Eternal Etro Layered

Monday again! But happily, we're looking at the long Labour Day weekend in our immediate future, so there's hope.

With the calendar flipping to September soon, I'm really taking a hard look at some of the things in my closet - those backwards hangers! 

• Mesh top - Noisy May, consignment; first seen here a couple of weeks ago with a windbreaker
• Dress - Etro, vintage 90s, thrifted; last worn here in July 2024 with yellow flats
• Leather boots - Doc Martens; last seen here in July with big red and sequined popcorn

I had a companion near the stairs this morning. 

Hello, Zsa Zsa! 

This vintage 90s Etro dress has only been layered once, when I first wore it way back in 2016 (3rd outfit here, after the Alice Cooper concert pictures!), and never since.

I'm trying to look at my clothes and really determine if they fit into my current vibes (badass, artsy and joyful). Many of my yet-to-be-worn pieces feel like an earlier version of me, so my goal is to try to style them up to fit my aesthetic or they have to go.

I liked how the layered mesh top and the Docs brought this a sporty-street feel. 

I did not know my tag was out until I saw the pictures in the evening - I probably had it out all day, and no one told me. Oh, people. *shakes head*

Oh, well, whatever. I felt great in this! 

All of these colours just make me so happy, and I swooshed around in this silky jersey dress. Keeper!

The stuff: 

I walked to and from work in these, which is why I bought them. Gotta be able to walk! 

Crystal bling:

First wearing of my new earrings! 

• Gold/crystal necklace/bracelet set - vintage 00s, gift from CAB
• Carved jadeite bangle - consignment
• Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes
• Silver/amethyst ring - vintage mall
• Lavender pearl earrings - consignment, Powell River; purchased here for $15.00

Love them.
