I played one game against colleague Andi - and she beat me, to her utter surprise. I warned her I was awful.
Today's outfit features my long-time favourite Space Jacket. It's a stretch cotton brushed with silver by local makers Smoking Lily.
The orange leopard skirt was popular with my colleagues.
It's so swooshy.
We had much warmer temps today, not that I was outside much.
I only took my jacket off after hoofing it up the stairs in the morning.
Sneaking in another wearing of this sleeveless vintage sweater.
All done up and incognito.
I walked to work in these shoes, and hopped a bus home after the event.
The stuff:
My shoes elicited gasps of astonishment, as usual. They are rather spectacular.
Orange bling:
I had more comments on my David Bowie brooch than anything else.
- Bowie brooch - vintage fair
- Orange bracelet - consignment, Sidney
- Steel/acrylic ring - Calvin Klein, thrifted
- Orange cuff and ring - Italian, vintage 60s, vintage mall
- Wooden earrings - vintage fair
Off to nap - I'm still feeling groggy and a bit sore from my perio appointment yesterday.
VERY cool outfit! Love the bling too. Lise
ReplyDeleteLike Lise, I’m a fan of your orange bling. Those round hoop earrings, bracelets and rings look light weight and easy to wear on a warm day. You can attribute poor pool play (this time) to the periodontist visit. ;)

Pool! One of my favorite recreations. Haven't tried it since my vision left; not sure if I can still play and to what degree I've retained my previous skill at it. May or may not be there. Glad you're spreading fashion knowledge (bias cut) to the uninformed. And, of course your Bowie brooch attracts attention. It's a conversation starter! I've been a fan of David's since the Seventies. He represented social/sexual deviance even if he was merely pretending to be gay. His visibility nudged the door more open for the rest of us.
ReplyDeletePerfect outfit for both work and play! Orange is such a pick-me-up when one is feeling a bit off. Well done on educating your colleagues about the bias cut. At least your co-workers are interested in such things. My one and only colleague has no interest in fashion or clothes whatsoever, and hardly ever comments on what I'm wearing ...
ReplyDeleteHope the nap did the trick and you're feeling much brighter! xxx
I read a while ago what bias cut means, and still don't know! I love to play pool too, haven't for a while though.
