Twofer: Leather Shirt and Pink Plaid-o-Rama

Hey! I didn't mean to miss a day, but my company had its annual massive global gathering, and of course, I worked it and then went out for drinks with coworkers. I may have had one Manhattan too many. Yeah, I definitely did. I had a wee headache this morning. When will I learn? Tsk tsk, drinking on a school night.

Anyway, here's what I've been wearing. First up: leather shirt.

Pretty amazing, isn't it? I last wore it in February here, over my red dress.

The skirt is a simple olive green one - I've had it for ages. I got a few compliments on my overall look as being chic and sleek.

I last wore it here in June with a black top as well. Quite a different look this time, though!

And yeah, I gave in yesterday and wore tights - it's cold in the mornings!

The stuff:

I adore these Cydwoq shoes. I need another pair of them (boots!). They were packed away with the autumn/winter gear (as was the leather shirt) - I last wore them here in March to see a hockey game. I got rid of the tiki skirt, by the way - it was one of the items I put in the swap back in September.

My outfit was basically built to show off my groovy 70s bracelet and necklace.

I wore earrings from a decade earlier.

Shirt (Danier, thrifted), skirt (Club Monaco, consignment), shoes (Cydwoq), necklace/cuff set (vintage 70s, thrifted), earrings (Renoir, vintage 60s, thrifted).

Thank goodness I had the bare bones of an outfit ready to go this morning. It was rather difficult to drag my butt out of bed.

Pink, burgundy and purple!

It was a lovely morning. This (as well as my neighbour in the apartment cropped out of the foreground) is what I saw as I perched on the stairs.

Isn't that glorious? I love seeing the sun on the Castle, and the sun on the oak trees.

I'm wearing my pink velvet blazer. It was pretty wrinkly this morning from being packed away, but the wrinkles fell out during the day.

I last wore it here for Pink Shirt Day in February. I love this dusty pink with tones of reds and burgundys.

The skirt is actually a cape! I have two of them, both purchased second-hand and almost never worn as capes (they tend to ride up when I lift my arms). I haven't worn this one since the final capsule in January (recap here), in this outfit here when I was sick.

Sweet boot goodness:

I KNOW. These are one of my favourite pairs of boots, just for the pure aesthetic wonder of them. They are the Velazquez Baroques (and if it ain't baroque, don't fix it, hee hee), last seen here in February with one of my wacky outfits featuring the ship dress.

Jacket (Nougat London, consignment), cami (Jackpot), skirt-as-cape (Smoking Lily, consignment), boots (Velazquez Baroque, Fluevog), necklace (consignment).

I actually took these pictures on Tuesday night. Vizzini was being a jerk and running around trying to get our attention. Finally he gave up.

"I'm just going to sit here in my house and glare at you."

I love the expression of outrage.

"If you put your fingers in my house, I'll bite you."

That's what he does; he's very bitey. He doesn't break the skin, though.
