As soon as I realized I was about to wear the same dress to my WW staff dinner two years in a row, I changed, but I promised to wear it again soon! Here it is!
- Dress - Adrian, vintage 60s, last seen here (2nd outfit) last week, but really last worn here with these same shoes a year ago to go to the dentist! Ha! (you will see why that's so funny in a second).
- Shoes - Miista; last worn here (5th outfit, all the way down) with a whale and a puffy skirt in September
- Coat - Apparence, vintage 80s, thrifted; last worn here last week
It really is a lovely dress, though and fits me so well, without a single alteration. The pattern is bumpy green satin chevrons outlined in aqua lame (lah-MAY) - here's a close-up of the fabric.
Outerwear! The Unsafe Polar Bear was the best blanket over me while I tried not to fall asleep having my mouth invaded with sharp poky things by my hygienist. I get my happy pill 30 minutes before I go in, then we freeze up my whole face so that I can't feel a thing.
- Cotton scarf - Smoking Lily
- Wool gloves - Parkhurst
Mom picks me up, we have a cup of tea at home, and then I start to get loopy. A quick blog and then I'm off to snooze for a while.
The stuff:
Meaningful bling:
- Earrings - Stella & Dot, consignment, Vancouver
- Crystal ring - Uffizi Gallery gift shop, Florence
- Amethyst ring - Frances Jewellers, c. 1964, Dad's
It's sure to be the most stylish outfit the dentist sees! :) I never look that good at the dentist.
ReplyDeleteHope your procedure went well! :)
I did stick out in the waiting area, ha ha! All good, my usual scaling. It's a rigmarole.
DeleteMy dentist assistants love my outfits so much that they've all started following my blog. It's good to be the dressed up one amongst the sea of fleeces and jeans, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteFab frock, I love a bit of lah-may and an unsafe polar bear! xxx
Aw, that's so cool! I love being the dressy one! Thanks, Vix!
Deletenothing better than happy pills when visiting the dentist!, and it's lovely to see you looking that fabulous!, lots of lah-May (oh yes, I love that Word!) and an unsafe polar bear, grrrr. I do love your shoes, they look so comfy&cool!

Oh, they've made all the difference - I have so much PTSD from dental issues in my life! This is the only way I can handle them. Thank you, my dear!
DeleteThe lah-may frock is absolutely fabulous! It wouldn't be out of place in my wardrobe. Why not dress fabulously for a dentist appointment? It certainly makes me feel better if I'm wearing something I feel great in, happy pills or not! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's a fantastic dress - I really should wear it a bit more. I agree, I always feel better when I dress up.
DeleteA very cosy outfit! I love lah may and need more of it in my wardrobe. The trout shoes are fabulous. The unsafe Polar bear coat is what we need here...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Veronica! Lah-MAY is a requirement in any fashionable woman's wardrobe!
DeleteBeautifullll and i loved the bundle up layering with the green scarf.
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks, Lorena!
DeleteThe shoes! The shoes!
ReplyDeleteHand off, you! ;-P
