I'll Wear White If I Want, Thank You - Zebra and Coffee

I'll be wearing white (with other colours) all week, in protest of the ages-old stupid rule that says, "No white after Labour Day." Yes, I will wear white if I want, thank you.

*cough*bull*cough*

Today was rather hazardous. I got hit by a torrential downpour when I briefly stepped outside (we even had thunder briefly). I also dumped a full, wet, hot filter of coffee grounds all down the front of myself. No burns, but this skirt is toast and not in a delicious let's-put-butter-on-it kind of way. Folex got the worst out, but it's dingy. I'll throw it in the wash and see if it looks any better.

This jacket held up remarkably against the coffee. Well, that's what you get for pure wool. Good quality! I last wore this lovely jacket here in May with leopard.

Shockingly, my 100% silk blouse also survived, although with a little big of brown on the cotton threads at the seams. I'll toss it in the wash as well. The Folex did a great job on most of it, but I'd like it to be nice again. I last wore this blouse here in July with pants (pants!).

I like but don't love the skirt. I have affection for it that is see-saw. I love that it has pockets. It's a great zebra print. It's not lined. It's really short. It makes my hips look wide. I last wore it here in May with more white and brown.

The stuff:

My shoes got soaked in the rain, then got a load of hot coffee grounds dumped on them. The peeling of the inside is getting worse. I'm starting to leave little "gifts" around behind me. These are definitely not staying in my closet...but I might try to squeeze one more wear out of them before I pack everything away - they have gotten a lot of wear this year. I last wore them here just a week ago.

Copper bling:

Of everything I wore today, only the blouse (ruffles!) and the jewelry really made my heart sing. That should tell me something. All of the jewelry is from the 60s.

Levine, thrifted), blouse (Tangerine Jill, thrifted), skirt (Plum), shoes (Aerosoles, thrifted), copper earrings (Renoir Matisse, Grandma J's, vintage 60s), chain cuff (Renoir, vintage 60s), small cuff (no marked, vintage 60s), big cuff (Renoir, Grandma J's, vintage 60s), enameled cuff (Matisse, vintage 60s).
