Shades of Blue, and a Fab Coat

I'm in one of my low moods, gritting my teeth and getting through the day. I have so much on the go, but I just don't want to do anything at all. What to do?

 Wear a dress, dammit! And since it's cold out, put a blouse under it. There, I feel better already.

• Dress - Comrags, thrifted; last seen here in March with a ruffled blouse (my hair's so short!)
• Blouse - St. Michael, vintage 80s, thrifted; first worn here in June with mint green and a brooch
• Shoes - Esoteric Temptations Odette, Fluevog; last seen here in March with white pleather and a beetle
• Coat (below) - Stop Staring!, thrifted; purchased here for $16.95

I didn't really feel much like "me" until I put the coat on, but still, it's a good dress.



I think the blouse might have a little too much sleeve for my taste. My arms look incredibly short.

 Such a great colour, though! Bits of blue all over, with my blouse, the obi and the shoes and rings. Oh, and my glasses!

I love this dress - just wish it had pockets (I wish all my clothes had pockets!).

 It's very swooshy. Swooshing can make you feel better - it's a fact.

Outerwear: I felt like a Russian princess in my outerwear. Now that's how I like to feel!

 Isn't it a magnificent coat? Pockets, a thick satin lining, that collar, much swoosh (double Swoosh Factor!), that perfect waist. Love this coat.

• Headwrap - thrifted for $2.95, first wear
• Fur boa - thrifted
• Gloves - Parkhurst

The stuff:

 I'm fond of these shoes, but they are a little tricky to wear. They're a bit of a statement (and that's an understatement).

Blue bling:

The earrings look away wistfully...

• Obi - Benetton, thrifted
• Earrings - thrifted
• Lapis lazuli ring/Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes

I have many things on the go, starting tomorrow night, and this is a long weekend coming up for us (Remembrance Day) in Canada. I'll be back on Monday with tales of adventure!
