Black and White and Red All Over

More digging into my favourite pieces for a 'buh-bye" before they get packed away.

 The top, skirt and shoes will all go into storage for 6 months, under my bed.

• Top - H&M, thrifted; first worn here in May with yellow and dots
• Skirt - Pierre Cardin, vintage 60s, vintage store, Vancouver; last worn here in July 2017 (yikes!)
• Shoes - Zoomies Ishshoes, Fluevog; last seen here in June with pink and blue
• Leather jacket (below) - Danier Couture, consignment; last worn here in April

I've only worn this top once since I got it, but it's a good shape, and I like the pattern. I decided to go for a little pattern-mixing.

 Red polka dots are practically a neutral. They're always a good base for a melange of pattern.

The skirt is divine - pure silk, handmade (all sort of hand-stitching) in France (KLASSY). And vintage Pierre Cardin! I thought I'd worn it already this year, but nope, it's been over a year since last time. Just made it under the wire, but it's a total keeper!

 I snazzed up the long skirt with ultra-modern white shoes. I do not give any flying...elephants!...about white after Labour Day or any of that prescriptive BS.

Jacketed - I wore the jacket to and from work only.

 I got totally soaked in a monsoon morning shower on the way to work, but it was bright and sunny all day. Of course!

Zipped up.

 I always feel like a badass spy in this jacket.

The stuff:

 Despite my immense love for these shoes, they are indeed going to be packed away. I have lots of winter shoes and boots to wear - it's not like I'm going to run out of footwear!

Silver bling:

Most of this stuff will be packed away too - I tend to wear more gold and copper jewelry in the cooler months.

• Steel cuff - thrifted
• Bangle - local
• Crystal ring - Soul Flower
• Shield ring - Nine West
• Earrings - Plum
