Catch-Up: Blue and Birds, Vizinni, Lounging and Aqua Fringe

Whew! It's been a whirlwind of stuff the last couple of days. Miss me? I've been working late, going out and generally living a very busy life.

Here's Thursday's outfit:

I had intended to wear a cardigan and sweater with the Happy Wanderer skirt, but I'd forgotten that the skirt is way too big on my waist (it has gone to the giveaway pile), so I had to scramble to put an outfit together at the last minute in the morning. I already had the jewelry and boots assembled, so I had to work with them. Plus I had the socks on and I wasn't going to go hunting for tights when time was a-tickin'.

This is my chunky indigo blue sweater, last seen here (3rd outfit, after the Mad Hatter) in October.

The skirt was adored by me when I wore it in the October 2012 capsule (recap here), where I wore it three times (last time here). I thrifted it for only $7.50 and I totally scored there. The quality is superb.

The boots are my similarly adored Babycakes Minis boots, last seen here (3rd outfit, after the golden disco girl!) in early October.

The stuff:

Put a bird on it! It makes everything better.

A less-dark picture:

Yesterday after work, Elaine and I went out for dinner, then went to see "Out of Africa" - we're reading the book for Book Club and neither of us had seen it. It was good, but very long. I got home quite late. *yawn*

Sweater (Dex, thrifted), skirt (Julius, with a W&J Wilson label, thrifted), boots (Babycakes Minis, Fluevog), belt/earrings (Plum), necklace (gift from Mom), key ring (Oscar & Libby's), spinner ring (Twang & Pearl).

One of my coworkers told me I was on the Unlimited Woman's Facebook page, so I grabbed the picture.

L calls this “Delightfully overwrought and romantic.”

See? I really do lounge around on the floor.

A few of you have asked about Vizzini - he's been around. He's full of beans.

"Go away...unless you're going to feed me."

He's been acting very silly lately.

"What, can't a cat sit in peace?" 

I love the look on his face. He was biting the couch. I think he is trying to eat it. Yes, the whole couch.

Today, I had to work late to finish the newsletter. My boss is back from vacation on Tuesday (Monday is a holiday here, Remembrance Day), so I had to finish it before then, and I'm definitely not up for working late on a Friday night before a long weekend!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! I love this skirt. It makes a loud noise when I walk.

I last wore this fabulous fringed suede skirt in the January 2013 capsule (recap here), last time here with my embroidered black velvet blazer. I paid only $10 for it a few years ago. Score!

I wore my new-to-me thrifted black suede shirt today - oh, it was marvellously soft and pliable to wear. Love love love it. I purchased it here for $24.99.

The boots are my grey wooly Fluevogs, last worn here (2nd outfit) to the Vintage Fair.

The stuff:

My lovely Shi Studio belt. I like the nubby texture of the leather.

Leather shirt (True Character, thrifted), suede skirt (vintage 70s, thrifted, Pioneer Wear), boots (Prepare Volunteers, Fluevogs), "S" charm (gift from Mom & Dad), earrings (Oscar & Libby's), Fulvia Ring (Wendy Brandes).
