Weekend Catch-Up and Classic Blue

Gah, I am severely cranky and tired. I worked an 11-hour day today, my head is pounding and the computer is acting up. So forgive me for my terseness (should it apply), and also for cramming my weekend outfits into my Monday post. 

Saturday, pre-Ulty outfit.

We woke up to rain on Saturday, and after a late night discussing the movie the night prior (there may have been some Strongbow Cider involved), I was in no mood for a fancy outfit. Dress. Boots. Earrings.

The dress is a favourite from a couple of years ago, last seen here with a black leather obi in April.

I like that I can wear it backwards and forwards. Who's to say which is best? Not me.

My little red cowboy boots are much-loved already. Last wore 'em here to the vintage fair the weekend before last.

Dress (Smoking Lily), boots (1883 Lucchesse, consignment).

On Sunday, this is what I wore to get groceries. It was overcast but warm. Time for...

...clam diggers! I'm pretty sure that's what we called these back in the early 80s.

I like this loose blouse-y top. I last wore it here in May with long black leather.

It's been longer than that for the pants. We're going all the way back here to September 2013 for Monochromania Week for the last time they were worn.

I still like them, but I forget I have them, as they don't live in my closet. They live in my dresser in the bedroom, which is where I keep my camis and 'soft tops', as well as casual and workout clothes.

The stuff:

The first wear of my new-to-me Born flats, purchased here for $38.98. No rubbing and quite comfortable for the walk to town and back.

Please note that my bigass gold hoops (that's real gold, thankyouverymuch) are again in style - Wendy Brandes says so, so it must be true! These were a 5th anniversary gift from L in 2002.

Blouse (Hale Bob, thrifted), pants (Contrast, thrifted), shoes (Born, consignment), hoop earrings (gift from L).

Vizzini is disgusted by the weather. He keeps flopping about and looking at us piteously, like we somehow caused the heat (as it's gotten hotter).

"Was that the cupboard door? Am I going to get kitty treats?"

He lays around a lot.

"Insert cute pose here."

 Sometimes I poke him until he gets up. It's only fair - he does that to me at 4am.

"You dare disturb my slumber!"

He looks rather peeved, doesn't he?

Today was a crazy day. I worked late on the newsletter.

Also, this wool/cashmere skirt may have been ill-advised. Thank goodness I work in an air-conditioned building, but the walk home was hot.

I love this blouse. It's got it all: paisley, bigass cuffs and ruffles, it's sheer. I last wore it here in April with aqua (and I ended up getting rid of that suit, due to moth damage. Sad).

Although the skirt was warm when I was outside, nothing beats it for quality. Seriously, it's so thick - I make people feel it when they admire it (and many do). It's my treasured Andre Courreges vintage skirt, thrifted for $5.00, and I last wore it here...wow, in February. That's been way too long.

Everything about this skirt is perfection. I love it.

The stuff:

Not loved: these shoes. For the life of me, I don't know why I bought them. I don't like the toe shape, and they aren't even that nice quality. Into the donation bin they go.

Blue bling:

Classic blue accessories.
