Cranes and Snowflake...and an Awards Tease

Ah, this is a short week! I am so excited! 
All not-recently-worn things today: particularly my crane cardigan and my snowflake skirt.

The cardigan was last seen in the October 2012 capsule (recap here), and was only worn once (here). It was on the fence then, and I am still waffling over it. I liked it enough today to keep it another round.
The skirt is a favourite, although I tend to wear it more on the weekends for some reason. I last wore it here (3rd outfit) in April with a blue sweater...on the weekend!
I have a little red sweater on under the cardi for extra warmth and for peeking out the bottom of my cardi. I like the black diamond shapes on the back of my shoes.

The stuff:
I last wore these shoes in August here as a swap-out for a pair that hurt my feet.

Yesterday afternoon, Elaine, Yvonne, Cat and Tracy and I dug into my wardrobe and my jewelry boxes to put together our outfits for the Ultimate Woman Awards on Wednesday night. We had a blast - everyone is put together, and I took photos for reference for getting dressed (sometimes it's all blur, especially when you've had a little champagne and some white wine spritzers as we did).

I was reminded of some of my fun vintage stuff:
Oh, yeah, Mom's bracelet, and oh yeah, Grandma J's earrings.

Cardigan (Lucky Brand, consignment), sweater (Reitman's, consignment), skirt (J.J.F., consignment), shoes (Presence Impulse, Fluevog), belt (Club Monaco), bracelet (vintage 60s, Mom's), earrings (vintage 60s, Grandma J's), ring (consignment).

I took pictures of everyone's outfits, as I noted, including mind. Here are a couple of teasers of what I'll be wearing.

We'll all be wearing hats or fascinators!

And bottom:
Duh, I have to wear a pair of Fluevogs!

I'll have another tease tomorrow, and I'll likely be blogging about it on Thursday or Friday (I have both days off this week).

  1. I think the cardi reminds me of your tattoos, which are, naturally, infinitely better. If it's not rocking your socks, just rock the skin!

  5. I am so excited for you and the awards gala. If the event was in Vancouver you'd bet I'd be there, cheering you on like like mad. Your teasers make me very curious. I can't wait to see the whole gang of you dressed for the evening. I love that sweater too but shoes make me hum - they are awesome and look comfy.

  8. Love the sneak peek--you will certainly look fabulous!!
    Love the outfit--you should keep the crane sweater--it fits well and is so unique-yet subtle enough it can mix with prints.
