Red Leopard and Black Corduroy, and a Boot Swap

Hello, my friends! I'm going to be quick today, because we are headed out to a show very soon! 

A good Monday office outfit. A B+ outfit, kind of boring. I probably need a jacket. 

• Blouse - Topshop, thrifted; first worn here in March with burgundy leather
• Skirt - JW Anderson X Uniqlo, consignment; last seen here for a Mom-Day Adventure in February
• Boots - Prepare 2.0 Tracker, Fluevog; last worn here in March for our Tweed Magazine photoshoot! 
• Cowboy boots (below) - 1883 Lucchesse, consignment; last seen here in September 2023!
• Leather coat (below) - Danier Leather; last worn here in March

I have Blouse Malaise, as I am just not feeling them and don't even look at the few I have left in my closet (less than a dozen).

This my second wearing of this red leopard one, and I'm not sure if I'll keep it. 

I paired it with this wide-wale black corduroy wrap-around skirt. 

Showing off the pockets. I noticed while I was steaming the skirt last night, that there is a small intertwined "JW" on the back. 

Right where my thumb is here. 

JW is designer JW Anderson. I had never heard of him when I bought this skirt. That's what research is for! 

Outerwear. 

It was a grey and rainy day, as you can probably guess from the grainy Stair Pic. 

Accoutrements: 

Old faves! 

• Silk scarf - Elaine Gold, vintage, consignment
• Hat - gift from Tammy
• Brooch - Monet, vintage 80s, thrifted
• Velour gloves - Thinsulate, thrifted

The stuff: 

Excellent boots - these are so comfy, but not to the point of walking to town and home and standing in sticky carpet at the Capital Ballroom, while we watch Corb Lund do an acoustic set. 

The stuff, part 2!

So I swapped to these red cowboy boots, which...can it possibly be over a year since I wore them? Well, I need to remedy that and break these out more often. 

Minimal bling: 

Oops, I forgot to include my bracelets! Can you imagine them based on my listing below? 

• Silver/gold cuff (not shown) - JPL, vintage fair
• Silver hinged cuff bracelet (not shown) - vintage, thrifted, Powell River
• Earrings - Tania Gleave, Granville Island
• Silver/obsidian ring - consignment
• Silver/concrete ring - Raul Caballeros, Oui Jewelry
• Silver/red stone ring - thrifted
• Silver/onyx ring - Tocara, vintage fair
• Pinky ring - Dots

Just enough time to dash home, grab dinner and walk back to town. 

And change my boots! I'll edit to add a couple of photos when we get home.
