Baroque Blouse and Orange Boss Pants

Only two more weeks until my Spring/Summer Closet Swap-Over and I'm having fun now, playing with re-wearing some of my favourites. 
But of course, I had to wear this Baroque blouse RIGHT AWAY. 

  • Blouse - Miss Ann, vintage 90s, vintage fair; purchased here for $10.00
  • Sleeveless shirt - Le Chateau, thrifted; last worn here in April 2025 with the dinosaur bomber jacket
  • Trousers - Long Tall Sally, consignment; last seen here (3rd outfit) for the Fluevog Flummunity Fest in October 2015
  • Shoes - Chanii B; last worn here in December 2025 with neon leopard
  • Coat (below) - Cache, consignment; last seen here in October 2025

I decided to let it hang open, with only the top button done up. 
The kitties helped me with my pics today! 

I layered a dark green sleeveless blouse underneath.
The orange Boss Pants were a perfect match. 

I mean...wooo! What a blouse. 
There were very few of my colleagues in the office today, but Emily admired it.

Leopard and a panther! 

Showing off the red lining for you. 
This outfit made me ridiculously happy. 

The --WHATELEY!
Get off the table! 

The stuff: 
Excellent shoes. 

  • Silk scarf - Schiaparelli, consignment, Powell River
  • Wool gloves - Parkhurst

Bold bling: 
I felt very clever, layering the necklace under the blouse. 

  • Carved faux cinnabar bangle - consignment
  • Bubble bracelet - consignment
  • Brass ring - vintage mall
  • Necklace - D'Orlan, vintage 70s, consignment
  • Earrings - Biko, consignment
  • Brass/glass ring - Raphael of Canada, vintage 70s, consignment

Oops, missed the belt. 
I liked the snake peeking out. 

  • Leather belt - Notes du Nord, thrifted

I'm taking requests for outfit suggestions over on Substack (here), whether that's seeing an old favourite again, emulating a certain style (or person), whatever. Don't feel like going there? Feel free to leave me a comment here!

  1. I can see why you are happy with that outfit, it sings! The colour of the pants is a wonderful orange, I think even I could get away with that shade near my face, and orange is not my colour. I love to see the feline photobombers!

  3. Fabulous blouse! And such a nice topper for the red pants! I will ponder an outfit suggestion or theme and note it in a future post. Quite like the red bangle and bubble bracelet as well as those lovely suede heels.
    Cheers, Laurie
