Periodontal Armour - Neons and Grey Bell

Whoo, another visit to the periodontist is now in the rear-view mirror. As always, it's a bit of a blur due to the "happy pill" and I have enough energy now to finish up a quick post for y'all. 

Blogging dedication! Also, I wanted to get this done, as Mom-Day is tomorrow, and do you think there might be pictures? (I do!). 

• Cropped blazer - Only, consignment; last seen here (2nd outfit) in October 2025 with a black and white pouffy skirt
• Cotton sweater - Zara, consignment; last worn here in November 2025 for Mom-Day at Beaver Lake
• Skirt - Kokomarina, thrifted; last seen here in March 2025 with orange angels
• Boots - Slacker Vagabond, Fluevog; last worn here in November 2025 with this cotton sweater
• Coat (below) - Banana Republic, consignment; last seen here (way down) in December 2025

I dressed with comfort in mind, plus armour, and for walking. This grey woolly bell skirt appealed to me for sitting in the chair for an hour and a half. 

And the neon green with hits of bright pink really helped me (and my tech Michelle, hi!) feel a bit more cheery. It is a wool/cotton blend, and feels like fleece. 

"I wore this for you!" I said to her. Well, in part. 

I did really like the mix of colours here, though.

Even more neon brights for my outerwear. 

The people at the bus stop really enjoyed this - a lovely person on the bus told me how much she liked all my colour. 

Accoutrements: 

I bought this bag on my pre-Christmas shopping at Value Village, intending to give it to one of my nieces, but I gave her something else instead and kept it for myself! More pics below. 

• "Paris" bag - Robin Ruth, thrifted; purchased in December for $7.95
• Silk scarf - Fluevog
• Wool beret - thrifted
• Heart pin - consignment
• Suede gloves - Dots

The stuff: 

Comfy boots for walking to the bus stop, then to the periodontist office. 

• Belt - Ralph Lauren, thrifted
• Metal/glass flower brooch - vintage 60s, Mom's
• Gold-tone bangle - thrifted
• Pink stone/gold cuff - D'Orlans, vintage 70s, vintage mall, gift from L
• Necklace - Anne Klein, vintage 80s, Grandma J's
• Gold/amethyst ring - Frances Jewelers, c. 1965, Dad's 
• Silver/crystal ring - Uffizi Gallery gift shop, Florence, Italy
• Enameled metal earrings - thrifted

Gold bling: 

I wore the flower pin on my coat. 

The 100% cotton bag is by Robin Ruth, and I saw bags similar on their site for $78 on sale for $39. Not bad for $7.99!

The design is very "Stephen Sprouse X Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton" (like my Lewis Vuitton scarves), so I think this has a bit of age on it. This exact style isn't made anymore (their straps are now adjustable), but I saw plenty of these online with other city's names on them. 

It came with the original rubber hang-tag. 

It really is good quality! 

It has a beautiful striped cotton lining, with pockets for stuff, and a zipped pocket for my wallet. 

I suspect this was an airport gift shop purchase by someone who went to...Paris! 

I nearly forgot! Kitten pictures! As I was writing my blog/Substack last night, I realized I had company. 

"I'm helping!"

I lay out all of my clothes and accessories the night before so that I don't have to think in the morning. "Where's your brother?" I asked Barnabas. 

"This is all so droll."

Such a big yawn from Whateley! 

Then they both "guarded" my sweater and boots. Thanks, guys. 

"You're welcome."     "I can't see!"

They are nearly all healed up, and feeling frisky, as always.
