Blue Robe, Patchwork Roses and Rehomed Turquoise

Woo! Tomorrow is Canada Day and then Thursday is my day off. Two days in a row in the middle of the week - how decadent. 

I decided to go bold and paired up this new-to-me blue drapey robe with my DVF patchwork dress. 

• Wool/silk dress - Diane Von Furstenberg, thrifted; last seen here in June 2025 with blue shoes
• Dragon kimono topper - Golden Bee, thrifted; purchased here for $14.95
• Shoes - Prepare Guide, Fluevog; last worn here (3rd outfit) in May for Mack's birthday party (I was a jellyfish!)

I loved having two extra pockets, although the robe fabric is very delicate, so nothing heavy in them. 

I actually discovered several areas of the neckline edging where it was separating from the robe - I whipped out my needle and thread and sewed them all up. 

I loved the loose swooshy fit of it.

Whateley is intrigued. 

And the dragon matches the dress! 

I loved all this colour - it made me happy. 

It's such a great dress. I love all the giant cabbage roses on it, and it has pockets. 

This is my third time wearing it - I have worn it with these shoes before. I deliberated keeping it out for fall/winter layering last year and I'll have to consider that again - I do prefer short skirts with tights. 

Incognito. 

It was chilly enough to need a scarf! Brr! Thankfully it was sunny on the way home, but still not exactly hot. 

The stuff: 

Bugs to go with all those roses! 

• Silk bug scarf - Smoking Lily, 1997, gift from Janet

Turquoise bling: 

A good mix. The ear-balls are awesome. 

• Brass/pearl/turquoise/crystal cuff - Myka, consignment
• Turquoise stone bracelet - thrifted, Sidney
• Big silver/turquoise ring - consignment
• Silver/turquoise thumb ring - consignment
• Gold-tone/turquoise ring - consignment
• Ear-balls - Sziska, thrifted, Sidney
• Turquoise stone necklace (not shown) - vintage mall, gift from L

You might have noticed something missing in the bling picture...

My gorgeous colleague Angie admired my chunky turquoise necklace. I was feeling "meh" about it, and she LOVED it...better to someone who really loves it, right? I'm happy it's gone to a good home. 

And lastly, before I take a small break, Whateley would like to challenge Barnabas for sexy kitty. 

HA! What a silly boy.

I'll be back on Thursday after Mom-Day - Happy Canada Day!
