But let's not get ahead of ourselves, and instead revel in the fun outfits from Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
On Friday, I had a haircut in the early evening. L and I were both "people'd out" from the previous couple of days, so I just threw on an easy Jammy Dress and dashed off to my appointment.
Such a sweet boy!
I walked both ways (about 3km total), and didn't bother with much make-up, and this is my air-dried hair, all long and fluffy - definitely needing a trim.
I have wee shorts on, and layered the long vest for its pockets.
Whateley "helped."
Forgot to take pics with my sunglasses on, but I wore them whenever I was outdoors.
I had a nice quick visit with Kaitlyn, catching up.
More snuggles before I left.
The stuff:
I wore a bunch of my new-to-me silver from the trip to Sidney.
Silver bling:
It was all excellent!

- Silver/obsidian thin bracelet - Mexican, consignment, Sidney; purchased here for $95.00
- Silver "Anneke & Lars" ring - vintage mall
- Silver chain ring - Mexican, consignment
- Silver pinkie ring - consignment; purchased here for $20.00
- Silver/obsidian ring - consignment
- Silver earrings - Mexican, consignment; purchased here for $25.00
Shall we play some games when I get home?
The kitties patrolled while I was gone.
I always look up from street level to see if I can spot them (not so far).
Barnabas was all tuckered out after his patrol.
He's adopted this chair too.
I passed a deer on my way to my haircut.
She was keeping a close eye on me.
Turned to watch...
...as I walked by.
I love the bold citrus orange colour of this shirt.
After a fun evening of board games, music and hilarity, we were up - not early! - and got ready for brunch at John's Place, followed by a grocery shop for the party on Saturday night.
I skipped all the new-to-me stuff and just picked what I felt like wearing. Velvet trousers, it shall be!
- Denim jacket - 500 Cinqcent Maison, thrifted; first worn here (3rd outfit) with pink and green in April for a long weekend hangout with friends
- Cotton ruffled blouse - Ralph Lauren, thrifted; last seen here in May 2025 with Marimekko and bold blue
- Velvet trousers - Anthropologie, consignment, Powell River; last worn here in March with an orange blazer
- Sandals - Aerosoles, consignment; last seen here (3rd outfit) in that same April outfit as the denim jacket
It was cloudy and even rained a bit, so I needed a jacket.
But I didn't mind bare feet with my sandals!
I only took the jacket off while we had brunch.
As always, the pants look so much better in natural light.
They shimmer!
The stuff:
We're almost getting to sandal weather!
- Leather purse - Soruka, thrifted, Powell River
- Parrot brooch - vintage fair
Silvery bling:
Getting in a first wearing of my silver/gold sparkly necklace.
- Belt - vintage 90s, consignment
- Steel/crystal heart cuff - Juicy Couture, vintage 90s, consignment
- Nu-wite/glass bracelet - R&G Co., vintage 1920s, vintage mall
- Silver/crystal ring - Soul Flower
- Silver/amethyst ring - vintage mall
- Crystal necklace - FAC Fifth Avenue Collection, thrifted, Sidney; purchased here for $16.00
- Earrings - thrifted
We had a lovely brunch.
L needs more coffee! He's wearing the new Ted Baker shirt I bought him for his birthday. Looks awesome!
I usually do at least one outfit change...and I did this time too!
To be fair, it was close to the kittens' dinner time.
This was my early outfit, worn until about 10:30pm.
I wanted to feel flowy and swooshy.
"Wings" for sleeves, an orangs snake print, and long necklaces, and another wearing of this crinkled Babette skirt.
I had more "help" with my pictures.
The stuff:
I love Whateley's foot just laying on his brother's leg.
A mix of metals, and easy shoes for lots of mingling.
- Brass/copper cuff - Karen's
- Nu-wite/glass bracelet - R&G Co., vintage 1920s, vintage mall
- Amber/silver rings - both consignment
- Triple-strand necklace - Nine West, thrifted, Sidney; purchased here for $15.00
- Earrings - Justine Clenquet, consignment, gift from L
- Metal/glass cross necklace - Lalique, vintage 90s, vintage mall
- Crystal necklace - FAC Fifth Avenue Collection
The kittens hung out at the party for a little while - including Barnabas going full tummy-rub with a circle of people! - then mostly left us to our devices.
Barnabas seems unbothered by it.
They aren't fazed by much.
I kicked the shoes off at some point.
After 10:30pm, I slipped off into my closet, and changed into my Mrs. Roper caftan.
This seemed like the appropriate way to end the evening.
When you have a caftan, you can't just save it for the pool parties, though - you need to wear it!
More outfit inspection.
I felt wonderfully cool in this and wafted around, dancing and carousing until the wee hours.
The stuff:
I had to wear these massive earrings - they were great!
- Bakelite cuff - vintage 50s, vintage mall, gift from L
- Yellow cuff - thrifted
- Steel/Lucite ring - Calvin Klein, thrifted
- Silver/crystal ring - Soul Flower
- Earrings - vintage 80s, thrifted, Sidney; purchased here for $8.00
We had a lovely party - missed some of our folks who were out of town or not feeling well, including our usual photographer (Randall) - but the only pictures are these:
Whateley going full splay mode! What a weirdo.
And while neither of them even tried to go after the food, they were aware of it sitting out.
And now, back to Real Life! I do not want to go to work tomorrow...
