Humboldt Green and Ombre

I'll be taking a few days' vacation as of now to show a dear friend around town, so leaving you with a serious look with a fun edge. 

 I felt good in this outfit - nothing new here, all old stuff that I've had for a while - the jacket is the newest thing I own, and this is its fourth wear.

• Jacket - fake Gucci (Gookey!), thrifted; last seen here (2nd outfit) in March with a garbage bag skirt
• Top - Plum, thrifted; last worn here in August 2017 with a delightful leather skirt
• Skirt - Nygard, consignment; last seen here in January with cobalt cashmere
• Shoes - Half Truth Tanya, Fluevog; last worn here (2nd outfit) for St. Paddy's Day
• Coat (below) - Danier Leather; last seen here last weekend

My office did a "Show your support for Humboldt" day, following a tragic bus crash of a junior hockey team near Tisdale, Saskatchewan (I've been there) last week. My office was full of people wearing either green (the team's colour) or a sports jersey. I went with green, although I have worn a jersey to work (with this same skirt!) before.

 We pick outfits for all kinds of reasons. My lace Gookey jacket looked appropriately sportslike, but I still wanted to look professional.

I liked how the lace went with the houndstooth skirt.

It felt like a simple outfit, and was comfy for a very busy day at work, as I cleared the decks for a couple of days off.

I know, you're looking at my hair. I messed with the colour (as I do).

 I bleached the ends out to a bright pink and dyed the roots a darker purple, to give it an overall ombre effect. My hairdresser will not flip out (to my face, ha), but I felt like something different. One thing you'll notice if you ever click back in my blog, is that my hair is constantly in flux. I never keep the same style for long - and I've always been like that.

It was cool and a bit chilly in the morning, but got sunny in the afternoon.

 Leather weather! It's just perfect for my leather coats. Must wear more.

The stuff:

Gads, I love these shoes. They are such a comfortable pair.

Minimal bling: 

Sometimes you just want earrings.

Okay, my friends, have a fabulous weekend! I will be back on Monday with oodles of pictures from our weekend adventures with Ally!
