A Backdrop for Grandma's Copper

Today's outfit was based around my original set of copper jewelry that my Grandma J gave me back in 1986. 

I wanted to wear this copper belt as well, and built the outfit around that.

• Hemp blouse - Sure 1032, consignment; last seen here (2nd outfit) in June for brunch and Winesday
• Skirt - Attitude, vintage 90s, consignment; last worn here (3rd outfit) in May for our Spring Burrito Birthday Bash
• Canvas/leather boots - Donald J. Pliner, consignment, Sidney; last seen here (3rd outfit) with the same skirt in May

I was interviewed by a jewelry writer about Grandma's jewelry (link here, totally safe, no ads!), isn't that cool? I had to show it off, and needed a backdrop.

This hemp top has the perfect neckline for her necklace, and the skirt has an orange iridescence that goes with all of my copper. 

Incognito. 

I loved wearing this skirt again - I play with the creases and folds in it. 

The stuff: 

I last wore the boots and skirt together, along with this scarf. When you have a winning combo, wear it again! 

• Silk scarf - Banana Republic, consignment
• Copper belt - Renoir, vintage 50s, vintage fair

The copper belt made me sit up straight! 

Copper bling: 

It's always good to wear my copper. It warms up and is very comforting to wear. 

• Copper/enamel cuff - Matisse by Renoir, vintage 60s, vintage fair
• Copper cuff - Renoir, vintage 50s, Grandma J's
• Copper necklace - vintage 50s, Grandma J's
• Copper/enamel earrings - Matisse by Renoir, vintage 60s, Grandma J's
• Copper ball ring and copper/glass ring - both vintage, consignment
• Copper/turquoise ring - vintage, Grandma J's

Speaking of comforting...

Whateley's lurking in the background. 

I found this picture on the camera when I uploaded my photos. 

L took it before I was up. Aw, cute kittens!
