Cosmic Daze with Poly and Navy

I am a mass of cosmic influences today: night sky, stars, swirls of outer space dust! They are all in my outfit.

 Or maybe I am just in a daze from it being Monday. Five more sleeps till vacation!

• Vest - no label, thrifted; last seen here in March to meet a reader
• Top - Jean-Paul Gaultier, consignment; last worn here (4th outfit) in August for a shopping trip
• Skirt - Trina Turk, consignment; last seen here (2nd outfit) in November for a weekend brunch
• Booties - Coffee Kope Tiam, Fluevog; last worn here in November with cropped leather and green
• Coat (below) - Hilary Radley, thrifted; last seen here last week

I built my outfit around three things: new-to-me earrings, a new-to-me necklace and an old pair of footless tights. You can see a bit of the shiny metal discs on the tights in some of the pictures - they are all down near the ankles and lower calf, and these tights are saggy and kept sliding down, so NOPE, in the bin you go!

This oversized velvet ruffled vest thingy is also in the giveaway pile. I like it, but it's not the most flattering thing I own. I was all "yes!" about this last fall/winter, but am feeling "meh" about it this year. Another hanger freed up. So it goes.

I love the top and its cosmic circles... it's, like, trippy, man...The colour is blown out a bit so that you can see the details of texture and pattern.

See? Bad back definition from the vesty thing.

The skirt is my lovely Trina Turk tulle one - it's a very rich navy blue and very floaty and fun to wear. Needs pockets.

It's such a Monday that I don't even have a face for you.

 But look at all my accessories! It's a galaxy of shiny things. My hands and wrists are fully armoured-up.

Outerwear - I was dubious that I would need the Unsafe Ocelot today, but by the time I walked home, carrying all my groceries, I was so glad to be bundled up. Slashing rain and wind!

 Ding dong, Winter's calling.

• Headwrap - thrifted
• Gloves - Parkhurst
• Fur scarf - Danier Leather

My headwrap and gloves are navy blue too.

The stuff:

 Sometimes you just need a taupe bootie.

Poly bling:

My new-to-me necklace and earrings are featured today, and are a galactic swirl of shapes and textures: gold, brass, silver, steel, and even a touch of blue.

• Cuff - JPA, vintage fair
• Earrings - thrifted here for $5.00 - first wearing
• All other jewelry - POLY by Christophe Poly; all thrifted, vintage fairs. 

The square Poly necklace is the new-to-me one, purchased here on the weekend for $14.00 in a used furniture store. It's like the universe put it there for me to find.
