Somewhat Festive (and A Vizzini Update)

Today, I sorted through all the office supplies and crap that people left in their desks, so I wanted to be warm, comfortable and have low-heeled shoes on. It called for Fluevogs!

I also wanted to wear this new skirt I thrifted:

I was told I looked "festive" today - since when is olive green and burgundy festive?

This is the second wear of my fuzzy sweater (worn with a grassier green top underneath).

I fell in love with this skirt:

It's a bit of a mullet skirt, it's wool, it's lined, it has gorgeous seams that are piped in olive green, it has a cute little kick-pleat in the back, and it has that groovy sewn decoration on the front.

It also has NO LABEL, which frustrates me. It seems like it's handmade, but I know it's not Smoking Lily. I bet it's another local designer, but I have no real clue. It's a mystery!

Vizinni was sitting on the post about 2 feet from me, staring while I took my pictures.

"I swallow your soul!"

A few minutes later, he got his leg caught on the arm of the computer chair and hurt himself. I was so panicked! He was howling and hissing and not putting any weight on it. I pulled him out from under the bed and sat him on my robe, and gently touched all along his leg. He didn't bite me and didn't react to any area in particular. L took him to the vet mid-day and they said it was just a deep bruise. He has some kitty aspirin and is snoozing in the living room. I'm sure he'll be fine, but what a scare!

In other news, he has:
- eaten two oven mitts
- stolen my access card (still not found)
- destroyed a phone cord
- destroyed a pair of headphones
- knocked my glass of milk over, flooding the keyboard, necessitating a replacement.

I really hope he grows out of this phase soon.

*ahem* Back to clothes. My outerwear:

My faux fur, my thrifted hat and my suede jacket.

Here's a close-up of the skirt's decoration:

That's pretty detailed sewing and looks like it's all by hand.

Oh, I paid this much for the skirt:

I was happy with that!

The stuff:

My cherry red Fluevog Senscha Teapots. I am jonesing for new Fluevogs. This March will be our 15th wedding anniversary, so L and I will be making our annual Fluevog pilgrimage to the flagship store in Vancouver (this is last year's trip).

The jewelry:

The ring is new, gotten on sale at Club Monaco for $15 - the stone is real, and I like the detail on the setting and all around the band.
