May the Fourth Be With You

Happy Star Wars Day, my friends! 
It's me, Darth Sheila, ready for a busy day in the office. 

  • Wool duster - Ports International, vintage 80s, consignment; last worn here in December 2025 with a sparkly skirt
  • Cotton sleeveless top - Planet, thrifted; last seen here in September 2025 with Adidas and my pirate skirt
  • Cotton-blend jeans - Everlane, thrifted; purchased here for about $12.00 after a bunch of discounts
  • Luke and Yoda shoes - Star Wars by Irregular Choice; last worn here in November 2025

I'm always happy to wear this gorgeous long cardigan. Cobalt blue is just a great colour, period. 
Wearing these new-to-me thrifted thick cotton jeans (a touch of spandex, otherwise all cotton) for the first time, and they were awesome. They did stretch out while I wore them, and ended up with a slight barrel leg from the knees. 

The pockets could be bigger, but at least they're real.
Showing off my Star Wars belt! 

It continues to be stinkin' hot, with temps up to 24.
I was roasty-toasty by the time I arrived at the office, and after climbing the stairs, I was a sweaty mess. Cardigan OFF. 

Incognito. 
There was a lovely breeze on the way home. 

The stuff: 
One of my new colleagues said, "YODA!" when he saw my shoes. 

  • Belt - Buckle-Down, consignment

Space bling: 
Oops, a little blurry. MONDAY.

  • Swirl brooch - Sarah Coventry, vintage fair
  • Orange crystal cuff - Loren Hope, thrifted
  • Silver-gold bracelet - JPA, vintage fair
  • Lucite/steel ring - Calvin Klein, thrifted
  • Lapis lazuli ring - Wendy Brandes
  • Earrings - Chan Luu, consignment

Whateley came in for some attention. Look at that little boo! 
"I love you."


Aw, right back atcha, buddy! What a sweet boy.

  1. Your recent outfits have me swearing off ever wearing gray or dull colors again! Maybe the season simply demands vibrancy. 🌹🪻🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼
    Yes for cobalt blue! (And any similar blues :-) ) Am also appreciating all your jewelry. The white jeans look comfortable and drape quite nicely. Being a big fan of cotton I’m highly appreciative of your orange sleeveless top. I have no difficulty finding cotton tees but rarely (okay, never) have found a classy cotton top like the one you are wearing.
    Here’s to a glorious week because why not! Cheers, Laurie

  2. I love the combo of wide white trousers and an orange blouse (top). The long cobalt blue cardi is fabulous. I adore cobalt blue and I have a few treasured pieces in this shade.
    P.S. Your bling is always fabulous.

  3. That is a lovely, simple, dramatic outfit, and I like the size of the brooch at the neckline.
