Manufactured Sunshine and Random Catness

Yellow is my super-power colour - when I need a boost, out comes the yellow. Tuesday after a long weekend? Definitely yellow.
This is my lovely and yellow dress that I wore 3 times in the July 2012 capsule (recap here). The weather is still warm, although not as hot, so this was perfect.
  
I didn't feel like being overly fussy with accessories, although I have a lot of them on, including this vintage scarf that Megan Mae sent me.
As always, the backs of the shoes are a wee surprise!

The stuff:
I last wore the orange/yellow shoes here, while being a daisy.

I liked how all the silver accessories went together.
All thrifted or gifts except for the Wendy Brandes ring.

I discovered that the scarf has a label on it.

How cool! 

Dress (Calvin Klein), shoes (Portia), belt/ring/cuff (thrifted), lapis lazuli ring (Wendy Brandes), earrings (gift from Aunt Kathy).

And now, some random catness from Vizzini. 
"I'm napping here!"
Lolling about in the sun under his scratching post. For Tanya who asked: we have two big scratching posts, each between 5 and 6 feet tall. 

He's decided that under the coffee table is a good nap spot:

"Flopping, napping...it's what a cat does."
He proceeded with attacking the pencil sharpener.

He had been sleeping at the top of the leopard, 6' tall post:
"Wait, I have to get down - are you going to feed me?"
He rarely stays in one place for long.

  1. Hi Sheila! You ladies who can wear yellow so beautifully make me jealous! I just posted about how I cannot wear it, at all! LOL. I love the gratuitous cat pictures. The scarf from Megan is great, and you are right the shoes are a surprise from the back!

    Happy Tuesday Evening,
    xoxo

  8. Lovely and bright! I love the shoes, and the little blue accents in the scarf and ring.

    It's still hot here, but the humidity has dropped a bit. It was pretty sticky and over 90 (32C?) since last Thursday, so I'm glad it's cooling even slightly!

  12. Hope you are in less pain now? Fight it with beautiful yellow.

    My (newish) neighbour has a cat just like Vizzini! I am quite allergic to cats, so I am so happy she (lady, unlike V) comes and pads round the garden when I am out there - the experience of cat owning without the sneezing. Although, I caught her trying to get into the bedroom window tonight, bad kitty.
