WIW: Day 1 SYC / Daytime Sparkle!

Well SYC is here!

It's a non work day and I dropped Master 9 at school at 7.30am to go of on a school excursion, am taking my MIL to a doctors appointment and then some shopping and lunch together:)

I just felt like wearing black today, in particular my boyfriend blazer.

So I'm wearing

Boyfriend Blazer (Target)
Long Sleeve T with beads and sequins (Mix)
Black Skinnies
Suede Booties (Rubi)
Woollen scarf (Katie's)
Cream & Black bag ( Strandbags)

All except the top have been in my closet for a while:). The top is new :)

Thanks for looking. How does this work?

    I love the sparklies and the exciting scarf.
    Can you explain syc to me? I know it stands for shop your closet, but is there more to it? Is it like a shopping ban or time period challenge or something? :-)

  • Victoria replied 12 years ago

    You look great as usual-love your scarf and booties!

  • Suz replied 12 years ago

    SYC is shop your closet, Jenny Anne. Which means a sort of shopping ban.

    Deborah, you look smashing. Love the new top! Love it all.

    Flawless. I can't remember an outfit that DIDN'T work...lol.

    It's neat to see winter-weather pieces in May. How cool to season-trade with the Aussies (and Kiwis) here. ;)

    Gorgeous! On my monitor the shirt looks like a shirt and low vest if that makes sense. Whatever it is, this is a super outfit. You look wonderful in that red scarf too!

  • Aida replied 12 years ago

    Beautiful, I LOVE the super dramatic giant scarf!!

  • Transcona Shannon replied 12 years ago

    Now THAT'S the way to kick off SYC! You look gorgeous Deborah!

  • Ana replied 12 years ago

    Great outfit, Deborah! I love the graphic black and white print of your shirt. It's very eye-catching with the rest of the outfit so dark and sleek. And then the oversized red scarf is amazing! This outfit is so dramatic and chic. I love it!

  • Travelgal Nicole replied 12 years ago

    Great outfit for running errands. Love the pop of colour in the scarf too.

  • ManidipaM replied 12 years ago

    Man, that's starting with a big bang! GORGEOUS, Deborah. That beading, those cuffs, that fabulous rich scarf with the lovely scrunchy look of texture, that bag --- I'm just a little enamored! :-)

  • MNsara replied 12 years ago

    Deborah - you look utterly divine in that red scarf! It makes me (almost) wish we were headed into more scarf wearing weather!!

  • Joy replied 12 years ago

    Big thumbs up!

  • christieanne replied 12 years ago

    That red scarf really has some flair! Very dramatic kick off I agree.
    Looking forward to your creative stylings during SYC.

  • AJ replied 12 years ago

    Wowie Zowie, your SYC is starting off with a BANG!

    The new top does look like you are wearing a low V vest with it. So cool! Luv the big, fluffy red scarf! Reminds me of a feather boa. : )

    Look forward to the rest of your May stylings...no pressure though! YLF!

    Jenny Anne, as Suz said some of us are SYC for the month which effective,y means no shopping. I have attached the link for you.

    Ladies thanks so much for looking. The red scarf does provide a bit of drama doesn't it.
    The top was $5 on sale and its a bit of fun.

    Well I am almost through day one. I survived a visit to one of my favorite thrift stores
    (MIL) bought some things, and a visit to one of the nicer boutiques in town (MIL bought
    a cardigan). I actually found it quite difficult but resisted! I told MIL what I'm doing so
    she helped keep me accountable:)

    I suppose it will go one of two ways! I will either find not shopping easier, or I'm going to be in agony for a month.

    Really appreciate your encouragement! And thanks AJ... No
    pressure you say lol :)

    You look good in black & love the sequin top & partially rolled sleeves of the jacet.

  • Angie replied 12 years ago

    You are a sparkling daytime beauty!

  • Makrame replied 12 years ago

    This is a great outfit both with and without the scarf!

  • Meredith1953 replied 12 years ago

    You always look so lovely! Love that bold red scarf with the outfit!
