Another week of long days is in store for me. *sigh*
But if I'm going to be working long hours, at least I know I'm dressed well!
- Sweater - Club Monaco, thrifted; last seen here in October 2014 while making like a leaf
- Skirt - Melanie Lyne, consignment; purchased here for $28.98
- Boots - Gold Button; last seen here in November 2014 with navy and brown
I love this skirt on - it fits like a glove and I feel very sleek and chic in it. The slit is a little small for me (I like to take big strides!) but livable.
I had a lot of work to do today, so I needed an outfit I didn't have to think too hard about.
The stuff:
I like these boots, but don't love them. They tick all the boxes: colour, shape, detail, but I don't know, I just feel a little "meh" about them.
Shiny crow bling:
"Nevermore!"
- Cuff - Jezebel Charms, gift from L
- Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes
- Blue clip-on - vintage fair
- Stud - local
Although I haven't worn a hat in a while, I'm linking
this post (with my headscarf!) up to Judith's "
Hat Attack!" over at
Style Crone - go there!
I've been really trying to go to bed earlier and read more. I have a big backlog of books on my nightstand (at least 20), and I want to get through them.
I just finished this one late last night.
In the long career of Stephen King, I would put "Mr. Mercedes" in the bottom half. Not his greatest, for sure (I could recommend 20 others that are better), but not his worst. I was indifferent to the characters and annoyed that he killed off the only female character that I liked. As is typical for King, the ending is weak.
So, moving on! This is a Book Club selection - Elaine's choice.
I haven't read any of Haruki Murakami's books before (I've actually never heard of him!), but my friend Cat (and fellow Book Clubber) is a big fan, so I'm excited to dig into it!
What are you reading?
What a pretty skirt. I just realized that if my biggest dream comes true, I'm going to hire you to be my personal shopper. You find the most amazing clothes.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, this skirt fits so well.
ReplyDeleteOh, I have not read S. King in ages, but use to be true fan.
The skirt is cool, and I really like the boots too.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant, and enjoying it - I recommend her novels, especially Sacred Hearts, if you like intelligent historical fiction. xx
Only YOU could be bored by such fabulous footwear. I love this look: chic, serviceable, and warm.
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading "The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street for a third time, the sequel to "84, Charing Cross Road," written by New Yorker Helen Hanff who corresponded with a book shop dealer in London for decades. Charming. It makes me want to see London in the '70s.
I love your blog I read it daily. I find that when I have a bad day you always cheer me up!
ReplyDeleteYou may feel "Meh" about those boots, but they look fab with that outfit.
ReplyDeleteI read "The Wind Up Bird Chronicle" by Murakami, and I can't decide whether I enjoyed it or not. It was an interesting read, different from anything I'd read before, but I don't know if I want to try another one.
