Jan 3rd - Outfit #2 - Floofy Florals

Woo, it was cold today! Frost on the ground and all the rooftops! We don't get a lot of cold weather up here in the Pacific Northwest (the rest of Canada thinks we're wimps) so as delicate West Coast flowers, when it dips below freezing, we all run for our scarves.
I waited until the very last second this morning before I had to leave to get my stair shot - I will have natural like, darn it! 

This is a new-to-me jacket that I picked up back in April (I know! April!) on consignment for $30.00. The brand is notthesame Jeans (the buttons all say NTS). It nearly made it into the neutral November capsule, but then I moved it to January's. 

Despite my love for it (ruffles! ties! ruffles!), it's tricky to style. We'll see how it goes. Today, I have a pink cami on underneath it (not part of the capsule).
The skirt is one that I've had for about a year and a half. It's by Bianca Nygard and I thrifted it for $7.50 - I think I've only worn it once, here in June 2011. Check out those pictures, because they show the dramatic slit action much better than today's poses.

Isn't the back of the jacket sweet?
And a leg! I wore rosy/burgundy tights to go with all the purples and pinks and burgundies in the floral necklace.

This is the first wear of the booties I purchased last week here:
They were pretty comfy, although they'll never be an "all day" kind of shoe. I was disappointed that they look grey in the fluorescent lights at work. "No, they're not grey!"

In addition to my floral necklace, I did little vintage purple earrings and a ring that Dad gave me for Christmas in the 80s.
Purple!

Jacket (notthesame Jeans, consignment), skirt (Bianca Nygard, thrifted), shoes (Feud London), necklace (Harriet Grey), earrings (vintage), ring (vintage 80s, gift from Dad).

  3. Wow, you really did go lighter with your hair. I really like it! For me, it's so much easier to blend the grey when it's lighter. I'm heading in that direction for sure.

    Love seeing those great boots again!

  5. A perfect jacket for those boots! I want to dub them unicorn boots because of the heel! They're so fabulous.

    I also adore your 80s ring. It reminds me of the jewelry my aunt used to make - she was quite the artist in the early 90s!

  9. That jacket and those booties were made for each other. Perfect! The jacket is so unique and I understand what you mean about being difficult to style. I have a jacket in my wardrobe that I also have trouble with but I can't give it up.
