Red Dress, Tan Boots - Six Pockets!

Just as my cold (or whatever it was) seems to be waning, I have come down with my February allergies. The streets here are lined with beech trees, and all we need are a few warmer days for them to start spewing pollen all over the place. 

 Guh, I can't breathe. After the billionth sneeze this morning at work, I popped a Reactine for some relief. Better. Now I just have to suck it up and go to the dentist.

• Cardigan - Theory, thrifted; purchased here in January for $6.00
• Dress - Talbots, consignment; last worn here with a beaded cardigan in December 2017
• Boots - Matisse, consignment; last seen here (2nd outfit) in December 2017 with my Christmas tree skirt
• Coat (below) - Denny Rose, consignment; last worn here in January

I built the outfit around this fabulous new-to-me belt that I bought on the weekend. After being "off" belts for a while, I'm now back on the belt bandwagon, and wanting to wear them more. Good thing, as I have quite a collection.

 I'd forgotten about this lovely wool Theory cardigan that I picked up back in January - I'd steamed it and hung it on the back of one of our task chairs, where it promptly faded from my memory, even though it was right there in front of my face!

The dress is a favourite, full of swoosh and swirl.

 It has two pockets in the skirt, and the cardigan has two pockets. Look out, I'm doing the Pocket Quadruple!

Outerwear - a little overcast and drizzly today. I bused to the dentist for my 7-month check-up, then walked home in the grey misty droplets.

 It's not that cold, so just a wee fur scarf and my wool gloves and I'm good.

• Fur scarf - Danier, thrifted
• Gloves - Parkhurst

But wait, what is this? Could it be? The elusive Pocket Sextuple?

This is my "I hate being sick" face

 Yes, it's true! I had 6 pockets. This doesn't make up for the pocketless outfits, but it's close.

The stuff:

 These boots are so comfy, I walked to work in them, then home from the dentist.

Tan and brass bling:

The belt worked well - it's very heavy and I was aware of it all day. The metal mesh lining was initially cold, but warmed to my body temperature. It's like chain mail on my waist!
