Weekend Wrap-Up: Chillin' and Shoppin' and Nappin'

Ah, what a lovely and relaxing weekend it's been! L and I went to the pub for dinner on Friday night, then played board games. On Saturday, we went for brunch.

Punky-soft-goth plus spring! Pouffing my hair is always fun on a weekend.

My studded sweatshirt gets another airing. I last wore it here (way down) at the end of December 2013.

This is another yellow skirt I own (in addition to this one), which I've had for a few years. The texture is a knit, almost a boucle. I love the deep yellow colour. I last wore it here in September 2013 in an all-yellow ensemble for Monochromania! week.

My grey wooly boots are the only pair of bots that I didn't pack away for the warm season. I last wore them here with leopard and aqua in March.

The stuff:

Badass bling!

Sweatshirt (Silence + Noise, consignment), skirt (BB Dakota, consignment), boots (Prepare Guides, Fluevogs), metal cuff (thrifted), stud cuff (homegrown vintage), snake ring (homegrown vintage), spinner ring (consignment). 

I napped for a while on Saturday while L practiced guitar, then we strolled to town to go see "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" which was quite good. We came home and had pizza for dinner (homemade), then hung out and drank wine and played more boardgames. Couldn't ask for a better time.

Today, I slept in then got groceries and then meandered down to The Patch for a browse. I don't go there too often, as it's more like consignment prices for crappy thrifted mall stores, but there are some good items here and there to be found.

One of my classic shopping outfits! I didn't even have to wear a coat, it's so nice and warm and sunny out. What a treat!

My indigo sweater is layered over a cami, and was last worn here in January for Winesday. I like it as a casual piece.

The skirt is another favourite, and was last seen here (way down at the bottom) last weekend for a quick jaunt out to buy our couch.

Vizzini's loved having us home all weekend.

 I haven't worn these shoes for a long while, since a weekend back in September 2013, here.

"I pose too!"

I added my Beecher's Brook scarf and voila! A very easy outfit, perfect for shopping. I also loved how my skirt swooshed in the light breeze.

I did find a couple of things at The Patch, including this cool architectural blouse:

It's very sheer and has a kimono-type of shape. the sleeves are split along the underside for extra movement.

It's beautifully-made, but someone removed the tag. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a high-end brand, though.

See the stripe in the fabric? So cool. This was only $14.95, not bad.

This skirt is one of the best scores I've found in a long time.

It's long thin sequins, all sewn onto mesh, front and back. The skirt has quite a bit of weight to it.

$16.95 isn't too bad for a black sequinned skirt.

You can see the sequins there.

But this is what makes it a score.

Tags still on, never been worn; original price: $275.00. Yowch! I've never been in a J. Crew store, but that seems really expensive. Score for me! The skirt is a size 12 so big on me, but I don't want something this delicate to be too tight. Can't wait to wear it!

Lastly, I fell in love with this amazing piece.

What is it? It's a hat!

It's a rigid turban-style, with gold V-trim, done in cream satin, with a decorative fan on the front. And an attached scarf for added Drama. Of course.

No label inside, but I can see that there's a bunch of hand-sewn details and edges.

It's a little pricey at $24.95, but I think it's worth it.

 After all, how often does one get to wear something this crazy?

I need a party to go to, stat!

Okay, that's it for shopping, back to napping. Vizzini has decided that the new couch is his Favourite Thing Ever.

"My spot. You can sit at the other end."

Doesn't he look lovely against the blue?

"Begone, woman, I'm trying to nap!"

Such a cutie.

I read on the couch yesterday while L played guitar. I took this picture because I like that Vizzini is in the background, napping in the sun.

I hope your weekend was full of sunshine, naps and fun times!
