Weekend Wrap-Up: Pleather Wander, Black/White, and Cat Pictures

It's been a lovely quiet weekend, full of hanging out with my two guys, L and Vizzini. On Saturday, L and I had to run an errand in Oak Bay (the rich-people municipality that we do not live in), so we went for brunch early, then bussed there. 

In my defense, it was cloudy earlier and very windy out. Yes, I wore a pleather dress!

• Dress - no label, thrifted; last seen here in May with florals and purple boots
• Shoes - Michael Kors, thrifted; last worn here (4th outfit) in June for a walk to town

 After our errand, we wandered back up Oak Bay Ave - it's very pretty and full of interesting shops, including House of Savoy, a great consignment shop that's very dangerous to go into. I only pop in about once a year, or I'd spend way too much money!

 Although I'm wearing pleather, this dress is fully lined in black and white gingham, so it didn't stick to me. I was actually "just right" temperature-wise due to the wind.

 Added my shades, and of course, I am fully sunblocked, head to toe!

The stuff:

 Comfy shoes - I even wore them barefoot!

Nerdy bling:

 A few people spotted my Star Trek communicator badge.

• Dragon bangle - Lazy Susan's
• Silver bangle - Glee
• Earrings - gift from Megan Mae
• Star Trek magnetic pin - MoPop gift shop

I tried on lots of stuff at House of Savoy, but only bought two things. I love this crazy thin sweater.

 Skeletons, a spider and ladies' heads. Yes, sure, why not?

I've definitely heard to Jean Paul Gaultier! I couldn't find anything similar to this online, but I think this is a vintage piece, guessing the mid- to late 90s based on the design, which is very typical of that era!

Made in Italy, this is 100% merino wool. It feels lovely on, and is a really nice fit. I want to wear it with my leather pants! Maybe my grey tulle skirt just for a fun contrast.

I liked the label explaining the care.

 I will probably just wash it by hand, but notice the wear on the label. This piece is old and has been worn a lot - however, it feels like new! Very nice quality. This was $38.00.

Also for $38.00, I found these fabulous booties.

 Dark burgundy velvet booties! I used to have nearly identical (cheap) black booties like these in the early 00s.

 All the way around, these are right in style again. They look brand new!

They were marked size 8.5, but they fit like a 9.5.

 Not a mark of wear on the bottom - I don't think they've ever been worn. They are called the Ellena by Mia, and the original retail was around $65 for these. A good deal for me!

Both of these items have been put into the "not till Fall" pile in the closet - I'm excited to wear them in cooler weather!

Last night, L and I chilled out playing boardgames.

"I'm just watching for dropped food."

 Vizzini chills near us, occasionally stopping by for a visit, but mostly doing his own thing.

"Kitty treats or Mousie gets it."

 He's ever-hopeful that we will give him more kitty treats.

Today I slept in, had my coffee and strolled to town for groceries.

 Really didn't put in much effort. No make-up, nothing done to my hair. The bare minimum to be in public!

• Shirt - Banana Republic, consignment; first worn here in May with grids
• Capris - Contrast, thrifted; last seen here for our trip to PR last August 2016
• Runners - Dunlop, thrifted; not tracked - I wear them every day to walk to and from work

 I am tossing the shirt in the giveaway pile, as well as these capris. Eh, I don't wear 'em enough to keep them.

With my hat.

 Mission: groceries!

Vizzini has been flopping in the sun.

"Curses, you found me, Woman!"

 His moustachios look very impressive, don't they?

"My best side for my fans."

Such a little cutie!
