I wanted to wear it - it's a very silky polyester, and yes, that big pattern continues on the back.
It was grey and rainy so I leaned into a thin wool sweater and this grey 90s skirt.
I had to show the lining off to my colleagues.
Such a great purple. All that nice lining, but ya couldn't put pockets in it. So annoying.
I took the bomber off a couple of times.
Incognito and Rain Pickled.
It perfectly covered the jacket.
The stuff:
I walked to and from work in these sparkly sequined sneakers.
- Leather studded gloves - Danier Leather
Grey bling:
I pinned the brooch at the top of my shirt, half on the collar.

Barnabas out on the deck last night.
"This is the best!"
Whateley goofing around near my closet.
"He's in there."
Yes, I know Barnabas likes to sleep right under that green skirt on one of my storage bags.
"I haven't decided."
I'm sure it will be either the shoes or my boxes of scarves that he messes with!
The rain pickle is so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the longline bomber jacket and it matches the footwear perfectly.
Barnabas is a proper sunworshipper, Whateley is more of a fashionista! xxx
The lining is wonderful, but no pockets? How sad! 😢
ReplyDeletePickled in pink ;-) The green pickle is a grand way to ward off being wet, and I think pink is a grand way to ward off letting the weather have the upper hand. I'm intrigued that you label the pink duster a maxi-bomber jacket; as you can see, I think of it as a duster. Regardless, it is a lovely long patterned and colorfully lined piece of clothing! The earrings, bangle, three rings and kitties (!) are my favorite accessories. Cheers, Laurie
ReplyDeleteThe long bomber is a delight, and I'm loving the sequinned sneakers. Oh and the rain pickle, of course. I think I need one of these in my life :-) xxx
ReplyDeletewow, that long bomber is particularly fabulous and I love the layering, so matchy and cool, and those sneakers!. But the Rain Pickle has stolen the show!
