Autumn in Summer, and Black and White and Green All Over

Phew! One more day till the weekend, and it is feeling like a very long week, my friends.

I've been training my other-city counterpart for the last two days - hi, Wendy! - and it's a LOT, both for me to export and for her to import. She's a lovely person and I'm happy to working with her, even though we won't see each other too much. Not much in the world of travel for Admins.

Anyway, I didn't want to scare the heck out of her with my usual crazyass ensembles, so I went more sedate. Is this sedate? I don't even know anymore!

I love this orange top - it's been a long-time favourite. I last wore it on another Thursday, here in April (with sequins!).

The cream satin pencil skirt is another wardrobe staple for me - how is it that I haven't worn these together before? I last wore it here, also in April, with my beautiful kimono blouse that ripped on the next wearing. Sad face.

Just a hint of ink, because I'm badass that way, hee hee.

The stuff:

First wearing of these funky sandals, purchased here for $25.00. They were really comfy for walking around.

Brass bling:

Some of my favourite things, including my spiky Midzo designer cuff.

Blouse (Michael Kors, consignment), skirt (Bedo, thrifted), shoes (Anne Ross, consignment), belt (Club Monaco), earrings (Plum), spinner ring (Twang & Pearl), wood ring (Dots), stone ring (90s).

After work, I went to the baby shower, which consisted of some balloons and a bunch of women drinking wine. That's my kind of baby shower! I went out after for another drink and tottered home to hang out with L.

Today, I went black and white.

This was a really comfy outfit, even though my day was stressful.

This is the first wearing this year of this black pinstriped top. It does up the front with hooks-and-eyes, is nicely fitted through the middle, and has a wonderful portrait collar. I always wear a cami under it, as it's cleavage-o-rama withouth one.

I last wore it here in August in a whackadoo outfit!

The skirt is so swirly - I just love going stairs in it for the way it billows. I last wore it here with pink in May.

The stuff:

All green, all the time! I adore these shoes. They're going to be residents in my closet for a long time. I last wore them here in May with my grandmother's necklace.

Green bling:

These are much more matchy in person, but I always wear them together. The glass necklace is from my mom's childhood (1950s) and the earrings are modern, made from reclaimed plastic). I love how fashion spans the decades!

Top (Heart Moon Star, consignment), skirt (Smoking Lily, thrifted), shoes (Half-Truth Tanya, Fluevog), necklace (vintage 50s), earrings (Dconstruct).

My day was topped off by a trip to the dentist, so oh, the joy. However, my new dentist is awesome and I was in and out of there in 30 minutes. Woo! The week is looking up!
