A little late, but better than never...I'm just awakened from a nap, followed by some heated-up chili (thank you, L), following my tri-annual visit to the periodontist for deep cleaning. Being a wuss about the dentist (another story), I get a happy pill and my entire mouth frozen in order to do this as painlessly and stress-free as possible.
- Jacket - Adore, thrifted; purchased here for $24.95
- Pants - Ralph Lauren, consignment; last worn here in August 2016 with blue blah
- Shoes - Miista, thrifted; last seen here (2nd outfit, way down) for brunch and shopping with Elaine in late March
- Coat (below) - I.N. Studio, thrifted
A few people noticed my new glasses - all reactions positive! The observant among you will have noticed that I don't wear them every day - correct! I bought a different colour so that I could switch it up and match my glasses to my outfits. My prescription didn't change much over the last 5 years, so I can go back and forth with them, no problem.
Outerwear. No need for gloves!
The stuff:
I bused to work and to the periodontist. Mom picked me up (as I am woozy and loopy from being frozen and from the happy pill), so minimal walking.
- Necklace - Elleandem, thrifted
- Earrings - 5th anniversary gift from L
And now...a nap.
Although I don't always dress so colourfully (I'm trying to branch out though!) I do understand both fear of the dentist and trying to dress 'positively' for a not very nice event. Bad things are easier to take if you are wearing something to help you cope - something colourful or that you love, or both! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly! I'm brave on the outside!
DeleteOh WHOA ! indeed, I think the bright and happy colours probably help in feeling more courageous for that dreaded visit to the dentist.
ReplyDeleteThey definitely did! I'm sure I blinded the dental tech, ha ha!
DeleteNice colors. Pretty glasses. Don't mention the dentist. :-)
ReplyDeleteDentist? What dentist? :)
DeleteGorgeous! The shoes are fab and look as if you could walk miles in them.
ReplyDeleteI could! They are one of my most comfy pairs of shoes.
DeleteMan, I LOVE this today! And what, you're not sure about the jacket? Then please, please don't do anything rash until you've given it another go. This time, if you need to get rid of it, I'll pay the postage x

Yup, it's yours when I'm done with it, promise. It might be in the bundle with the orange dress, if I ever get around to mailing it.
Deleteyou've got a Big Whoa from me too!, I love this outfit, so comfy&cool and colorful and all the things fabulous! Hot pink and your beautiful jacket and those shoes, such an amazing combo!
ReplyDeleteClothing as armour! love this!

Thank you! It was supremely comfy for sitting in a dentist's chair.
DeleteThe pants are definitely "WHOA" worthy! Hope you don't mind, but I'm going to feature this outfit in my new blog post as an example of excellent thrifted style.
ReplyDeleteI'd be flattered, thank you so much!
