Black Dress, Plaid Poncho and a Lobster

I got my Covid booster today, so my outfit was based around having my upper arm available. 
I wore this leather blazer as both outerwear and in the office when I got chilled. 

  • Dress - Spanner, vintage 90s, thrifted; last seen here in February with bronze leather
  • Boots - Truths Teah, Fluevog; last worn here in December 2024 with purple popcorn
  • Leather jacket - Danier Leather, thrifted; last seen here (3rd outfit) in May for Mom's birthday party
  • Plaid poncho (below) - Bodybag by Jude, consignment, gift from L; last worn here (2nd outfit) in December 2024 for brunch and a wee shop

My poppy pin is hiding under the lapel. 
One of my VPs took me for lunch today - what a lovely treat. 

This dress is a cozy acrylic/wool blend, with a high neck. It has a zip from the shoulder to the side of the neck! You never see that. 
It gave easy exposure for the Nurse Practitioner. "Jab it in the rose!"

Incognito. I had a visitor this morning. 
"What are you doing?"


I layered my soft fleece-backed poncho over the leather coat for extra snuggliness. 

The stuff: 
As I had to walk several blocks for my shot (in addition to my usual to/from work), I picked these steampunk boots as they are excellent for navigating the city sidewalks. 

  • Leather purse - Ipso, thrifted
  • Silk scarf - fake Louis (Lewis!) Vuitton, thrifted
  • Leather gloves - Danier Leather

Silver bling: 
Big, heavy, bold pieces. The lobster had many admirers.

  • Lobster brooch - Bermuda, vintage 90s, gift from Mom
  • Silver grape cuff bracelet - Karen's
  • Silver S bracelet - Mexican, thrifted, Sidney
  • Silver/obsidian ring - consignment
  • Silver Anneke & Lars ring - vintage mall
  • Silver chain ring - Mexican, consignment
  • Silver earrings - Israeli, consignment

Barnabas showed up! 
He's always happy to cuddle. 

Whateley kept me company while I did my make-up. 
"Don't leave!"

This one was up to mischief. 
"As soon as you leave, we're gonna shred some paper."

Little monsters! 

My friends, I'll be back on Wednesday!
