Don’t let these photos fool you, it was a cold day in December, just before Christmas, but no snow. I took off my coat and braved the crisp, winter air for this photo shoot before going into Southworks Antique Mall in Cambridge, Ontario.
The skirt is from Le Chateau, a quality Canadian store. However, I was fortunate to find it in a thrift shop for $6. (No wonder I have too so many clothes!)
It’s a tweedy type of fabric and fully lined. The ruffled hem and black velvet trim detail is so flirty.
I wore it with a black cami and black cardi from Esprit for a casual look, and I wear it with a black blazer for a more dressy look.
Silver roses jewellery and my favourite black rose belt completes the outfit!
(I’m looking for my photos I took in the antique shop but can’t find them.)
No snow for Christmas but that has all changed! Baby, it’s cold outside!!

In winter temperatures can change in a flash! For the time being it hasn’t been too cold here, but you can never know … we are still in January!
I love the feminine shape of your skirt! Gray and black are very nice together and the belt is delightful!
Stay warm dear, all that snow is beautiful but … brrrr!

Thank you Dan! I still love my neutrals.
The temperatures have been below freezing and my car won’t even start. I’m going to Seattle on Wednesday and will enjoy a more moderate temperature. Glad your winter has not been too bad so far.
Have a happy week!

Sweet skirt and sweet deal Carmen! I love Le Chateau as well but I love a second hand bargain even more. 🙂
Keep shining your beautiful light.

Thank you Ralph! I’m hibernating at the moment, so there’s no chance of me freezing into a statue; it’s toasty warm inside!

Perhaps you were right the first time as in you have too many clothes….ha ha ha.
Is it only the clothing that is flirty?

Well, now that I have outgrown a regular closet (because I had too many clothes) and have turned a spare bedroom into a walk-in closet, I don’t have too many clothes anymore.
Great solution for a sentimental fashionista. 😉

Great bargain with that skirt wow. Again I have to say I love your matching jewellery so much again. You better put a warm coat on though for the snow and boots!
Lovely pictures!

Thank you Ute! It takes a lot of sorting through to find the hidden treasures, especially in the right size. Unfortunately, there’s always only one size of any particular item.
I like matching my jewellery, perhaps a little matchy-matchy but that’s me and the way i like it. Nice we have the same taste in matching jewellery.

What a find on that skirt! I LOVE it!
That antiques mall is something else. We often go there in the summer.
Now that it is so cold outside I never want to leave the house.
