Oh, I am so happy it is Friday. I woke up feeling sick, coughing and feeling tight in my chest. I am happily dosed up to the eyeballs with druuuuuugs (the legal kind), so I'm pretending I am not sick.
- Top - Dries van Noten, thrifted; first worn here with a finned skirt in October 2017
- Jeans - Versace, vintage 80s, thrifted; last seen here in May 2017 for another Casual Friday
- Shoes - Miista; last worn here just last week (in January!) with a leather dress and fruital
- Coat (below) - Danier Leather, thrifted; last seen here in December 2017
The last time I wore this Dries van Noten top, I layered a now-gone blouse under it. This time I just did a camisole for extra warmth, and I liked the look much better.
The print is pixelated, and the fabric itself has shiny/dull pixels woven into it. Dries is very hands-on with his fabrics - I really appreciate that attention to detail.
Outerwear - it was raining this morning, so soft and comfy warm pieces for me.
- Fur scarf/leather gloves - Danier
The stuff:
Copper bling:
- Cuff - Renoir, vintage 60s, Grandma J's
- Bracelet/earrings - Renoir, vintage 60s, vintage fair
I have many exciting things planned this weekend, and I don't intend to let a little thing like a cold or the flu keep me from doing them! I'll be back on Sunday (before the Super Bowl) with a recap of all the adventures! Happy weekend, my friends!
I always feel kind of chuffed when you're wearing one of your Dries Van Noten pieces. After all, he was one of the famous Antwerp Six back in the 1980s. So, obviously, I am loving your top, which is quite a statement piece, with its pixelated print and hand-sewn beads. Ordinary jeans would have been perfect with it, but your Versace jeans are even better, of course. And that's what you call casual! Here's to a great weekend full of adventures! xxx
ReplyDeleteI know! I've become a huge fan of Dries since I first read about him and found one (or four!) of his pieces. I even saw a documentary about him! Thank you so much, Ann!
DeleteThat's a fantastic combo! Respiratory ick is so terrible, wishing you better breathing in the very near future.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julia - hoping I feel better soon too!
DeleteOh no - I hope the drugs work and you stay fairly sick-free over the weekend! It's so hard when you're sick, but you always manage to look pulled-together! :)
ReplyDeleteMore druuuugs...I hate being sick, but fake till you make it, right??
DeleteHope you are feeling better. And, hey, what's a picture of you doing on my blog?!
ReplyDeleteThank you, sweetheart! Aw, what's that doing there??
DeleteGolly, so you really have been sick for some time eh? By the time I'm playing catch up again, hopefully this will all be long forgotten.
ReplyDeleteWell done with your "I'm not sick" attitude and easy to wear outfit - handled like a pro!

Just over a week - my whinging only makes it feel like longer, lol. Thanks, hon!
DeleteDries and Versace never looked so good together...
ReplyDeleteA few weeks ago i saw a pair of Versace jeans at a consignment shop and thought of your pair, however it was too small for me.
Oh, how cool - too bad they didn't fit. I love mixing my high-end designers!
