One More Day of Bland - and a White Top

I am so happy to go back to red hair! I dyed it tonight, so just pretend it's red in today's outfit pictures, m'kay?

This is a sort-of repeat of an outfit from last June:

Both the seersucker skirt and the grey jacket/vest thing were featured in the all-neutral June 2012 capsule (recap here). I wore the jacket twice and the skirt thrice, including this outfit where I wore both of them together (my red hair looks so good there!)

The white top is new-to-me, purchased on consignment for $15.00 back here in January to console myself after Vizzini ate my Fluevogs. It's by Le Chateau and it zips up the side and is fully lined - I adore the bands of lace, the lace trim, the little buttons up the front and the great cut. It was really nice to wear, stayed put, covered my cleavage and yet wasn't dowdy. I'm looking forward to a warm day so that I can wear it on its own.

I am gradually replacing my crap-quality camisoles with nicer and better-made ones with more special detail, and this fits the bill nicely. I have a feeling I'll wear this a lot as a layering piece.

I also wore my newly-thrifted $2.00 Beechers Brook silky scarf in my hair to cover up the horrid ashy-blonde grossness.

You are all too kind to say nice things about it - your mothers all raised you well, hee hee.

This skirt is supremely flouncy! We had a fire drill today and the edges ruffled as I went down the stairs. I can resist twirling when I wear it.

The stuff:

These lavender booties are so crazy-cool. I wore them three times in the January 2013 capsule (recap here). They were not the most practical shoes on such a busy day (over 13,000 steps on my pedometer), but my feet feet fine. I loved how they worked with the purple shades in this scarf.

I also really liked wearing my homegrown vintage 80s amethyst jewelry. It makes me think of my dad.

 Except for the key and the chain, all gifts from Mom & Dad.

I went looking for Vizzini this morning. Not on the deck, not on the bed, where the heck could he be?

"I'm sleeping on a mofo pillow, woman."

I had to give him a little cuddle. It was worth being a few minutes late at work. Aw.

Oh, and preview:

Red red red red RED!
