Bold Brights: Blue, Yellow and Orange

Another scorcher, with temps up in the high 20s. Getting dressed for an icy office is a challenge! 
A few light pieces was all I could stand.

  • Completely Impractical Raincoat - Animale, thrifted; last seen here in July at Finnerty Gardens with Mom
  • Top - J. Crew, thrifted; last worn here in October 2023 (really?)
  • Skirt - J. Crew, thrifted; last seen here in July 2024 with cobalt bookends
  • Patent leather shoes - Karl Lagerfeld; last worn here in July with big yellow sleeves

Getting a wearing of this linen-blend skirt is always a bonus - I love the bold floral print and the funky mix of colours.
Note the giant pockets! I usually wear blue, yellow and orange with it, and often pink or red. It goes with everything.

When I arrived at the office, I was roasting, and quickly tossed aside the Completely Impractical Raincoat. Later, when I got cold, I put it back on.
I scooched my bra straps up to hide them. 

I completely whiffed on taking a back view, but you get the idea. When I stepped outside, the heat hit me like a wave.
I was dripping when I got home. 

The stuff: 
These poor shoes are getting a bit thrashed. Good enough for a quiet day at the office, though. 

Bold bling: 
The thought of wearing metal was...nope. Wood, high density plastic, just a bit of steel in one ring. 

  • Yellow cuff - thrifted
  • Plastic cuff/ring - Italian, vintage 60s, vintage mall
  • Wooden earrings - vintage expo
  • Steel/Lucite ring - Calvin Klein

It's supposed to cool off tomorrow.
