Monday Green Pleats and Gone Black

This is a short week for me, so I spent some time on Sunday pre-planning all of my work outfits. 

I layered this new-to-me blouse under the other pleated dress (I also have it in a light grey/blue/black mix, here).

• Blouse - April Cornell, thrifted; purchased here for $14.96
• Dress - Uniqlo X Claire Waight Keller, thrifted; last seen here in June 2025 with orange bits
• Boots - 7th Heaven Mega Racer, Fluevog; last worn here with snuggly plaid in November 2025
• Coat - C&A Golden Gate Collection, vintage 80s, thrifted; last seen here a couple of weeks ago

I didn't like the blouse AT ALL. It didn't feel good on my skin, so off it goes to Limbo for its next home.

That's okay, I have plenty of other thin black tops (and other colours) that I can layer under this dress. 

Showing the cool version of my outfit. 

Not that I ever walk around like this! 

This is how most people saw me. I hope you can see the big faux fur collar! 

The pleats bloomed and swooshed as I walked. Brr, it was cold out - but it's clear and dry so I'll take it! 

The stuff: 

Ugh, bad lighting today, sorry. The boots are British Racing Green. 

• Scarf - Vera, vintage 80s, Mom's
• Gloves - thrifted

Snake bling:

I'm going through my things with a critical eye. 

• Snake coil cuff - Whiting & Davis. vintage 70s, vintage fair
• Snake bracelet - vintage 90s, consignment
• Snake ring - consignment
• Amber ring - c. 1995
• Earrings - thrifted
• Snake necklace - vintage 90s, vintage expo

Barnabas helped me in the bathroom. 

"I'm watching!"

Such big eyes! 

I caught Whateley sleeping in the round bed again! 

"Not for long, if you keep bothering me."
