Grey Faux Lace and Yellow

I own several black and white and grey dresses - I've accumulated many neutrals to set off this purple hair thing I have going. 

 I'm wearing all of them this week, to see if I really need and love them all. This one is on the chopping block.

• Dress - Banana Republic, thrifted; last seen here (twice) in June 2016, once with yellow and once with orange
• Shoes - Big Presence Desmond, Fluevog via the Fluemarket; last worn here in September 2016 with pink and birds
• Coat (below) - Danier Leather

 Reasons why I like this dress:

• Great cut
• Nice pattern (it's not real lace, just woven to look like it)

Reasons why I don't like this dress:

• It doesn't fit right in the neckline (see my gaping expanse of bra hanging out in the stair pic)
• It has no pockets
• It has no stretch

 In addition to today, I wore it:

• Twice on the same day (once with yellow accessories, once with orange stuff) in June 2016, here, as noted above.
• In May 2015, for my purple hair launch here, with yellow and black accents.
• In March 2015, here (2nd outfit), with burgundy stuff and red cowboy boots.
• In November 2014, here, with green and gold accessories.
• In July 2014, here, with pink and purple accents.
• In June 2014, here, with yellow and black stuff.
• In February 2014, here, with a favourite pair of shoes, for Dress Week.
• Briefly in January 2014, here, with plain ol' black (I was sick).

It was purchased here in January at The Patch for $38.98 (discounted further with a buy-one/get-one deal). I've worn it 10 times in over 3 years, so that's under $4.00/wear, which I am good with. Off you go, into the wash, then to the giveaway pile!

Outerwear. It was freezing this morning, so out comes the leather. I regretted not wearing gloves and a scarf, but didn't need them by the time I walked home.

"Hmm, what is this interesting yellow thing on your foot? Oh, are you taking a picture?"

 Vizzini is so helpful in the mornings.

The stuff:

All these things are yellow! This pleases me greatly. I miss these wonderful shoes when they are packed away over the winter.

Yellow bling:

 I am fond of "sets" of jewelry, especially when I have matching shoes and belt. Matchy!

This week's nail polish is one of the older ones in the collection. This is a Jet-Set quick dry polish by L'Oreal, called Dive Bomb. It's a grey with a greeny/yellow iridescent.

A quick dig around the interwebz reveals that this line and colour came out in September 1998! Yup, it's an oldie! I did two coats, and while it's quite thin, it went on beautifully without a smudge, wrinkle or line (no imprinted hair from me sleeping either). No wearing off on the tips, and my nails look great today. It's a keeper!
