Following my grey leather dress on Wednesday, here's my other leather dress again (last seen here):
For only having paid $20, I'm getting good wear out of this dress! I liked the neutral vibe of this outfit - the muted colours kept this from looking too outrageous. After all, I am wearing a sheer blouse (last seen here), a leather dress and massive heels!I had Book Club on Thursday night, so I had to dash to get my outside pictures done before my ride picked me up:
These patterned tights turned out to be snagtastic following their last wear with my Fluevog booties here, which apparently gave them a huge fuzz rim midway up my shins. Shout out to Lesley at work who gave me an awesome tip for tights with snags - turn them inside out! Duh, why did this never occur to me? It's brilliant! The snags and fuzz weren't even visible, and now I have a longer lifespan for these tights, as I would have otherwise chucked them.Recognize the shoes?
I've only worn them once - for New Year's Eve! Mere minutes after I took this picture, my boss called - he'd locked his keys in his office and couldn't go home. Yikes! I ended up standing on the street to hand over my desk key so that he could find the extra key to his office. I wonder what my neighbours thought of me passing something through the window of a car that just drove up, ha!
The stuff:
I wore my scarf today as a belt. It's a long navy and gold Chinese patterned silk scarf (with fringe!) that I bought a couple of months ago for $20 (a bit pricey for consignment, but I was using my credit, so I didn't actually pay any cash for it).
A close-up:
My Grandma J's leaf necklace and my bronze-y leaf earrings. I like the dragons on the scarf.

I lamented over my blogger woes in today's post as well...but your poster is the best!! And so are those shoes...they are FIERCE!! I love the whole look and the shoes just make the outfit!
ReplyDeleteYou and leather dresses! This outfit is indeed fierce. I love all the subtle tones that are working together. Those shoes are badass.
ReplyDeleteI may have said this before, but it bears repeating- I love those shoes!
ReplyDeleteThis outfit looks very sophisticated.
Très chic~
It was so annoying, eh, Pam? Thank you! I love the shoes, and need wear them more.
ReplyDeleteMegan, yeah, I know, I have a thing for leather! I like that the tones are all kind of mis-matched but they still go.
Rita, thank you!
Stupid blogger... The outfit rocks and I think the key element are the shoes! Kisses :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dimi!
