I'm a Delicate Flower

I usually amend that to "I'm a delicate f**king flower" but I don't want to offend anyone with a swear in the post title. Hee! I'm not really delicate. 

 But I did feel very floral and bright today!

• Blouse - Cabi, consignment; first worn here in March in a nearly identical outfit
• Goldenrod skirt - no label, thrifted; first worn here in April with the cranes top
• Boots - Miz Mooz; last worn here in March with a pleather dress
• Coat (below) - Thermal-Slicks, consignment; last spotted here in September

 I had been iffy on this blouse when I first wore it, but I loved it today and had good reactions from my coworkers.

One of the downsides to clothing with no labels is that it is tricky to find when I last wore them (I use the search field in the upper left corner of the screen and search a brand name or key word...and then I go scroll, scroll, scroll until I find it). I thought I'd named this label-less skirt the "Marigold skirt" but no, I actually named it the "Goldenrod skirt". Having typed both of these words in this post, I'll now be totally able to find it next time. Ha ha! I feel very clever.

 Loved this skirt, but I'm regretting all the chocolate I ate this past weekend. Ah well, screw it, it was my birthday!

It was spitting rain today, so I wore my lovely PINK raincoat.

 I felt very bright and visible - I'm a delicate spring flower, caught in the rain (guffaw).

• Fur scarf - thrifted
• Fingerless gloves - Parkhurst

The stuff:

 These boots are getting beat up. I'm going to start looking around for a replacement. I may need to make a trip to the Fluevog store...

Delicate bling:

I go through phases in jewelry; sometimes I like big bold stuff, and sometimes I like delicate. This necklace/earrings set were purchased on deep sale at Plum (aw, I miss Plum) about 10+ years ago. They are crystal (a smoky olive green colour) and gold, and very light and lovely to wear.

• Necklace/earrings - Plum
• Green crystal ring - consignment
• Amber ring - c. 1998
