A few extra pictures today. I hit a wrong button and got a bunch of
I'm a blur!
Here's the fabric close-up - I know the pictures don't show it well.
Only 2 more days!
Being an ex-chef I knew about the spinach but not about the sword fighting and there's also the art, the biscuits and, of course, your fabulous dress!
ReplyDeleteLove that you've ramped up the bling factor with plenty of gold accessories, if you're going to do it then do it properly - and you do! xxx
Thank you for the reminder about the art, and is THAT what those biscuits are called?? I love those! Yup, go big or go home, right, Vix?
DeleteLove the gold accessories, especially the belt! X
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love a bigass belt, hey, Jess?
DeleteYey for only 2 days left to go, and those blurry photos do pick up the gold so well! this dress works so well with gold and I love how pulled together outfits look when you have a common theme running through the accessories - sometimes I throw mine on, but the outfits I stop and think about the overall look like this are the ones I enjoy more!
ReplyDeleteThe blur matched my state of mind! Thank you so much - the outfits we're really mindful with are often our best ones.
Deletewoww, I'm loving your Florentine dress and its fabulous texture and quality fabric, with the golden threads! and you created a perfect ensemble adding your golden accessories, particularly those seasonable brooches, so cute detail!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous!
besos
It's such a lovely piece - thank you, Monica! I love wearing my wee trees at this time of year.
DeleteLove this outfit immensely. Imagining myself at a holiday party in it. (Is that okay? I promise to give it back.) The belt and heels are so perfect with the dress. You're a fashion maven.
ReplyDeleteDuh, of course! My dresses are always out for loan for parties. Thank you, hon. I have always aspired to mavenhood.
DeleteOh, that dress's fabric is stunning, Sheila. Thanks for the close-up! Love the gold bling, especially those Christmassy brooches. Love how the gold seems to come alive in the blurry pics ... After a short cold snap, I've reverted to my Autumn coats too, none of them as fabulous as yours though. I've always admired that coat of yours! And it's just perfect with the pink scarf, beret and gloves, too. Just one more day for me, but it's going to be a hectic one, as usual. Hang on in there, Sheila, not long now! xxx
ReplyDeleteI knew you would like the detail, Ann - it really does not show at all in the pictures. This coat was such a find - and so cheap! One day more for me now! We can do it!
DeleteSo pretty and so glam---gorgeous lady!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, sweetheart!
DeleteGorgeous brocade detail with the brooches.
ReplyDeleteYou look marvelous and i always enjoy seeing the outerwear because its an entirely different outfit.
Thank you, hon! I know, I've really had to step up my outerwear game!
