Zebra Striped Jammy With Blues

My outfit today was task-specific - I had to do some clambering around on desks and be physical, so I dressed appropriately. Jammy Dress time! 

This dress reminded me of a zebra - gee, I wonder why? 

• Dress - Massimo Dutti, thrifted; purchased here for $19.95
• Boots - Groovy Huysmans, Fluevog; last seen way back here in January with a neutral mélange
• Leather coat (below) - Danier Leather, thrifted; last worn here in September over Kenzo tiger

It performed admirably for all my tasks - I didn't even get it dirty! 

It did cling a bit to my tights - it's not at the Cotton Rage stage, but good to know. 

This might live in my spring/summer wardrobe, since I already have a striped dress in my fall/winter closet - this InWear one here, which is thicker and better cut/quality. 

I liked the long hem on this dress - it's got big slits on either side. 

I'd originally thought of grey tights with it, then decided I needed more colour. 

Are coloured tights coming back? Were they ever gone? 

Who knows! 

I walked to/from work like this, shoes and all. I prefer my outerwear to complement my outfit. 

Accoutrements: 

Deja scarf! 

• Scarf - MetroWear, San Francisco, 2006
• Hat - gift from Tammy
• Brooch - Monet, thrifted
• Gloves - Parkhurst; purchased here for $24.95

The gloves were perfect, as I knew they would be.

The stuff: 

Shoes I wouldn't mind getting scuffed up while doing said desk clambering. I also walked home in the rain in them. 

Bold bling: 

I liked the heft of the blue necklace, although it likes to twist around a bit. 

• Acrylic necklace - consignment
• Studded leather cuff - c. 1997
• Leather cuff - Guess, thrifted
• Silver earrings - Israeli, consignment
• Silver/onyx ring - Tocara, vintage fair
• Lapis lazuli ring - Wendy Brandes

More bits of blue.
