Blue velvet Jammy Dress - win!
An outraged squawking greeted me at the stairs.
Bert and Ethel are back! Ethel was the squawking one - she flapped off just before I took this - likely complaining that her nesting area was neglected. I love the neighbourhood seagulls.
Back to the dress, which was a huge boon to my busy day.
I stroked it for tactile therapy - it reminds me of petting Vizzini.
I love the colour.
Pockets!
My work phone dragged the pocket down past the hem, oops.
Outerwear! I needed all of this in the morning - it was cold and windy.
Lesson: Wear all the stuff, but be ready to carry it home.

I stashed the gloves and hat in my bag, and hopped the bus home to get a jump on blogging and prepping the light snacks that a Book Club host provides.

Your copper jewelry always gets me smiling especially when a piece contains turquoise; the colors play well with one another. Yay for jammy dressing and ‘shoe math’ to make for a comfortable outfit. Ugh, I know that annoying feeling when the phone weighs down the pocket enough to impact the hem or drape of the material!
ReplyDeleteYou may have mentioned this awhile ago…what book did you select/is your book group reading? I just finished The Once and Future Witches. Parts of it were difficult to read (because I could picture what was happening) but overall I quite liked reading about the Eastwood Sisters. While the story takes place in the 1600s and the book was published in 2020, I imagined a version with slight modifications (eventually) occurring in the modern day U.S. ;)

That’s the thing about good velvet, isn’t it? You just have to stroke it…so satisfying. I would have done black tights and boots, but that would have been a big mistake. The brown is soooo much better! And, it works so well with the turquoise and copper jewelry. I often use shoe math when deciding whether to buy footwear. I learned it from you! Hope your Book Club went well!

That blue velvet dress is gorgeous and looks so very tactile. I love how you wore it with brown boots and tights. Swooning over your copper and turquoise bling! And oh, hello Bert and Ethel! xxx
ReplyDeleteThat dress looks fabulous on you and the icing on the cake is our pendant! xxx
