Monday Mummy and Amber

Hello, my friends! This is going to be a quick one, and I'm also going to refer you to the Bigass Weekend post here, if you're wondering if you missed it. It was just a crazy weekend, and I ran out of time/energy/brain. 

This week, I'll be getting my theme on and dressing for Hallowe'en, my favourite holiday. 

This is my "mummy" jacket.

• Cotton jacket - Jean Paul Gaultier, vintage 00s, thrifted; last worn here with a big pouffy skirt in July
• Wool sweater - Bartolini, consignment; last seen here (3rd outfit) in February for brunch
• Skirt - Zara, consignment; first worn here in September with cream wrinkles
• Shoes - Mission Monica, Fluevog; last seen here in March with a wooly bell skirt
• Leather trenchcoat (below) - vintage 70s, thrifted; last worn here in April

 The strapping reminds me of mummy bandages - there is more strapping on the right sleeve.

The twisty skirt also reminded me of dusty mummified wrappings. Add a little orange to the mix and boom, good to go. 

Incognito. 

All bundled up - it's suddenly COLD out. I liked wearing this trenchcoat again. 

The stuff: 

Comfy shoes, for not much walking. I was training my Vancouver counterpart most of the morning. 

• Silk scarf - Lanvin, vintage 70s, thrifted
• Leather gloves - consignment

Amber bling: 

Fossilized tree sap is totally an October-y thing! 

• Large amber bracelet - consignment
• Small amber bracelet - consignment, Powell River
• Amber necklace - vintage mall, gift from L
• Silver snake ring - BC Museum gift shop, 1985
• Silver/smoky topaz ring - Anneli Neuman, Sweden, vintage mall
• Silver/amber thumb ring - consignment
• Silver/amber teardrop pendant - vintage mall, gift from L 
• Silver/amber earrings - vintage 1920s, vintage mall
