Feeling up and down today - not inspired to create a more whimsical title, so yes, I am wearing blue and silver.
Wearing the blue, feeling the blues, a bit. That's okay.- Dress - Nanette Lepore, thrifted, Vancouver; last worn here in September 2018 and giving zero F#@!s
- Shoes - Sol Sana; last seen here (2nd outfit) in February for the VFF Gala
- Coat (below) - Tangerine Jill, thrifted; first worn here in April
When you're feeling blue, a dress can help.
You don't really have to think too much. Does X go with Y? What top do I wear?
You just throw it on.
I added silver bits to this, and big honkin' shoes.
Real face.
My mood lifted slightly towards the end of the day.
It's hard to be blue when the sun is out and it's warm.
It's also hard to be blue in bright pink.
I nearly forgot I had this lovely linen coat.
Such sweet ruffles around the lapels.
The stuff:
One of my coworkers who just transferred from Germany was shocked that I had bare toes in the office. We're on the west coast, it's all casual out here.
Silver bling:
Silver, steel and aluminum, actually.
- Silver cuff - Bauxo
- Steel cuff - thrifted
- Steel earrings - gift from Lise
- Aluminum belt - vintage fair
- Silver/crystal ring - Soul Flower
- Silver/lapis lazuli ring - Wendy Brandes
Such a pretty dress, and I LOVE that amazing belt. Sending a hug and hoping tomorrow's a better day :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Cynthia! Feeling better today, much appreciated.
DeleteYou look so cute in the blue dress and pink linen jacket! Hope your mood stays up--- I know how some days can be ❤❤❤
ReplyDeleteThank you, Becky! Yeah, things will get better, thanks.
DeleteI love blue and silver together - which is why most of my jewellery is silver, as I wear blue so much, haha! I'm glad your mood lifted a bit - the power of a great dress!
ReplyDeleteSame here, Mica. Good dresses are powerful things!
DeleteI love that shade of blue - a bit grey and rainy in the UK at the moment so I will try a blue dress!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope it works, Rebecca! It's so sunny over here right now.
DeleteI hope you are over the blues soon, and that your blue dress summons blue-sky moods instead!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mim, what a lovely wish.
DeleteSorry to hear you've been feeling blue but I know it will pass. I've got the odd episode too, you just have to let it happen. Wearing blue might do the trick, though. I love how that dress hugs your figure, those fabulous shoes and silver belt, and - cherry on the cake - that rather lovely pink coat! A virtual hug is on its way! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann, you're right, it will pass. Bright colours usually work. Thank you! Hug received.
DeleteThat shade of blue is my favorite blue. Gorgeous dress and it looks even more gorgeous with the silver jewelry. I also like to wear silver with my blue. Love those awesome shoes and the pink coat! Wishing you sunny vibes to chase away the blues!
ReplyDeleteMe too, Cheryene! It's so lush and deep. Thank you! I can almost feel that blue cloud lifting.
DeleteThat dress should have cheered you up! And if not the dress, then the beautiful coat should have!😘😘😘
ReplyDeleteThey both helped a lot, thanks, Nancy!
DeleteSorry that your mood is not the best one, but glad that you went for a cheering up dress, some fab bling and a really cool pink coat!, I agree that it's hard to be blue in bright pink (and ruffles).
ReplyDeleteYou totally Rock!
besos
Thank you, my dear! Bright colours always lift my mood.
DeleteLove the honking shoes and the beautiful blue of your dress.
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing your mood this week hence the lack of blogging - I'm better today 'cos there's a bit of sunshine. xxx
Thanks, Vix! I adore these shoes.
DeleteSorry to hear you've got the blues too, Vix. Rain can really drag one down.
There is always tomorrow ;)
ReplyDeleteThat dress certainly makes me smile and with pink, i got a big grin- hope you are past that.
You got it - things turn around.
DeleteThank you, hon, getting there.
Love to see that all of your cheer leaders were wishing you well Sheila - what a great bunch of followers you have! I'm sure you'll be much brighter now, but if not I'll ship you a load of hugs too. The dress is cool and all the more so with those stonking sandals. Perfect styling as ever x
ReplyDeleteYes, it really helps to share it when I'm feeling blue - such lovely readers, they cheer me right up. I'll take the hugs! Thank you!
DeleteI had a very up-and-down week mentally too. Our weather has been crap, which has not been a good thing for my brain chemistry. Hope you're feeling brighter. The dress is a beautiful colour and flattering shape - perfect for a day when you need to keep things simple but also want to look like you are feeling better than you are.
ReplyDeleteMust the be the phase of the moon or something! I have seen that you guys have been getting nasty weather. I hope it gets better soon. Thank you so much, Shelley.
DeleteWhat a great blue dress and I love the silver belt too!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a great outfit to pull you out of the blues. Hope you're having a good week. X
Thank you so much, Jess! The power of clothing - it's amazing. Happy week to you!
