July 6th & 7th - Outfits #6 & #7 - Casual Friday and Orange You Glad It's the Weekend?

Yesterday was such a weird day. I met up with L and some friends who'd been on vacation after work. I drank too much wine (after missing lunch) and crashed when I got home. I guess I needed the sleep, though!

A repeat of my black jacket from Thursday (here), and three fresh items for the capsule.

This orange-y top has beading at the neckline. It's t-shirt material and has lots of room. Very comfy for warm weather, which has finally (finally!) started to smile upon us.

I first wore it here (2nd outfit) last June 2011, thrifted at the Hospice store for $4.50 (with store tags still on it!), and since then just here in August 2011 (last outfit).

This is my new-to-me denim skirt with the Canadian Coat of Arms buttons (picture) on it (purchased here for $7.99 at Value Village). It's by Stockerpoint. It was soft and lovely to wear!

The stuff:

My Fluevog Listen Up Ivanna shoes. I've had these since October 2008 (first wear). I bought them in Vancouver on a shopping trip with Ruth - they were on sale for about $199. I didn't like them until I put them on, then I was all, "Ooooohhhh....pretty!"

I've worn them a lot: here (March 2009), here (June 2009), here (Aug 2009), here (Oct 2009), here (Dec 2009), here (Jan 2010), here (Aug 2010), here (Nov 2010), here (April 2011). I guess 10 times previously is not all that much, but considering I have over 80 pairs of shoes, I think that's a pretty good average. My cost is down to under $20 per wear! And they are extremely comfortable, even for a 4" heel.

I took some inspiration from the lovely Megan and did pins on my jacket like she often does.

My crow (on a Scrabble tile) from Raven's Rest Studios, my actual Scrabble tile pin, and a cheapy little button I bought at the agricultural fair a few years ago for $2.00.

Jacket (Banana Republic, thrifted), top (Jana, thrifted), skirt (Stockerpoint, thrifted), shoes (Listen Up Ivanna, Fluevog), belt/wrist wrap (Club Monaco), gear cuff (SkinzNHydez), crow pin (Raven's Rest Studio), earrings (LA Express, vintage 90s).


Today, I am off to WW then to the field for a game of Ultimate Frisbee! We were on hiatus for a month due to vacations of our main players, so I'm excited to be out playing again.

As always, I like to wear outfits that are light for weighing in, and easy to change into/out of at the field.

This sweater is a Liz Claiborne (first worn here in January). I bought it for $14.99 on consignment.

The skirt is by Dex and I got it here in January 2011 for $7.00 at the Hospice store. I last wore it in June 2011 (here), and previously here (April 2011).

Wearing my gold sandals again (last worn here).

I've already dinged the toes up - arg!

My gold leaf earrings round it off.

Hope you have a great weekend!
