Back in Flats, and a Sad Cat

Back to work today, and I was just slammed with so many things to do. I worked late, which I'll unfortunately have to do for a month or so, as my office prepares to move. I am tired. 

 My twisted ankle (stupid snow and ice!) was giving me grief, so I had to plan my outfit around flat shoes. I threw in a few old favourites too.

• Blazer - Le Chateau, consignment; last seen here in October 2017 layered over flounces
• Sleeveless blouse - Michael Kors, consignment; last worn here in October 2016 for the Vintage Expo
• Skirt - Ricki's, consignment; first seen here (3rd outfit) for the late September 2016 Vintage Expo
• Shoes - Down to Earth Hadfield, Fluevog; last worn here with red velvet and jeans in December 2017
• Leather trench coat - no label, vintage 70s, thrifted; last seen here in December 2017

Since I started with the shoes, I pulled in this green skirt and cream blazer first. The orange cowl-necked blouse doesn't get worn as much as it used to, since I've moved away from autumn colours more, but it's a useful piece when you need an orange top!

 I don't like the cream tights - they remind me too much of little girls, nurses and support hose. Ugh.

But I do love the blazer and the skirt - swooshy!

 The skirt is a little thin for winter wear, but I still like it.

Outerwear - we did NOT have a tsunami today, despite the warnings (link). Some of my coworkers who live near the water were forced to evacuate their homes! However, it did rain a lot today.

 A lot. My coat and hat are soaked.

• Fur scarf - Danier, thrifted
• Long leather gloves - Club Monaco, consignment
• Hat - vintage, thrifted, Vancouver

The stuff:

 My belt is also a blast from the past - I used to own quite a lot from Shi Studio, but I've pared it down to two leather belts, and two interchangeable belt buckles.

Green bling:

 The earrings and necklace set are about 8 years old, and my mom's jade ring is from the 70s, I think.

• Belt - Shi Studio
• Buckle - Shi Studio, thrifted
• Necklace/earrings - Plum
• Crystal ring - consignment
• Jade ring - Mom's, vintage 70s

As I was leaving this morning, I spotted Vizzini, moping on the benches.

"Who's moping? I'm not moping!"

 I took that blanket up-island with me - he's had a whole weekend of not being able to snooze on it.

"I didn't miss you - I missed this blanket."

Hmmm...that's a mope-face if I ever saw one.
