Blue Toile and Shocking Yellow

The weather's cooled off from our heatwave of a couple of weeks ago. I have to go back to layers! 

I usually wear this dress in July or August when it's really hot. 

• Dress - PartTwo, consignment; last seen here in July 2024 with pink shoes
• Blazer (below) - Moda International, vintage 00s, thrifted; last worn here in April with my blossoms skirt
• Shoes - Karl Lagerfeld; last seen here in July 2024 with my Etro swirly dress

I must consult the weather predictions a little more closely - my arms have been freezing lately.

The tiers in this dress move and shimmy when I walk. Toile is not usually a pattern I gravitate to, but the style of the dress wins me over.

It's a classic Jammy Dress. 

All I need to do is pick shoes. I've worn it with lavender, blue, black and white, and pink shoes (and my Star Wars "I Know" shoes twice). I should do orange! 

Shockingly, I have never worn yellow with it before. 

I'm a fan of yellow and blue.

I wore a jacket for walk to/from work, but by the time noon rolled around...

I ended up wearing the blazer for the rest of the day. I liked this look too. 

Buttoned up and incognito.

I briefly considered a matchy belt, but eh, too fussy. 

The stuff:

I folded this scarf to show the most yellow.

• Silk scarf - Italian, thrifted
• Fabric flower - Le Chateau, I think? c. 2008

Bold bling: 

I don't have a very big yellow set. 

• Yellow cuff - thrifted
• Filigree cuff - St. Paul's Cathedral gift shop, 2010
• Silver/crystal ring - Soul Flower
• Lapis lazuli ring - Wendy Brandes
• Silver/kyanite ring - consignment
• Bakelite earrings - vintage 60s, vintage fair
