Flapper Floof and Fringe

I always feel like a flapper in this skirt, so why not go full-on...with pastels!

 Despite how it looks, this outfit was completely comfortable and easy to wear. No fuss.

• Sweater - Lord & Taylor, thrifted; last worn here earlier this month with Kermit shoes
• Skirt - Sandra Angelozzi, thrifted; last seen here in August 2017 with a long tunic and T-straps
• Shoes - Big Presence Earhart, Fluevog; last worn here in April with a bad blouse
• Coat (below) - Lord & Taylor, thrifted; last seen here on Monday

This thin cashmere sweater is soft and drapey, like an oversized t-shirt. I wear a vintage camisole under it because it's somewhat sheer.

 The skirt is so ruffly and floofy! It makes me happy. I gave it a good steam last night - silk organza wrinkles like mad. I tried not to sit at all until after I took my pictures!

Surprise! There's a scarf back there!

 I had the whole outfit put together, and then when I was pulling out accessories, I realized that this not-yet-worn silk scarf would work perfectly with the colours in the outfit.

Outerwear - it's sunny, breezy and a bit brisk in the mornings/evenings.

 But I'm warm by the time I've walked home.

The stuff:

 These shoes make me happy. Love them. Lilac and mango!

Mostly old bling:

 The newest thing here is the crystal ring from Florence - some of this stuff goes back many, many years.

• Gold chain - Grandma J's, likely from the 80s when you could buy gold chain by the inch at booths in the mall! 
• Amethyst bracelet - vintage 1930s? Gram S. (Mom, do you remember this piece?); Edit: Mom says it might have been her grandmother's (Grandma B), and possibly Scottish. 
• Bead/chain necklace - 2028, Eatons, c. 1997
• Earrings - vintage booth
• Crystal ring - Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Italy
• Amber ring - c. 1996

This is a very old piece. It is from my Gram S. (my mom's mom) - I am pretty sure she gave this to me in the mid-80s, when I briefly lived with her and my Grandad S. while he recovered from heart surgery. This (here) is a picture of my Gram and Grandad on my wedding day, and here's me with Grandad when I was a wee one (Mom tells me this is around my first birthday).

This looks like the post-flapper era to me. It's not expensively made - the pieces are all stamped (not cast/carved), and then soldered together.

The amethyst is big and isn't perfectly square cut. I forgot I had it, and wanted a bracelet this morning, and remembered this (and even where I had stored it, go, me!). I'm glad I pulled it out.

Here's some detail of my scarf, it being the first wear.

I bought it at My Sister's Closet in December 2017 (here) just after Christmas - it was half price, but I neglected to say how much it was. However, I'm cheap, so it wouldn't have been over $12.00.

I love that it has a row of bugle beads every third fringe.

This is kept well away from Vizzini! Chomp, he would eat it.
