A Whole Lotta PANK

I hope you have your sunglasses on! This is a bright, BRIGHT dress. 

It's so bright, it's not pink. It's PANK. 

• Dress - Essential Antwerp, consignment; first worn here in November 2017 with tall boots
• Boots - London; last seen here in December 2017 with acid yellow and badass black
• Coat (below) - Apparence, vintage 80s; last seen here on the weekend

This morning's view of the Castle. 

I see sunlight and blue skies! I hope this lasts.

I would have liked to have flounced around the office in this outfit today - it's an outfit made for flouncing - but today was so busy, I realized at 3:20 that I hadn't had my first cup of coffee (or tea). I also completely missed my lunch.  

 So I wasn't in much of a flouncing mood.

I did have a few of my very kind coworkers whisper, "You look amazing" at me, which helped.

 'Tis a wide dress! And it has pockets.

Utterly comfy and easy to wear.

 I showed off the legs today.

Outerwear - because it was clear this morning, it was brrrr! cold!

 The Unsafe Polar Bear, complete with pink accoutrements.

• Cashmere/silk pashmina - Portolano, thrifted
• Leather gloves - consignment

One of my readers asked me about all the walking I do - I frequently mention walking to and from work, or walking to town. I really do these things! I am lucky to have a 15-20 minute walking commute to my office, a 15-minute commute from there to my WW meeting (and I can easily walk home from that in about 20 minutes). A walk to town is only 15 minutes. Sometimes when I'm really pressed for time or as a treat on Fridays, I take a transit bus, since they run frequently.

 I rarely wear my good shoes outside, even on a really sunny day. I have a collection of flat shoes and boots that I consider my walking/shopping shoes, that I do wear out and about on my shopping adventures and on weekends, but during the work-week, I wear these lovely white leather Doc Martens to walk to/from work, and carry my good shoes in a bag.

The stuff:

 These booties are far too high to walk more than a few blocks. I can manage fine with them in the office but I'm not on my feet all day.

Gold and pink bling:

I liked the big statement necklace with the bright PANK.

• Necklace - vintage, thrifted
• Earrings - made by Sherri
• Amber ring - c. 1996
• Gold/amethyst ring - Frances Jewelers, c. 1965, Dad's

I'll be dressing in thematic colours for Valentine's Day tomorrow - will you?
