Jammy Dress Two-Fer: Monday Eyes Without A Face; Tuesday Yellow Velvet

And now back to real life, with two Jammy Dresses kicking off the work week. 
My "Eyes Without a Face" dress hadn't been worn this season! Quelle horreur! 

  • Dress - Little Moon, consignment; last worn here (2nd outfit) in November 2024 to go to a vintage fair
  • Boots - Rockport, thrifted; last seen here in April with a blue velvet Jammy Dress

I didn't need to do anything other than picking my boots, and grabbing some jewelry.
Zero thought involved. 

I let the pattern do the work. 
It's such a cool dress. I like the up-and-down shape. 

Incognito.
Showing off the pockets! This dress stays out all year round.

Accoutrements and stuff: 
It's cool in the morning, and scorching hot by afternoon. 

  • Silk scarf - Balmain, consignment

Pop of red bling:
I really liked the bits of red with the dress - must do that again. 

  • Carved cinnabar bangle - consignment
  • Chain/crystal bracelet - thrifted
  • Wooden Klimt ring - consignment
  • Wooden ring - Dots
  • Silver/amber pinky ring - consignment; purchased here for $22.50
  • Stone ring - thrifted
  • Necklace - D'Orlan, vintage 70s, consignment
  • Ear-balls - Dior, consignment

After working on my weekend post - so many pictures! - so knew I'd need another easy outfit for Tuesday and an office full of people. 
The ultimate Jammy Dress - I'm basically invisible in this. 

  • Dress - French Connection, consignment; last seen here in March with brown boots
  • Boots - Coffee Kope Tiam, Fluevog, 2011; last worn here in April with a crinkly skirt and dino bomber

Another day with a wild change in temperatures.
I was warm enough walking briskly in the morning. 

And it wasn't too heavy for the burning sun on the way home. 
It's a gorgeous textile, a very soft, silky velvet. The light "petals" are actually sheer yellow. 

"And now, Axl Rose," I joked to Glenn and Carol as I tied my scarf on at the end of the day. 
It's now time for me to get out the nylons, after a couple of months of bare legs. 

Accoutrements and stuff: 
These boots felt a little high but I didn't do much walking in them. They're still good for the office.

  • Silk scarf - Echo, thrifted

Brutalist bling: 
I'm starting to long for my fall things, including my pewter Brutalist pieces. 

  • Gold bangle - thrifted
  • Eelskin bangle - fake Gucci, vintage 90s, gift from Mom & Dad
  • Silver/amber pinky ring - consignment
  • Stone ring - thrifted
  • Crystal ring - Uffizi Gallery gift shop, Florence, Italy
  • Wooden ring - Dots
  • Earrings - vintage mall
  • Gold-plated pewter necklace - Robert Larin, vintage 70s, consignment, gift from L

Only a couple of weeks to go!
