Dec 11th - Outfit #9 - Cashmere and Sequins

Eeek! Scary Sheila!

This is my lovely hand-sewn sequin and beaded skirt that I bought back here in July for $19.99 at The Patch (there's a much better picture of it in natural light at that link). It's by Beaded Drama (hee hee) and it's from the 80s. I got a lot of compliments on it today - it really sparkled up the office!

I'm wearing my lovely grey wool boots again, last seen here on Friday (2nd outfit) with my mullet coat and green dress. I have purple tights on, which are visible in the top photo.
The sweater is a simple navy blue 100% cashmere one by Land's End. I bought it in December 2009 (first worn here with a red plaid skirt) for $38 at My Sister's Closet. I wore it again in January 2011 for my very first WW meeting as a leader...and I think that's it! Wow, I'm really shocked. Of course, it's a fall/winter only item, but to have this amazing basic in my wardrobe (in a neutral) and to not even wear it!

This sweater is the reason I did this year-long capsule challenge: to rediscover some of the basics in my wardrobe, and to get more wear out of the superb quality items I do have.

Off to WW!
