More Experimentation - Cropped, Copper and a Pouf (and Cat Pictures)

The weekend went so fast! It was very relaxing and chill, but I seriously need more time off! Ah well.

So, I'm playing around with more shapes this week, and seeing if there's something usable or workable on my body. Today, fitted, cropped and poufy.

Just as an FYI, every main item I'm wearing is second-hand or locally-made. Only my cheapass ball earrings were purchased new/manufactured overseas, and those were bought a few years ago.

Following on my not-as-successful-as-I'd-hoped cropped over full look of last week (this outfit), I've tweaked it and am trying again.

Black cropped leather jacket (last seen here in late January with blurry florals), but a closer fit to the body instead of a boxy shape. Slim-fitting thin copper sweater (first seen here in January with a Dior-ish circle skirt).

Pouf-o-matic skirt! I liked the pouf versus the slim-fitting top and jacket. What do you think?

I bought the skirt on consignment a couple of weekends ago (here). It felt a wee bit short (but heck, I like my legs, so why not) but was mitigated by the pockets. I do have sheer micro-fishnets on, so not bare legs.

The stuff:

These shoes were quite stiff when I first bought them (thrifted new!) but they're loosening up well. I haven't worn them since October (here with a rampant lion), but they are keepers.

Big barnyard bling:

One elephant, horses, cows (being milked), goats, a snake, and tiger heads. This necklace makes no sense at all, but I like it.

Jacket (Danier Couture, consignment), sweater (Main Fung, thrifted), skirt (Quillaree, consignment), shoes (Ramon Tenza, thrifted), necklace (consignment), Death Star Ring (Stone Roses), spinner ring (Twang & Pearl), earrings (Aldo Accessories).

Last night, L, Elaine and I watched the Oscars. I want more gown action on the red carpet. Stop talking to Sidney Poitier and show me that crazy dress in the background. Um, I digress.

Elaine brought over this amazing vintage suede skirt for me:

It's a brick red, and the suede is about 1/4 inch thick - it weighs about 5 pounds on its own! She wore this in the 70s, but then got it cleaned and it shrunk a couple of sizes and doesn't fit her anymore.

I will give it a good home - I love it! Thanks, Elaine!

I managed to snag a picture of Vizzini on Saturday while I was writing my big wrap-up post:

"I love you, purr purr purr."

Sucky lovey cat. He crawls under the fleece blanket and will sleep there for a couple of hours, all snuggly warm. I got Lovey Eyes when I took this. He's not always psycho-eyed!

On Saturday night, L and I hung out and drank wine and played board games. Vizzini deigned to snooze near us.

"Let a cat nap in peace."

Sneetching like a little pasha.
