Jul 11th - Outfits #11 and 12 - Zig-Zag, Turquoise and Lyle Lovett

Woo! I'm excited: tonight L and I are off to see Lyle Lovett! We're big fans, but have never seen him live.

I'm also excited because I've been wanting to wear this combination since I planned this capsule:

This is my turquoise dress again, last worn here on my Nerdy Mission. It's just lovely in warm weather.I'm wearing a black camisole with sequins under it (not part of the capsule).

The zigzag cardigan is a fresh item in June's capsule.

I thrifted this at the St. Vincent de Paul back in September 2011 for - get ready - $3.00. It's Le Chateau and is a poly blend. I wore it nearly identically here when I first got it, and also here (3rd outfit) back in January, going with the blue instead of turquoise as the "base" colour.

The stuff:

Everyone loves the zipper rose

The black sandals make another appearance (last worn here).

This is my first wear of this awesome black suede fringe-tie belt. It's vintage...I'd say late 80s/early 90s and is also Le Chateau - bonus: it's made in Canada! Yay! I paid $10.00 for it at a local vintage fair back in the winter. I don't know why I haven't worn it before now - not feeling as creative, I guess!

Cardigan (Le Chateau, thrifted), dress (no label, thrifted), shoes (Jones New York, consignment), belt (Le Chateau, vintage 80s/90s), zipper rose (Victoria & Albert Museum Gift Shop).


For the concert tonight, I wanted to be able to regulate my temperature for the walk down/home and being in the theatre (sometimes hot, sometimes cold, you never know). I'll take some pictures of the Royal Theatre tonight - it's a beautiful old vintage building.

So, I'm still wearing the turquoise jersey dress, but I removed the cardigan, added the same chain belt as yesterday, and put on my gold sandals for walkin'.

Left on the cami.

Even when it's hot here, it always cools off at night from being on the ocean. It's very rare that you wouldn't need a jacket or sweater in the evening. The black boyfriend jacket (last worn here, 1st outfit) saves the day!

And I can cover just my shoulders if I need to.

It's also a good physical sunblock for my very burnable skin.

I'm all ready for a nice mellow evening.

I wanted to wear this jewelry set L bought me about 5 years ago:

I know he bought the set of bracelet and clip-on earrings in an antique shop. I think it's from India. The gold and silver are incised into the metal "plates" which are locked onto their backing. I always love a safety chain on a bracelet. I'm sure the set is vintage, but what decade? I think early 60s.

Dress (no label, thrifted), jacket (Banana Republic, thrifted), shoes (consignment), belt (vintage 60s/70s, Mom's), jewelry (vintage, gift from L).
