Vivienne Westwood)...and I never wear it. So guess what?? Off to Limbo it goes! 
I still adore the black crinkle top, and this ultra-swooshy pleated blue leopard skirt really rang my bell. 

If you didn't think it looked that swooshy, allow me to show it off. 
It's massive! 

Incognito.
It was a little on the chilly side today. Up-Island got snow! 

The stuff: 
I didn't do a lot of walking in the shoes, but they did look pretty peeking out from under the skirt.

  • Fur scarf - thrifted
  • Faux fur hat - M&S, consignment, Powell River
  • Leather gloves - Dots

Blue bling: 
Every piece a favourite.

  • Rohesia Belt - Fluevog; last seen here in August 2025
  • Crystal bracelet - Swarovski, consignment, gift from L
  • Silver/lapis lazuli bracelet - Nepalese, consignment
  • Silver/kyanite ring - consignment
  • Fulvia Ring/lapis lazuli ring - Wendy Brandes
  • Glass earrings - local
  • Necklace - Heidi Daus, thrifted

I changed into walking boots when I got home and hoofed it to the Fernwood Inn where I met up with our pals for dinner before seeing the Belfry Theatre production of "Maanomaa, My Brother" (local preview here) which was very good. 
The boots I bought specifically to beat them up! 

  • Boots - Groovy Huysmans, Fluevog; last worn here in January for our trip to Powell River

I also switched from backpack to purse.
And there's the brooch I had on - I forgot to take it off my blazer lapel. 

  • Purse - Coach, thrifted
  • Brooch - Boucher, vintage 60s, thrifted

Some of my lovely theatre people.
From left: Rosanna, Cat, Randall, Yvonne and me. 

I took a couple of quick pictures of Rosanna's outfit because it was so amazing. 
That's a Raphael of Canada copper necklace and an Etro blazer - both thrifted!

The dress is a shoulder-padded beauty from the 80s in a dark glitter green. 
You can kind of see the low V on the hips - she bought this in Sidney on our big fall shopping trip. 

This is for Bushlady who wanted to see when I used a bull-dog clip on my skirt. I tried to get a picture...
As you can see, I had help! The kittens were very excited to see me.

  2. Good riddance to the blazer, after all, it’s grey! As for the skirt, it’s a beauty! Thoughts on next time wearing a top to bookend those fabulous blue shoes? It won’t surprise me if you’ve already worn such a combo and I’m simply not remembering. ;)
    I like the polka dot stockings worn by Rosanna!
    And yay for your Theatre Family! Our one local theatre mostly caters to family fare. Musicians also are featured but the music is often not to our taste.
    Nice hair trim! Enjoy your shorter work week! Cheers, Laurie

  4. This leopard maxi is amazing. You look fantastic.
    Rosanna also looks fabulous in her outfit!

  5. That skirt is gorgeous and looks great with the rest of the outfit (including the bulldog clip!) I think the coat and hat give a good "Dr. Zhivago" flavour to the ensemble. (I wonder if Lara had a skirt so long that it needed a bulldog clip?)
