Orange Suit AKA Dentist Camo

Hello, my friends, and welcome back to the Stair Picture, my own patented sprawl-across-the-stairs pose that makes the outfit look great, but looks very silly in person. It's all about the 3D to 2D. Science!

Orange you glad I wore this suit? I was - I had a dentist appointment midway through my workday.

• Pleather jacket - Only, consignment; last worn here in October 2024 with the pants
• Pleather pants - Only, consignment; last seen here in October 2024 with the jacket

• Baby alpaca/wool coat - Mallia, consignment; last seen here on Monday

As per his recent photo-bombing, Vizzini has been craving the condo hallway lately, so I let him "escape."

"I fooled you! You didn't even see me dash out!"

Sure, buddy, you totally got me.

My dentist and tech both loved my outfit. I blended in to the orange vinyl chair, nearly an exact match. 

"Where's Sheila??" It's camouflage! 

I built this outfit around the new-to-me leopard blouse, which gets a "meh" thumbs up, as the heavy buttons weighed it down in the front. 

I did like the sleeves hanging low - I'd remembered that from when I tried it on, so skipped bracelets. 

Overall, I felt badass in this, although it was rather sweaty. This suit does not breathe.

Colleague Leah came to my desk to check it out, as I'd told her yesterday that I'd be wearing it.

Many years ago, she claimed a bunch of my old clothes (from when I used to give them away), and passed a bunch to to her mom. 

Hi, Leah's mom! 

I walked to work in the morning, but bussed to the dentist and back to work, then bussed home as I was hauling a flat of Vizzini's special food. 

It's still very chilly, but clear. 

Accoutrements: 

Snuggly fur! 

• Fur scarf - thrifted
• Leather/fur gloves - thrifted

The stuff: 

These shoes are probably close to 20 years old - I bought them secondhand in 2011, and I have worn them A LOT. 

Minimal bling: 

I wore the necklace under the collar - it didn't stay in place very well. Too heavy for the slinky shirt.

• Gold-plated enamel brooch - De Passille-Sylvestre, vintage 70s, consignment
• Necklace - J. Crew, consignment
• Amber ring - c. 1996
• Snake double ring - consignment
• Earrings - thrifted

I pinned the brooch to the lapel of my coat.
