Long Weekend: Hat Attack! and Cat-O-Rama!

Ah, long weekends. I would be content if it just continued, but then how would we keep Vizzini in the manner to which he's become accustomed? 

We start off with Saturday morning, dressed for my quick-change at the Ultimate field.

I'm looking longingly at some of my summer clothes and thinking I must get another wear out of them before I pack it all away at the end of September. This skirt is one of those - I last wore it in May, which seems way too long ago, here with red and blue.

As I was walking down the street after lunch, a passerby said to me, "You have a great outfit!" - funny how validation from strangers feels so good.

The cardigan is one of my many trusty Kersh ones (last worn just last weekend here with emerald). I just have a plain cami underneath it, covering up my sports bra.

"Hmmm...what's in here?"

I see Someone Up To No Good! I love when I find these funny backgrounds after timer has gone off.

The shoes get another outing; they were last seen here in July (after my sailing adventure).

"Uh-oh, she spotted me."

Vizzini is always getting into something. He is the nosiest cat we've ever had.

Cardigan (Kersh, consignment), cami (InWear), skirt (Bedo, consignment), shoes (Prepare Guides), belt (Bianca Nygard), earrings (Oscar & Libby's), cuff (thrifted).

Totally a guilty look!

"So busted. And I didn't even get an elastic band out of it."

 We went for lunch after Ulty (a tough game - my team won, though!), and then hung out for a while at home (napping).

We weren't the only nappers.

"Soaking up the sun, like any cat would."

The leaves are starting to fall off the oak trees around our place - it's driving Vizzini nuts.

"Was that a leaf?"

I love how warm his fur is.

After some physical recovery from our morning game, I showered and got ready for Winesday! I missed the last one due to Lawrence's funeral, so it's been a long time for me. I had to send off the summer with a bang.

Woo! That's a lot of pattern.

This is my Hawaiian vintage dress, last worn on Canada Day weekend here in July.

I indulged in a pose with this thrifted 80s hat, purchased back here in June 2012 for $7.00.

Today is Hat Attack! over at the Style Crone's blog! Check out all the other wonderful headgear there!

I didn't wear the hat for Winesday, but I loved how it looked with this dress.

Such an amazing piece. I always feel like I'm wearing a work of art.

I just wore comfy flats for lounging about. I last wore them a lot last weekend here.

I wore my Fossil earrings/bracelet set and a stretchy thrifted silver bracelet, as well as my Wendy Brandes lapis lazuli ring.

Dress (Tori Richard of Honolulu for Andrade of Honolulu, vintage 60s, Joyce's), shoes (La Canadienne, consignment), bracelet/earrings (Fossil), bracelet (thrifted), ring (Wendy Brandes).

While I was waiting for my ride on Saturday night, Vizzini had moved up to the tray on his deck scratching post.

"I lounge like a boss."

I couldn't resist giving him some lovin', which prompted a huge yawn from him

"Bored now. Feed me."

I love his big sea lion whiskers, and how his black/white patterning is actually in his skin - see how it's repeated on the roof of his mouth? Big teeth and pink tongue too!

Such a sweetie.

"If you're done with the paparazzi thing, I'd like to resume my nap." 

On Sunday, L and I walked to town to get groceries and go for brunch.

I totally forgot about these white denim shorts! I haven't worn them at all this summer! I wore them 4 times in the all-neutral June 2012 capsule (recap here), and even noted them as one of the two items I couldn't wait to wear again. This is what happens when I store pants in a drawer (only dressy pants get hung in my closet).

Oh, well, I'll try to get more wear out of them over the next couple of weeks.

The top is my wonderful "Queen of the Faeries" shirt - last seen here in March as part of my bowling outfit.

I recently spotted a cheaper version of this shirt by Point Zero (mine has no label), so it could be that brand. I do love all the details on it.

The sandals were last worn here in early July for painting out in a field (scroll way down).

Shirt (no label, consignment), shorts (Contrast, thrifted), shoes (Kenneth Cole Reaction, consignment).

No "Visible Monday" this week, as Patti is taking a well-deserved break! Hope you all had lovely naps in the sun this weekend.
