Weekend Wrap-Up: Mom Stuff - Brunch, Theatre and Movie

Not much left in this weekend, but here's a quick post before I run off and enjoy the rest of it. And has it been fun so far? You bet it has! 

Let's kick it off with Friday's brunch outfit, featuring my DIY harem pants.

• Jacket - Helmut Lang, thrifted; last worn here in March for Women's Day with leather pants
• Sweater - Ralph Lauren, thrifted; last seen here in December 2016 with glitter and shine
• Pants - Design Lab by Lord & Taylor, thrifted; last worn and DIY'ed here (2nd outfit) in August 2016
• Shoes - Modern Vintage, thrifted; last seen here (2nd outfit) in September 2016 with Spanish ladies 

A bit of cover, a bit of bare ankles. These pants are gloriously billowy when I walk.

L and I strolled to town and met Nick for lunch, grabbed a few things on the way home, and then had a nice long nap.

Outerwear - surprise! I just did my jacket up!

However, it did rain, especially on the way home. I was dripping purple from my hair.

The stuff:

I noted last time I wore these those that it was time to get them re-heeled, and lo and behold! I actually did it!

Boho bling:

This triple chain necklace tangles a lot.

• Necklace/earrings - Mango's
• Ring - local
• Cuff - vintage 60s, Mom's

Mom found this in her jewelry box and thought I would like it - I do! It's a bronze cuff lined with leather that she bought when she and Dad (possibly me, but she can't remember) went to a craft/artisan fair at the Bay Street Armoury in the late 60s. She said she paid about $10 for it then.

I think it's a look out a window at the sun, moon and stars, mountains in the background, and waves on the ocean in the middle, with stairs leading down. No idea what it's actually supposed to be, though - any other guesses?

It's signed.

That's the alchemical symbol for Jupiter, bit in the late 60s, that could have meant anything! Anyway, a very cool piece. Thanks, Mom!

After our nap, L went to the memorial for our neighbour Murray, and I got dressed to go to the final play of the Belfry Theatre season, "Alice Munro Stories " (about it here).

Theatre always means dress-up for me.

This is my entry for Patti's "Visible Monday" over at Not Dead Yet Style. Go, go, go!

• Blouse - no label, vintage, thrifted; last seen here (3rd outfit) in March for a weekend with the inlaws
• Dress - Tangerine Jill, consignment; last worn here in December 2016 with this same blouse
• Shoes - Effortless Vivian, Fluevog; last seen here in April with rainy pleats
• Coat (below) - Club Monaco, thrifted; last worn here in February with plaid pants and leopard

"My paw is so much more interesting than you."

We both enjoyed the play (actually, two short stories performed, so more like two plays), and then went for dinner at the local pub afterwards.

"I express my disdain for this by standing on three legs."

I have "nap hair" - that's what you get for sleeping on wet hair.

I love how the ruffled cuffs of the baby blue blouse poke out of the big bell sleeves of this thin coat.

Obligatory Wonder Woman pose!

Take that!

The stuff:

A comfy low shoe for walking to and from the theatre.

Silver bling:

I wore the pin at the throat of the blouse.

• Pin - thrifted
• Earrings - Brighton, furniture store
• Lapis lazuli ring/Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes

L and I stayed up late playing boardgames and drinking wine! After a nice long sleep-in, I headed off to town to get groceries.

Hard to tell what the weather's going to do, so my clothes are all over the place with warmth.

• Sweater - Gap, thrifted; last seen here (2nd outfit) in March with my tulle ballet skirt
• Skirt - Mario Serrani, thrifted; last worn here in September 2016 with green sleeves
• Shoes - Miista; last seen here (2nd outfit) in February with that rainy floral pleated skirt again
• Coat (below) - Danier Leather, consignment 

I met up with Mom again in the afternoon and we went to see "Beauty and the Beast" - it was such a treat to have fancy reclining seats in the theatre!

We both enjoyed the movie (seriously, what is all the fuss about Lefou? it's NOTHING), especially the spectacular visuals (the costumes were amazing).

Outerwear was called for.

It was rainy, cloudy and sunny. Make up your mind, weather!

The stuff:

Simple earrings, easy shoes.

• Earrings - Stella and Dot, consignment

 I had an hour to kill between getting the groceries and meeting Mom, so I popped into the WIN Warehouse store.

Success! Check it out, Wolford!

I don't wear knee-highs that often, but I still do sometimes.

My cheapie drug store ones will be replaced with these uber-high-quality ones.

Regular price $34.00 at Holt Renfrew, but for me, only $1.95. Seriously, that's less than 6% of the original price.

I also found this wonderful silk and viscose dark grey velvet blazer in the thrift section.

It is so soft!

I can only conclude that they've never heard of Boden...

Or this would have been more than $8.95! A little Interwebz digging reveals this is from 2011-2012, and probably would have been around $250.00 new. Score!

I was drawn to the pattern on this dress.

"I am drawn to this loose thread."

This is a dress, by H&M, and it's a dark green with pale pink and chartreuse yellow flowers on it. The side are slit about 12" and it has a deep slit in the back of the neck (you can see a bit of this below).

It was only $9.95. It's also labeled a size 12, but fit me perfectly in the shoulders, so I just ignored that. Should be fun to wear! 

...And how was your weekend? Up to any shenanigans?
