I built this outfit around the brooch, which has blue stones and is set in copper (a nice change from silver & gold):

I also wanted to wear these shoes that I forgot I owned, so I messed about and came up with this:

The shoes are from 1999, from when Eaton's department store closed in my city. I just always liked the shape. And who'da thunk: platforms and chunky heels? Deja vu! Let's party like it's 1999!
The stuff:
This past Monday was my Mom's birthday. Happy Birthday, Mom! You're the absolute best. When I grow up, I want to be just like you.
Dress (Mac & Jac), cardigan (Jacob), cami (Esprit), belt (Plum), brooch (Oscar & Libby's), shoes (Sam & Libby's - when do I get to call them vintage?).
Pretty blue dress. Isn't it fun when you find a pair of loved shoes that you forgot you had? I love that!
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty cool. I have a bunch of shoes that I've never shown on the blog, actually. A few vintage ones, a few that aren't work-appropriate. I'll have to see what I can drag out.
