Jun 2nd & 3rd - Wild Card and Outfit #3 - Tiki Dress and A Casual Lunch

Today is L's birthday: Happy Birthday, love! You're the best!

Last night was the party, and it was a doozy! It was a "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" theme, so anyone who brought a towel (you can't forget your towel) got a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. And believe me, those were potent. 

I actually stopped drinking at 9:30ish, as I had a 5K WW walk event this morning that I had to be at for 8am. Yeah. I don't think I'm going to sign up to do that anymore. It's just bad timing. 

Anyway, yes! I did the Wild Card outfit for June right off the bat, only 2 days in! 

It's my Tiki dress! I kept singing the "Tiki Room" song (everyone, all together: "In the tiki tiki tiki tiki tiki room, in the tiki tiki tiki tiki tiki room"!) all night; mostly in my head, but sometimes out loud, hee hee.

I've had this vintage dress for 3 years and this is the 4th wear of it. I last wore it in April 2010 (here), previously in September 2009 (here), and got it in June 2009 (here).

It was originally $24.99. It's cotton and has no stretch, so it totally smooshes my boobs, but I love the retro vibe.

Because we had a space theme also going, I went futuristic/retro and wore my leather bracer (picture here), and my Fluevog Babycakes Minis (last worn here for my April Wild Card, second outfit, beware of long post). I also wore my gold clock-hands earrings.

Now, where else can one wear a leather and brass bracer??

Dress (no label, vintage 60s/70s), boots (Fluevog, Babycakes Minis), bracer (SkinZnHydez), earrings (Foxy).

My dear friend Cat looked lovely (and I adore her Smoking Lily skirt!):

She had the best shoes on of the night!

Karen also looked smokin' hot:

What an incredible dress!

The last guests left at 2am, and I got up at 6:30am this morning for the aforementioned 5K walk. Well, I walked to town, did the 5K, then got groceries, then walked home, so it was a little more than 5K for me. I was very happy not to be hungover, but nap-time is calling to me...

We met up with our Vancouver friends, Spence and Kim and their daughter Eloise for brunch today. I was happy to get out of my walking gear and into a new outfit!

This is my brown t-shirt material drapey cardigan, last worn here (2nd outfit) in September 2011. I bought it a little earlier in September (here, 4th outfit), and it's been packed away with my summer stuff since then. It was thrifted for $3.00.

The tunic top has only been worn once before (here), so it was definitely ripe to be included in a capsule. I can't have closet orphans hanging around! All clothes have to pull their weight in my wardrobe or they're outta here!

The tunic was $18.00 on final clearance when the Plum in Victoria closed in March 2011 (I still miss it).

This is also my second wear ever of this wrinkly maxi skirt. Dang, I love maxi skirts!

Vizzini: not so impressed with the maxi skirt - note that the Boob Purse is back in rotation!

I first wore the skirt here. It's one of the more expensive items in my wardrobe (on sale at $99.00 from $149.00), but I used a gift card, so it's not like it was my money (thanks for the birthday present, Mom!). Heh.

I really liked the long loose vibe of this outfit. I'd wear it again!

It's the first wear ever these sandals.

They are Clark's Artisan, and I think they were around $26.00 - I got them on a shopping trip with Victoria blogger Lorinda (she's awesome) back in January. There's a picture of me trying them on with grey tights in this post. These shoes have never been worn.

Cardigan (Alternative Apparel, thrifted), top (Dex), skirt (Club Monaco), shoes (Clark's Artisan, consignment), necklace/earrings (Plum).

Yeah, I'm procrastinating a big on the May re-cap post (they take a long time), so it will probably be tomorrow - I'm off Monday, yay!

And now, nap time.
