I took this picture after I redried my hair, and you can see that the hem of my skirt is dark from the rain. *sigh* Welcome to the "Wet" coast!This jacket is new - I got it with my Dots gift card from my awesome Winesday Women for my birthday. Thank you, guys! You are the greatest!
Of course, I am a major sucker for any kind of brocade or costume-y looking clothing, and I already liked the Naughty brand that I've found at Dots before, so when this jacket fit, it was mine! Mine, I tell you!
I was thrilled to see how well it went with my skirt that I got at Plum's clear-out earlier this year:
Vizzini, not so thrilled. He's giving his toes a good lick.Check out the back of the jacket:
Ah! That sweet little dip at the back, and then it's higher on the sides and lower in the front? Love! I would like to wear this with a bigass full black ballroom skirt (you know I have one).The price on this was $162.00 marked down to $54.99, plus I had a 40% off coupon, so it was $32.99.
The purple parts are a silk/linen blend and the grey parts are a silk and cotton velvet. Mmmmm...velvet...Isn't it cool how well the purples match? It's like they were made for each other.
The stuff:
I had about a dozen people squeal (men and women, although not so much squealing from the men, hee hee) when they saw these shoes - I love having a new audience to appreciate my collection. These are my absolute favourite pair that I own, and I've had them since December 2008.

Can I squeal over that jacket? Because I am. It's gorgeous and it looks like it was made to go with that skirt! The shoes are also a perfect match. Sorry to hear it rained on you! We're due for some here on the East coat tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteWhat darling shoes! And I love your tights again! You have such a variety of colors and designs...quite jealous :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful jacket, the details are gorgeous-you have great friends!
ReplyDeleteHow dare the cats not be humbled in awe of your outfits! And to insult you with a toe lick!?! Don't they know how pointy some of your shoes can get?? But I'm sure you're too nice to use them that way!
ReplyDeleteYou always look great! I Love your jacket! Love your shoes!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see these shoes I go green from envy! Even though the heels are a bit too high for me.
ReplyDeleteThe jacket isn't bad either *going still greener* Congratulations on such a wonderful piece!
