One good day does not a recovery make - today was a little rough, I confess.
My FedEx guy said, "I thought you'd be wearing more colour." Aw. I tried, dammit! I'm pretty glittery, that should count for something.- Jacket - GIEFFEFFE by Gianfranco Ferre, vintage 90s, thrifted; purchased here for $4.50
- Dress - Christian Lacroix for Desigual, thrifted; last seen here in November 2017
- Shoes - Seychelles; purchased here for $45.00
- Leather trenchcoat (below) - vintage, thrifted; last seen here in February
This morning's photos were totally taken over by Vizzini. He zoomed out past me as I was headed down the hall to do my stair picture.
"What, this isn't my hall too?" |
Then he insisted on being in most of the pictures.
"I've heard the calling of my fans. They said, "More cat."" |
The jacket kept me nice and warm. They haven't quite gotten the A/C right at the new office yet. Brrr.
"Are you still in my picture?" |
Jacket done up. A very 90s cut to it - it's crying out for a big broomstick skirt!
I only wore it done up under my coat.
Outerwear - feeling some 70s colours!
First wearing of my Dolce & Gabbana velvet scarf - it was cozy and warm!
- Velvet D&G scarf - thrifted here for $14.99
- Wool gloves - Parkhurst
The stuff:
I was worried that these glitter shoes would be too stiff or rub, but they were awesomely comfortable. I can see that the glitter will wear off where they bend for my toes, but they were not too delicate in the office - I didn't see any glitter leakage.
Gold bling:
All kinds of sparkly! My friendship ring is dedicated to my dear Winesday women.
- Belt - vintage, gift from mother-in-law, Powell River
- Wooden ring - consignment
- Amber ring - c. 1996
- Earrings - vintage fair
Had to pop into the comments and teeheehee about broomstick skirt comment. I remember being so jealous that my sister had one and I didn't. I'd get so grumpy when I had to help her twist it up after she had worn it to maintain the crinkles.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember those?? I had one, and wore it until it wore out! Thanks so stopping in, Cara, so nice to see you!
DeleteLOL, 'tis true. More cat! And you can never have enough glitter. :)
ReplyDeleteHa, Sue, you're just validating him! The glitter part is true, though.
DeleteI love how Vizzini was so adamant about being in photos today! :) I like your outfit too, I like all of the sparkle. I had to google broomstick skirt though, I hadn't heard the term before! HOpe that tomorrow is better than today was for you :)
ReplyDeleteHe's such an odd cat! Thank you, Mica! They were all the rage in 1994. Thank you.
DeleteYour new shoes look fabulous, Sheila! I really need to add some glitter shoes to my collection! ;) I love your dress and it looks great with that jacket. I love the Vizzini pics! He's so adorable! XXX
ReplyDeleteEvery woman needs glitter! Thank you. Yes, he knows.
DeleteVizzini is an absolute star - Stephen Squirrel is impossible to photograph, he can't sit still!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is fabulous along with the added sparkle. xxx
He is, but very dastardly about being in the pictures. Sneaky! Thank you!
DeleteI love the colour of that jacket! And the gold and sparkly bling. Those shoes really look amazing! Aw, Vizzini! Phoebe sometimes photobombs as well, but all you can see is a black blur. xxx
ReplyDeleteSo hard to get colours right. Thank you, Ann! I often have blurs as well.
DeleteHaha, that crazy cat looks too cute just sitting there !
ReplyDeleteOh and arent you happy you got those shoes ?! They look so good.
He's such a cutie, but also a monster. Don't be fooled.
DeleteI love the shoes!
Glitter leakage is always a concern. I'm glad you have that under control. And I hope they work out that AC situation soon! Vizzini, that rascal cat! Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteThey should make a product for that, some sort of unguent. Vizzini is a schtar!
DeleteWhat the heck is a broomstick skirt?
ReplyDeleteI like this outfit very much; I didn't realise the jacket was green - what a bargain that was!
Glad there was no glitter leakage...
Google it - you'll get hundreds of images, Vronni. Thank you - I know, I could not leave it behind.
DeleteGorgeous dress, and your grey skirt and velvet top from previous post. Great photos of Vizzini, he is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Polly! Thank you so much for reading. Vizzini knows he's lovely - such a silly cat.
DeleteLove the shoes. And, even more, I love your regularity. Seeing your posts and their reliable frequency comforts me in a way.
ReplyDeleteAw, I love that, thank you, Ally! They are comforting to me, too.
DeleteGlitter shoes and that gold belt, what a riot! Bring on the bling girl.
