Chinese Tunic and a Skull

Monday, and I'm waiting for L to get home from Seattle. I always enjoy the first day he's gone, then I miss him. Also, Vizzini is being a pain - he wants his favourite nap person.

So, today I wore one of my new-to-me items, this fabulous burgundy tunic.
I bought it in a thrift store for $8.00 here a couple of weeks ago - it's by Tian Art, which is sort of a Chinese haute couture brand. Isn't it awesome? I got tons of compliments on it today and enjoyed flashing the pink satin lining.
I'm wearing my hot pink Smoking Lily skirt with the giant red skull on the side of it (you can see a bit of the skull in the above picture). It perfectly matched the lining.
I last wore the skirt here in May with pops of red (and maybe Flying Spaghetti Monsters?).

The stuff:
I last wore these cherry red shoes here in June with chartreuse.

After a week of monochrome, it was great to get back to "regular" clothes - then I realized my whole outfit was tones of red, burgundy and pink. Um, that's still pretty matchy.

Red and blue bling:
My standard coral suite and the Fulvia Ring by Wendy Brandes.

Jacket (Tian Art, thrifted), skirt (Smoking Lily), shoes (Sencha Teapots, Fluevog), bracelet (Plum), earrings (local), Fulvia Ring (Wendy Brandes).

  2. Gorgeous! The jacket and skirt looks fantastic together, and the shoes were made to sing three-part harmony. This would almost fit your monochromania trend.

  6. What fantastic colours! I love how the tunic flares out. I also miss Mr SS after the first evening of eating junk and wearing my Pjs from the minute I get in....

    I did enjoy your monochrome week - I didn't manage to do one of my own, but my dog Percy did! I will post a pic of her in my next post (am on a short work trip).
