And the winner for the best capsule of the 30 For 30 Capsule Challenge is...October! Enjoy it all over again at the recap here.
But I'm getting tired of the capsule thing. It's over, it's done. I want to look at new things!
Crazy chicken-hair lady |
I'm joining Patti's "Visible Monday" at Not Dead Yet Style with this colourful ensemble.
This is the second wearing of this Smoking Lily sample skirt - the last time was here.
Tiki Skirt (Smoking Lily): Outfit #2
I added an ornate bronze metal belt that Mom bought me in London, England many years ago, one of Megan Mae's buttonflowers, and red coral earrings.
L and I had brunch out, then ran some errands in town, so I had to have my walking shoes on.
I liked how the black diamond on the heel went with the skirt.
Of course, I wore my red leather jacket with it!
Can you ever have too much red?
Jacket (Danier Leather), sweater (Pria), skirt (Smoking Lily), shoes (Presence Impulse, Fluevogs), belt (gift from Mom), earrings (locally-made), buttonflower (Megan Mae).
We headed out to visit Mom in the afternoon, and to give her kitty Harlequin some love.
She is 15 years old, and starting to feel her age.
She gets away with murder.
"I stand on your puzzle." |
Aw, such lovin'.
It was a good day for lounging about in front of the fireplace.
"Feed me" |
Today, I walked to the grocery store and had a bit of a meander in the sun.
This top was purchased on consignment for $15.98 in the summer, here in July 2012. I had intended to cram it into August's capsule, but it didn't quite work. It's by Le Chateau and is a nice soft cotton. It has hook-and-eye closures right up the front.
Dorkiest butt-shot ever. |
The skirt is my olive suede Danier maxi that I wore 3 times in the November 2012 all-neutral capsule (recap here), and the boots are my trusty riding-style black boots that I wore 6 times in the December 2012 capsule (recap here).
Anyway, let's get the voting underway!
White and Red Roses Top (Le Chateau): Outfit #1
I'll have my cost-per-wear down to pennies in no time!
Jacket (Danier Leather), top (Le Chateau, consignment), skirt (Danier Leather, thrifted), boots (Aldo, consignment).
Awww, your Mum's cat is a sweetie, maybe spoiled but well-deserved at her revered age : ) the new tiki skirt is yummy, love it with your hose and the awesome leather coat! Thanks for linking up.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that tiki skirt! Gorgeous!

The skirt is great, mustard and red are an excellent combination.
ReplyDeleteAnd the little rose top is pretty, doesn't it fit you perfectly? It will look gorgeous with floofy lightweight skirts in summer! xxxx
I like the way the shape of the toe-box on those shoes mirrors the shape of the triangles on the skirt. Also I second everything past caring said!
ReplyDeleteReally like the yellow with that skirt! It's an amazing piece, another definite keep from me! :) Your mum's cat is so cute - loved the photo of her on the puzzle! They can be so cheeky but we love them anyway :)
ReplyDeleteI love the tiki skirt so much!! Looks great with the mustard sweater!
ReplyDeleteYour mom's cat is so pretty! My family's cat lived to be almost 19, just shows when you take good care of your furry friends they can be around a long time!
Your "mustardlook" is great!
ReplyDeleteOh i love that first outfit.
ReplyDeleteLooking at you from behind ... the tights, the pattern skirt, the belt, the shoes! it all just comes together - too bad you had to wear a jacket because you covered up . Hope you try this again in the summer.
That coat is a year round love affair isn't it? It seems to go with everything. I love the rose top- but yeah, I wish the roses were blooming more in the front. Your figure is blooming madly, I love how your curves curl.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really cute skirt. Can wear it any season.
ReplyDeleteLove the tiki skirt with the mustard top-gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThe rose top is really pretty--so summery looking!
You mom's cats is adorable!!
How much do I love your coat?! It seems to go with everything. Love the gorgeous spicy colours in the first outfit, and the romance of the second outfit.
ReplyDeleteNice also to see your Mum again on the blog, and Harlequin. What a lovely name for a cat.
I was all set to talk about how much I love that skirt, and then you gave me kitty pictures! OMG what a lovely girl, Harlequin (Harly-Queen?), is. She looks like a pampered spoiled kitty cat, which I love to see.
ReplyDeleteI love the fit of the floral top on you. It's fantastic.
ALSO FLOOF HAIR! How can I not mention that!! SO cute.
ReplyDeleteYou are rocking that skirt! And the red---love, love, love. So nice to meet you through Miss Patti's Not Dead Yet Style
ReplyDeleteSo love the Tiki skirt ... really of the moment, so not ready for recycle yet! I can imagine so many ways to wear it for the coming spring! Always beautiful in red, kid, and the roses suit your romantic nature.
ReplyDeleteI've been scrolling through catching up and getting inspiration...! I have not yet told you how much I love your hair and new specs. "I love them!" They are both fun, funky, and young. Can't wait to meet up.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, your Mom's Harlequin is the spitting image of my late Sophie. *sniffle*
ReplyDeleteWe all love our kitties so.
No, you can never have too much red. EVER. I do like the tiki skirt but I think it needs to be about 3" shorter. I really like it with your funky tights.
ReplyDeleteI need to go through your blog and see how you've styled maxi skirts. I have 4 and I try to wear them but I can't seem to successfully put them together with things.
