Teal and Cream - and a Birthday Week Break

I made it. I'm on holiday until next Monday! 
A lovely view of my vintage slip
It's an official "stay-cation" - I really need some down-time.


  • Blouse - Ben Sherman, thrifted; last seen here (6th outfit) after the out-laws' visit
  • Skirt - Mackage, thrifted; first worn here for my mom's birthday 
  • Shoes - Channi B; purchased here on the weekend for $295.00

I showed off my new shoes to everyone at work (hands off, Lesley! you can't have these shoes yet!). I had several compliments on the ensemble, especially since my hair matched the purple stripe of the shirt, and the pink lining of the shoes.
I see someone sneaking a peek! 
It's like I planned it. I wanted to wear this skirt one more time in the May capsule - it's going to be put away for fall, as it's too warm now for thick leather.

The stuff:
First wear - barefoot! - and these were amazing shoes. A nice squishy platform, lots of room in the toes, no rubbing or chafing anywhere. Worth every penny.

Pearl bling:
I always forget about this necklace.


  • Necklace - vintage fair
  • Earrings - thrifted
  • Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes


I'll be back on Sunday with my mild during-the-week adventures, our sure-to-be insane birthday party for L (I have a few outfit changes planned!), and a small examination of the May/June capsules. On second thought, that's a lot. I might try fit the capsule stuff into a post later on this week. We'll see...I don't have to decide! I'm on vacation! Weeeeeee!

  6. Those shoes are straight up gorgeous. What an elegant, eye-catchingly marvelous pair. I really like your vintage pearl necklace, too - that clasp is a stunner.

    Big hugs,
