Silver Belles for the Sunday Showcase

December 5, 2021 /

Silver bells or silver belles? Why not both? Ada and I wanted to come up with something a little different for the holidays as we often think of red or green for the holidays and giving silver the spotlight seemed like a fun idea. Since I am shopping my closet till the end of the month (wahoo: this is a record for me, that will make it 2 and 1/2 months!), I turned to my shelves and hangers for inspiration. I was pretty sure I would wear this asymetrical top which I first wore here but what to pair with it? I tried several skirts but nothing I had was the right length or material to make a cohesive holiday look.

Then I thought about this fun pair of pants! Red, interesting cut, they look festive, I believe! Both the sweater and pants are second hand, one from Goodwill, the other from Ebay bought this past year. I still think a cute black leather or suede skirt would have been pretty with this top but alas, I am working with what I already have.

Putting this outfit together had me so tempted to order a pair of fancy boots (my Lainee boots in black would be pretty) or a pair of pumps. This is my fanciest pair of shoes for winter in and they are not super dressy! I will be on the lookout in the new year.

I don’t wear this wide belt very often but it is quite handy. Because both the top and pants were flowy, I wanted to define the waist a little. In restropect, I probably would have pulled it down some but here we were trying to take pictures quickly as it was right after the high school dismissal and just a couple blocks from the school.

The sweater is really festive in person as it is shiny and sparkly. At the bottom, is a close up picture so you would admire that detail. Most of my wardrobe is casual so if I were to go to a special night event I would probably have to rent something. But since that is an unlikely, I can be creative with what I have for a casual holiday dinner with friends or acquaitances.

While I never wear makeup (maybe once or twice a week), I would definitely add some for a special outing.

I am really loving Ada’s outfit! She looks fantastic in this soft silver collared sweater and plaid mini skirt. I love these patterned tights (can you believe I don’t own a single pair of tights?) and the fun patent leather booties.

Ada really paid attention to the details in this outfit: the earrings are fun and pick up the skirt’s pattern and the bag is the perfect size and shape to add to the outfit without taking the focus of it. Well done!

I chose Marsha in the Middle’s post, Artists Galore! from last’s months linked up posts. You will not believe that Marsha has been blogging for less than a year! She is a wonderful storyteller that will keep you coming back to read her posts and laugh with her as she tells stories about growing up, her teaching days and everyday adventures. She will do so while sharing some fun outfits sharing her love of certain brands (that I had never heard of until reading her blog) like April Cornell tunics and dresses and L’Artiste shoes. I am a little jealous of how quickly she has gotten readers and commenters and friends through her blog posts!
