Tuesday, my thrift shopping day, was cool (temp only in the 50s), windy, and rainy. I believe Autumn has officially arrived. A light weight jacket and boots were in order. I wore my favorite jacket and quasi-motorcycle boots instead of puddle boots. My puddle boots are of a style and pattern more appropriate for Spring.
This jacket has lots of detail, including leather trim and epaulets, which you can't see. Here's the jacket completely zipped and snapped to keep the wind and cool air out (and a better view of the leather epaulet).
Underneath the jacket, a t-shirt and a sweater for warmth.
I've had this sweater for a few years -- I really like the bow-like detail.
The details:
Jacket: Elie Tahari
T-shirt: Talbots
Sweater: Nic + Zoe
Trousers: Nic + Zoe
Boots: Born
Pendant: Lucky Brand
Bracelets: 1 Lucky Brand, 2 Thrifted (

I love that jacket and all the details that make it so special and speaking of special, the sweater is incredible!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and for the comments! I wear that sweater 3 seasons and I'm still not tired of it.
DeleteNorma I love your sweater, cute details. Great jacket and nice style. About my orange skirt. It's not a stupid question, sweetie, sorry I forgot to tell it's a belt. Oh and about your last outfit post, the gorgeous pants. You could wear any color with it, like, emerald green or a gorgeous red. I think those square sweaters would look best. do you know what I mean?

Thank you Lenya! And thank you for the info about the belt.
Deletethat's really exciting!
ReplyDeleteNice jacket, Norma....and great fit. I love the color mix of the sweater and the striped top.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa! I don't know why but in the autumn I seem to always where that top with the sweater.
DeleteI think it's great to see an outfit clearly designed for inclement weather that looks chic and fashionable. It's so easy to start looking boring or dare I say frumpy when it comes to dressing for rain and wind and cold. Your look is a little edgy, and very stylish! I love your turquoise jewelry as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue! You can say frumpy :-) I hate to admit this, but I know that I'm sometimes guilty of looking frumpy. I'm trying desperately to rid myself of the frumpiness and I'm glad I succeeded with this outfit.
DeleteNice clothes! I like the details on the jacket and cardi, and I really like the boots with this outfit. I skimmed through a few older posts, and I really like your style! This is how us old broads are rewriting fashion rules!
ReplyDeleteThank you Val! I'm trying, although I sometimes feel a tug back to the old rules. It's still a struggle for me, but I'm working on it.
DeleteGreat jacket, great boots, perfectly proportioned with the skinny jeans. You know how to put it all together.
ReplyDeleteI'm not worthy of your visit!!! ;-) I've been silently following you for a long time; way before I started blogging here. I love your style and your cycles! Here in small town midwest, we are still 4-wheel centric although the times they are a changin'. We have nice trails for casual and/or sport riding; bike lanes on city streets are far and few between but the numbers are slowing increasing. I'm envious of your Friday date nights and your shopping trips.
DeleteThis is such a great autumn outfit ! i like it :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe we follow each other !?
If yes let me know if you follow me & i´ll follow back :)

ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween sweetie.

Hi Lenya! Nothing serious -- just a resurface of an old injury has kept me offline. I'll explain in a new blog post. HUGS!!! Thank you sooo much for your concern. You must be the BEST best friend in the real life world! Wish we lived close to each other!
