The Jammy Suit and Cat Bomber

Ah, one more day - I know I can make it. Still feeling low, but that's okay - I know I'll come out of it eventually. I really loved this post here today, by the Bloggess. If you don't know her, give her a shot - she makes me laugh and cry, and I've also enjoyed two of her books very much.*link 'cause I love

 As soon as I'm done here, I plan to eat a nice healthy dinner (followed by some chocolate), and chill out with Vizzini and Project Runway. Perfect self-care.

• Suit - Part Two; purchased here as separates on the weekend for $49.99 for the trousers and $59.99 for the jacket
• Blouse - Renuar, thrifted; last worn here in March under a corset top
• Shoes - Matisse; last seen here in April with yellow and daisies

And here...is my new suit! Aren't I classy? Hello to Vizzini, who photo-bombed most of my pictures this morning.

"A black suit? I'm wearing it better."

I only wore it done up walking to and from work, but it has very nice lines, doesn't it?

The fabric was a dream, very light and flowy.

"You should try being furry. Very flowy, my fur."

It did feel like pajamas - I felt like I was cheating. That's not a real suit; it's not stiff and uncomfortable!

Check out my lining - nice piping.

"All the best cats have white bits."

I wore the jacket unbuttoned all day. I dressed so that I could take it off if I overheated.

Pockets!

I like this look too, so I will definitely be wearing these as separates. It's important for a suit to be able to have the pieces live separate lives.

It's like a good marriage.

 Also, one's butt must look good in trousers or they shall leave the closet immediately.

The stuff:

 I had originally planned to wear these shoes, but opted for a lower heel and the pattern mix of these brogues instead.

Gold bling:

My mom's metal/glass floral brooch was an easy choice - it's such a cool piece.

• Brooch - vintage 70s, Mom's
• Belt - thrifted
• Pearl ring - Erth, consignment
• Crystal ring - Uffizi Gallery gift shop, Florence, Italy
• Earrings - thrifted

And my friends, with that, it's time to slouch off to a quiet evening. 

"Get your lap ready for cuddles."

This weekend is Victoria Day (celebrating Queen Victoria's birthday - yes, this is a national holiday in Canada!), so we have Monday off. To my Canuck readers, enjoy your long weekend; and to everyone else, happy weekend, and thank you for stopping by!
