Black and White All Over

Is it colour backlash from Rainbow Week last week? Nope, just working my way through all my not-yet-worn clothes and I didn't feel like making a lot of effort. 

 And when I'm feeling lazy, you know I'm going to default to a dress.

• Dress - Talbots, thrifted; last seen here in July 2017 with new Fluevogs
• Shoes - Van Eli, thrifted; last worn here (6th outfit, way down at the bottom) in May for the start of Jeans Week
• Jacket (below) - Club Monaco; last seen here in June

I think of this as my Charlie Brown dress because the zigzag stripes remind me of his shirt. I haven't worn this dress in a full year, but it is packed away for 6 months, and it firmly falls into the "hot weather" dress category. I don't like a jacket or cardi layered over it, so I need to wait for warm weather.

 It's a lovely lace over a cotton/poly lining. Very comfy and loose, but not a sack.

It was a quiet day at work, but I'm still glad it's over.

 I have a long weekend coming up, and I'm going to take a wee blog break, as Samantha recommends here (join her link-up!). I don't have a phone/tablet/laptop (I know, shocker!) so it's pretty easy for me to step away.

Outerwear - I was all ready for the sun, but it didn't appear.

"I hear the siren call of my cat-bed."

 It's been a "white" day - bright, solid white clouds all day, but still warm.

• Hat - thrifted

The stuff:

 I put a pair of inserts in these sandals, hoping to stave off the deterioration of the inside soles, which seem to be made of cardboard (??). I'm going to have to toss these at the end of the summer, which is a shame because I quite like them.

Silver bling:

Just pieces I like.

• Bangle - local
• Dragon bangle - Lazy Susan's
• Cuff - St. Paul's Cathedral gift shop, London
• Earrings - Mom's
• Lapis lazuli ring/Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes
