Jelly-Deer and Gold Pleats

Thanks, everyone, for your comments on yesterday's "What about this top?" question - I appreciate your candor! I've put it in the giveaway pile (those of you who've known me a long time could have predicted that, heh heh). It was limited wear, didn't spark my creativity, wasn't that great on me, and I have a fall/winter version of it already, that's vintage, wool and hand-beaded (this beauty by Adrienne Vittadini). I only paid $12.99 for the neoprene top, so I'm totally fine with $6.50 per wear, and off it will go to someone who will love it. It's fashion karma! 

And the world turns, and a new outfit appears. 

 Ha, yes, I am wearing a sweater! A very thin one, but a sweater nonetheless. I work in an air-conditioned office all day.

• Sweater - Kersh, print by Pina, thrifted; last seen here in May as Princess Jelly-Deer
• Skirt - Gap, thrifted; purchased here for $6.95
• Shoes - Down to Earth Hadfield, Fluevog; last worn here (4th outfit) in July for shopping
• Blazer (below) - Vero Moda, thrifted; last seen here (2nd outfit) in June for the Day of Indolence

All hail the Jelly-Deer! This top has many admirers. It's a navy blue with sparkle thread. A lot of people like that the jelly-fish-deer matches my glasses.

 First wearing of this lovely golden-mustard skirt - it was nicely swooshy to wear. I'll be popping it into the fall/winter pile after today, though. It reads as very autumnal, even though it was perfectly fine for summer. I have other summer things I still want to wear before they are packed away in a month.

A bow at the back! AW, said Fiona, my coworker (and fellow skirt-lover).

 I wore a black half-slip under the skirt, even though it's lined, as it's a bit big in the waist on me, and I wanted the extra midsection coverage.

I wore the velour blazer just for sunblock, but ended up wearing it off and on all day in my chilly office.

 It's a rich burgundy colour - sorry, the light right now is whack due to smoke haze.

The stuff:

 Wonderfully comfy shoes. These have proven to be shockingly versatile - I've worn them close to 20 times in the 3 years since I bought them.

Copper bling:

I liked how the copper harmonized the gold and navy with the shoes' pattern.

• Enameled cuff - Matisse by Renoir, vintage 60s, vintage expo
• Earrings - vintage expo

Another busy weekend coming up, starting with tomorrow. Have a wonderful weekend, my friends. Thank you so much for visiting! I will be back with my Bigass Weekend Wrap-Up on Sunday.
