Oct 10th - Outfit #9 - Now That's a Red Belt

I woke up this morning to fog, thick layers of it over the treetops. This called for warm layers.

This is my stretchy peplum jacket by Armour Jeans that I got in September 2010 for $6.00 thrifted - I first wore it here, with a lacy skirt.

I last wore it here in January 2012 with a leather vest over it (one of my favourite outfits ever!), and previously here last December with a simple ultrasuede skirt, and in August 2011 with some two-tone shoes that haven't made it into a capsule just yet, and in April 2011 with my denim maxi skirt (I just love that skirt). And let's not forget my "rusty blah" outfit of December 2010.

I'm just wearing a red cami underneath it. And there's my Smoking Lily linen skirt again (last seen here with my orange velvet jacket), although today I had to wear a slip under it to ward off serious tights-creep.

The boots are my Coffee Kope Tiams again, last worn here with blue and gold.

A look at the peplum back of the jacket (and my wrinkles from sitting!).

I liked how the orange/rusty tights worked with the dark red belt - the skirt has both colours in its patterns.

L got me this wonderful obi belt for my birthday - isn't the colour amazing?

It's a thinner leather than my black leather obi, and the straps are much longer. The front is also roughly pleated so that it gives it a more rustic look than smoother, thicker leather. It's locally made, but I don't know the maker.

For my jewelry, I hauled out some oldies: my Bakelite beads. I made the earrings from a strand off each side of the necklace. I also have a matching bracelet.

I bought them in an antique shop many years ago, to celebrate getting a job. Funny, I can't remember which job it was now!

Jacket (Armor Jeans, thrifted), cami (Ricki's), skirt (Smoking Lily, consignment), booties (Coffee Kope Tiam, Fluevogs), belt (gift from L), necklace/earrings (vintage Bakelite), floral ring (Sarah Coventry, vintage 70s), spinner ring (Twang & Pearl).

Thank you all for your sweet comments on my birthday party and my actual birthday - I so much appreciate each and every one! Sorry I haven't been visiting blogs lately - so busy...will come by soon! And last, but not least, thank you to the new people who've found me through other blog friends. You're all awesome!
