Grey and Yellow Armour (and Daisies)

Being back at work was a bit of a shock to the system! I had over 100 emails - and did not make it through them all - and I barely budged from my desk all day. Too much! 
I had an inkling it would be double-plus-un-fun to be back, so I armoured up in my best colour: YELLOW!

  • Nylon daisy jacket - Stella McCartney X Adidas, consignment, Vancouver; last worn here (2nd outfit) in August 2025 to go for a hike with pals Steve and Bev
  • Cotton sweater - Ralph Lauren, vintage 80s, thrifted; last seen here in February the day after Mom fell
  • Wool skirt - Megan Salmon Somersault Sculpted Pleat Skirt, Fountainhead collection, Winter 2020; last worn here with sparkle on Christmas Eve, December 2025
  • Boots - F-Stop Etta, Fluevog; last seen here (2nd outfit) in March for brunch in pink and green

Yellow daisy centres, yellow cotton sweater. 
Yellow boots! 

I had to take the nylon jacket off for the morning, as I was warm from walking to work. 
My colleagues loved all the yellow. So did the kittens - they come running when they hear the camera timer beeping. 

I scooped up Whateley for a picture. He held still really well! Good boy! 
You can see the structure of this dark grey skirt well there. Many folds! 

Incognito. I'm happy to have this - my very first piece of Weird Adidas! - jacket back in my closet. 
It has a two-way zip that I like to play with - I wore it in a few different positions over the day. 

The stuff: 
This scarf is also back in my collection. None of my yellows quite matched, but I'm okay with that. 

  • Silk scarf - vintage, thrifted

Bold bling: 
I paid $3.00 for the big yellow bangle, and $1.00 for the steel one - they have to be one of my best cost-per-wear accessories! 

  • Plastic cuff - thrifted
  • Steel cuff - Lakeland Art Metal Works, thrifted
  • Loopy silver ring - consignment, Sidney
  • Snake ring - BC Museum gift shop, 1985
  • Silver/crystal ring - Soul Flower
  • Fingerprint earrings - Daisung Kim, MoMA, thrifted
  • Star brooch - consignment
  • Silver/onyx necklace - Mexican, consignment, Powell River

Care for a close-up? 
"Who do you keep talking to?"


Kitties enjoying the deck.
Soaking up the sun. Whateley matches my pillows! 

Barnabas was giving lovey eyes. 
Now I'm dreading their wrath when we close the deck in early October...
