I have a nutty week ahead of me: many social engagements, outfits to plan, shopping to do, closet to swap over for the season. This weekend was all about being chill.
Starting with brunch on Saturday morning.
- Top - Hommage, consignment; first seen here in August in a cat-bait outfit
- Skirt - Co & Eddy, thrifted; last worn here in April with more orange and cream
- Boots - Prepare Guide, Fluevog; last worn here earlier this month with sweatery things
- Flocked coat (below) - Vintage Expo; last seen here in December 2014 with this same skirt!
This top is so fun to wear.
It was a little gloomy and threatening of rain, so I wore my vintage flocked jacket. This is one of the haven't-worn-yet items from my spring/summer wardrobe. I'm glad I got a chance to wear it - it really is a sweet jacket.

The stuff:
Orange-y bling:
- Ring - Tammy's store
- Earrings - vintage market
After brunch, I worked on Karen's fan for a few hours - it still has some hours' work left in it before I start adding colour. By the time I stopped, I realized I only had half an hour before Mom arrived! Time to get dressed!
- Blouse - CABi, consignment; last seen here in July with pink and grey
- Dress - Esprit; last seen way back here in December 2014 with another blouse under it
- Shoes - Half Truth Veda, Fluevog; last worn here in August with Dries and black
This production was awesome (local paper's review here), and starred Brian Markinson (famous recently for being in "Mad Men")
The stuff:
Shiny bling:
- Ear cuff - Claire's
- Earrings - consignment
- Crystal ring - Uffizi Gallery gift shop
- Death Star ring - Soul Flower
- Pin - thrifted
I wore the pin right at my neck - that was a very 1985 look, I recall.
As we did the matinee performance, I still had the evening to hang with L and Vizzini and play Arkham Horror. We feel asleep in front of the TV and crawled to bed at 3am.
However, I was up bright and early to go get my grocery shopping done so that I could chill out today and watch football. You ready for this? This is 99% what I really wear around the house on a daily basis.

And now, back to football, drawing and reading, as well as outfit-planning for the week ahead!
Love that gimmee-coffee face. I have seen it in my mirror. Great outfits - esp the ivory textured sweater - I remember you barely squeezing into your backpack, Great find. xox
ReplyDeletehehe, your wear around the house wear is awfully similar to my wearing out and about clothes! I think you're permanently stylish :)
ReplyDeleteI like that sequin dress too - glad you were able to give it a wear before you packed away your spring/summer things.
White sport socks are my favourite! Cushiony softness. I pretend they are a style addition but secretly I just like them. That's mighty fine home wear there - and a great big coffee mug.
ReplyDeleteGoing to the theatre with your mum is a great thing to do together, plus you get to dress up - love the sequins.
And I love your flocked coat. I was at Timeline today and was thinking specifically of the top you're wearing. Cue space music...
Many oohs and aahs from this end, too, especially of that first top and that black squinned dress. Wowzers!
ReplyDeleteI love that vintage coat, what a great piece. And the sequinned dress over the flouncy blouse looks amazing! xxx
ReplyDeleteIts amazing what a great coat can do… you have this first great colour combo look in sherbet like tones and then you top it off with the coat, like the cherry on top. Its like another outfit !
ReplyDeleteOnce in NYC I went out for breakfast with a friend and remember that I was too lazy to get dressed, so I had pjs underneath and since I never took it off, I looked like I had bathed and DRESSED!
That flocked coat is an absolute gem - what a cute shape! Your sequinned dress and blouse is lovely on you too. My at home clothing is similar to yours but I have the added requirement that it must all be "Rat-Friendly" meaning it can be chewed or peed on ;)
ReplyDeleteLoving that downy-looking white sweater ... it cries out for hugs from other people! Beautiful pieces all. And an idea for a LBD layering for me this winter ... thank you for that, too.
