Funky Friday: Perforated Pleather and Shopping Date

Today flew by! Work was bustling and people were chatty. Overall good, I'd say. And now...ah...Friday.

 Time for a "not yet worn" item - this jacket!

• Jacket - Allison Wonderland, consignment; last seen here in September 2016 for my company's red walk
• Tank - Gap, thrifted, not tracked
• Skirt - Astr, thrifted; last seen here in July for Canada Day 150
• Shoes - Joe Fresh, thrifted; last worn here in May with orange cashmere and pastel jeans

 I basically wear this jacket once a season - I did the same thing last year. But you know, seeing it on, wearing it all day...I still adore this jacket. I'm okay with it not getting worn a ton.

I love this perforated pleather skirt - people always want to touch it.

 If it had pockets, it would be perfectly perforated pleather. Say that three times fast!

The stuff:

 Easy shoes on my feet all day, although I probably shouldn't have walked home in them.

Minimal bling:

 I had planned a necklace but didn't like how it looked.

• Earrings - thrifted
• Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes

My ex-coworker Rekha and I went shopping at the WIN Warehouse store (recently renamed WIN Resale, I notice) after work today, then out for Thai food for dinner. What a lovely shopping date! We chatted about clothes, joked about silly dated pieces, gossiped a bit and both dashed to the fitting rooms when they did "last call." She found a lovely black and white polka-dotted dress for $9.95, and I might have found a couple of things...

Shoes!

 I always have to check out the shoes. I fell hard for these Marc Jacobs tri-colour leather Mary Jane beauties. Love that strap at the ankle.

They are black suede, cobalt blue corduroy-ridged suede, and silver matte leather.

 So. PRETTY. And that is a good heel height.

They've had a bit of wear, but are in generally good shape. The size is marked as a 41 (US approx. 10.5 or 11), but they fit more like a 9.5 or 10. They're made in Italy, and they were $29.95.

 A little interwebz digging and I found a green pair in the same style, noting that they sold for $375.00 originally at Saks. That's a score!

I spotted this rich bright orange when we were browsing through the skirts.

 It's a gorgeous thick fabric - I could tell the quality right away. A weird shape for a skirt, though, but okay, I'll give a go.

Not bad, $29.95 for Diane von Furstenberg.

 I dig that trim - it's a different fabric than the rest of the garment and is woven instead of knit.

Yup, good label. I could probably wash this, even though it says "dry clean only". It's not lined.

 Size 8, this could work...and it did, but it fit really weirdly in the waist, very baggy.

Of course, I checked the construction. Look at those nice seams!

And it has pockets! But they were way down on the thighs, so bizarre. And then I realized: THIS IS A DRESS. It's called the Kacia dress, and was originally about $200. It's a sweet empire cut and looks fantastic over a shirt, so expect a fun outfit next week. I'm so excited to layer it up!

I have a very quiet weekend planned, but will be back on Sunday. Stay awesome, my friends!
