Chartreuse Cheater Again?

Yes! I am totally wearing this dress again - right away! 
 I spent 4 hours wearing it in a dark restaurant the first time, so why the heck not?


  • Dress - Phoebe Couture, thrifted; first worn here (2nd outfit) last Friday for dinner out with Tammy
  • Shoes - Big Presence Desmond, Fluevog; last seen here (4th outfit) for a late September Vancouver wedding
  • Coat (below) - Stop Staring!, thrifted; last worn here earlier this month


Most people at both works said they liked my "skirt' - nuh-uh! It's a "cheater": this is all one piece.
 I switched up my accessories, did my hair differently, and voila! All new outfit.

It's the structured version of the "jammy" dress. I love the rich chartreuse silk skirt part.
"Did you say jam? Is it time for food?"

Vizzini was lurking around. The top of this dress is a bit of a cat fur magnet, I found out.

Outerwear - I changed that up too, although I prefer the Burberry leather jacket overall.
 It's getting colder out, so a bigger (and warmer) coat was needed. I went colourful with my accoutrements: purple, pink and orange!


  • Beret - thrifted
  • Fur scarf - thrifted
  • Leather gloves - Danier Leather


The stuff:
 These shoes are so shiny! My feet are tired after a long day, though.

Gold bling:
 I built the outfit around the "sunflower" earrings. They were not too heavy, but they did swing a lot. I liked the statement they made with the black top.


  • Earrings - vintage fair, purchased here for $2.00 - first wearing
  • Bracelet - Lia Sophia, thrifted
  • Amber ring - c. 1996
  • Amethyst ring - Frances Jewelers, c. 1965, Dad's


I'll be back on Sunday - this is my last peaceful weekend before the holidays, so I'm making the...least...of it! I plan to lay low.
"Hello to all my fans. Please admire my fine moustache."

There might even be some kitty-cuddling in there! Happy weekend, my friends.

  3. And why not wear this almost jammy, fabulous chartreuse cheater dress again? It is gorgeous and an instant pick-me-up! Love your outerwear too: I've admired that fabulous coat many a time, and adding colourful accessories makes it even better! Oh, and Phoebe says hi to Vizzini, but she's rather jealous of his handsome moustache! Have a lovely, relaxing weekend, Sheila! xxx

  6. This chartreuse dress is stunning. Fabulous details and I love the length on you. Pretty gold heels, but I am hoping you are now wearing slippers and enjoy your relaxation time! I also love your hair styled like that, I can see more of your pretty face!
