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.
I'm loving your chartreuse dress, it's a fantastic piece ans it deserves a lot of chances to shine! And it shines with the fab shoes! and fabulous accessorizing (those earrings!) I love the cool 60's vibe in this outfit!

Thanks, Monica! It was a lovely outfit to wear.
DeleteI can't tell you how much I love this dress! The whole outfit is just fantastic.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever tire of the dress, let me know!;)
Aw, thanks, Chrissy! Ha, I will!
DeleteAnd 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
ReplyDeleteI so agree, Ann! Thank you! Vizzini has amazing moustaches! Thanks, hon, you too.
DeleteWhat a fantastic skirt.....that dress has! Very delicate. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty amazing. Thanks, Nancy!
DeleteI am in love with the sunflower earrings! The dress is magnificent and it fooled me; I thought it was a skirt and top!
ReplyDeleteHave a restful weekend.
They were a little on the heavy side, but thanks, Vronni! Gotcah! ;-P
DeleteLove the dress and earrings. X
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jess!
DeleteThis 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!

Thank you, Elle! I like this length too. Oh yes, off with the heels, and on with the slippers. Aw, that's so sweet of you.
DeleteShut up, that dress is so beautiful! And I love those heels too!
ReplyDeleteNo, you shut up, ha ha! Thanks, Krysten!
DeleteThat dress is an absolute winner, it looks so good on - the gold shoes are perfect but obviously Vizzini is the best accessory ever! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vix! Vizzini knows it!
DeleteI love Vizzini's white whiskers and goatee - Sylvester is jealous!
ReplyDeleteAw, no need! Sylvester is a handsome boy too. :)
DeleteChic, elegant and totally you Sheila, you look fabulous in this dress, so why not wear it again? The shoes are the perfect companions, my dear, well done.

Thanks, hon - exactly! Why wait?
DeleteYou look fabulous, this dress was such an amazing find Sheila.
