Daffodil and Lace

Ugh, 7:30pm and I'm just home from work. Self-inflicted for the last hour, although I did put in over an hour of actual work due to having a day off this week. I'm in my office's Social Committee (of course I am), and I got the short straw to hide chocolate eggs in the office for Easter. 150+ desks, and 5 eggs per desk, plus bowls of chocolate eggs in the lunchrooms, meeting rooms and my desk (reception). That's a lot of eggs.

We're experiencing what we call on the west coast "liquid sunshine" (rain). There are loads of flowers out - the tulips will be out any day, and daffodils are blooming madly. My outfit today is daffodil inspired.

I adore this jacket, which I consider one of my best thrift finds ever. It's by Holt Renfrew, a big swanky department store (the closest one is in Vancouver), and I found it last year in August (here) for $24.95. It's gorgeous quality, and don't you love that neckline?

I last wore it here in September 2013 to the Vintage Expo (I can't wait to wear that Spanish ladies dress again!). I have a yellow camisole in the same shade of yellow on underneath it.

This skirt is another favourite; it was last worn here in March 2013 (over a year ago - shocking!) for St. Patrick's Day.

I bought it on consignment way back in 2009 (first worn here) for $40.00. It's real lace, with a deliberately ragged hem, no slit, and a taupe lining.

The stuff:

And thrifted shoes! I last wore these here in March with the fabulous suede skirt Elaine gave me (now in storage).

Big old bling:

Well, the ring's not old. The rest is - it belonged to my Grandma J.
