Tired Two-Fer: Peachy-Cream, and Oriental Stencil Pencil

I wonder what life would be like slowed down a little. I feel like I'm go, go, go constantly these days. Miss me? I had a late night on Wednesday, and another late night tonight. I need a weekend!

Last night was my company's big quarterly meeting, and of course, I work the sign-in desk, direct everyone to the coat check, give them drink tickets - and I know every single one of those 100+ people's names!

• Blazer - Le Chateau, consignment; last seen here (2nd outfit, after the murderous cat) earlier this month whilst being well-re(a)d
• Blouse - Marc Jacobs, consignment; last worn here in December 2014 with purple sequins
• Skirt - Eddy & Co., thrifted; last seen here in December 2014 with a Dramatic Jacket and the same necklace
• Shoes - Chie Mihara; purchased here on Monday

I had actually planned to wear the aforementioned Dramatic Jacket with this, but I thought it took away from the shoes too much, so I just went with this nice cream brocade one. 

I took the jacket off here and there throughout the day as my temperature fluctuated. I had 4 deliveries so I was running around like mad! I liked the two close-but-not-quite-matching oranges.

I also presented two topics (the only person who did) at the meeting - my first time using a wireless mic! People were really surprised at how well I "performed" but hey, I do that at my WW meetings twice a week - been doing it for 4 years.

There's no pro like an old one, ha!

The stuff:

Oh, shoes of polka-dotted happiness! They were wonderful to wear all day (I swapped back to my shiny pink runners to walk to the meeting venue), even walking 4-5 blocks to the bus stop last night. I'm excited to wear them again. I think they will look fab with pink...and yellow...and purple...

Ba-da-bling:

I wore an eye-catching necklace since I was presenting - old Toastmaster trick to make your audience watch your face when you're talking.

• Necklace - Aldo Accessories
• Bracelet - Club Monaco
• Big crystal ring - some junky store in the late 90s
• Flower ring - Sarah Coventry, vintage 70s
• Pearl earring - Aldo Accessories
• Crystal earring - local

I loved this outfit - so did my WW group and my coworkers.

Nothing like a fitted top and a funky pencil skirt. I love this silhouette on me.

• Top - Le Chateau, consignment; last seen here in May 2014 with navy and green
• Skirt - Lord & Taylor, gift my my mother-in-law; last worn here in September 2014 in *gasp* white after Labour Day!
• Shoes - Miz Mooz, consignment; last worn here at the same time!

I should wear this top more than once a year, but as long as it looks this good on me, I'm keeping it! 

Goal: wear this top again before September.

Every time I wear this skirt, I moan about how fragile it is. It's PVC, and the stencil-type design rips more here and there every time I wear it.

I actually found a white leather skirt, with these same type of cutouts, by Danier Leather, in a thrift store in Vancouver in March. Totally not my size (would maybe have fit one of my thighs), but at least I know it's out there somewhere. I can dream! For now, I wear this delicate lovely skirt and keep on thriftin'.

The stuff:

When I pulled these out of my spring/summer stuff at the end of March, L was less than enthused. I'm hoping to do another series of "Shoes My Husband Hates" this summer. I wonder if I have 5 other pairs of shoes L loathes?

Blurry brass bling:

Sorry, tired. It's past 8pm and I still need dinner.

• Bracelet - About Tine
• Earrings - Plum

Vizzini was going on about the door again this morning as I was getting ready to leave for work.

"Over here, woman, this way. Oh, you are so stupid."

He meows constantly, always talking to us. I can hear him meowing at L right now!

"Yes, yes, now open the door!"

So I did, and he just sat there. Chicken cat!
