Many Studs, Viv Plaid and a Boucle Cape

I knew that today would be busy, but I didn't anticipate the absolute crazy day that I ended up having. I'm so happy that I'm off tomorrow! 
I always "armour up" for just these kinds of times. 


  • Leather jacket - Michael Kors, consignment; last worn here in March with my Tweed Cover skirt
  • Sweater - Bellissima, thrifted; last seen here in February layered under Prada, with this same skirt
  • Skirt - Vivienne Westwood Anglomania F/W 2011, consignment, consignment; last worn here in July with an Agnes B cardigan
  • Shoes - Vogettes Pina, Fluevog; last seen here in September with my cotton Kenzo dress
  • Wool cape (below) - Arola, vintage 70s, thrifted; last worn here in April

I had many admirers of all of my studs - I waggled my feet at my colleague Christopher.
My amazingly contorted Vivienne Westwood skirt continues to delight me - it shifts around and moves in interesting ways when I walk. 

Such fun twists and swoops. 
I pointed out the back studs of the leather jacket to another coworker - these are what sold me on this jacket! 

I didn't take the jacket off at all, but I could have! 
More opportunity to look at the cool skirt. 

Outerwear - it's getting too dark to go incognito! 
Getting in a wearing of my boucle (boo-CLAY) cape. It needs some TLC - the arm openings have come unstitched. 

The stuff: 
I didn't need this thick scarf - it was far too warm. 

  • Cashmere scarf - consignment, Seattle
  • Leather gloves - Roeckl, consignment

Black bling: 
Note my classy broccoli elastic, to keep the end of my belt from flopping around. 

  • Leather belt - Madewell, consignment
  • Crystal/Lucite bangle - Alexis Bittar, consignment, Sidney
  • Gold/Lucite hinged bracelet - Alexis Bittar, consignment, gift from L
  • Earrings - thrifted
  • Silver/obsidian ring - consignment
  • Crystal/silver ring - Soul Flower, c. 2007
  • Silver/kyanite ring - consignment
  • Lapis lazuli ring - Wendy Brandes
  • Necklace - Heidi Daus, thrifted

Someone was lurking around while I was taking pictures. It's Whateley! 
He prefers to be held upright and rubs his face on mine. 

He was also my morning Bathroom Helper. 
"I hope she turns the tap on!"

He's a funny thing - loves water and tearing up bits of paper. 

This little snuggle-by was flopped by the den scratching post. 
"I could use a tummy rub."

They both love those!

  1. That's a neat outfit with the studs, and the cape reminded me that I thought you ought to wear a black and two shades of grey outfit one day to celebrate the kittens, and there, you did!
