Woo, another hot day, with temps up to 28 degrees today! It's expected to be the same tomorrow, causing me to have to re-plan some of my outfits to deal with the soaring mercury.
- Blouse - Milly, thrifted; purchased here for $14.99
- Skirt - Firenze Santa Barbara, vintage 80s, thrifted; last worn here (5th outfit) in April with green lace and red for Easter
- Shoes - Lola Ramona; last worn here in April with all black and white
- Jacket (below) - Stella McCartney for Adidas, consignment; first seen here in April with yellow and stripes
I wore a white camisole under this mostly sheer silk blouse. I love the over-sized "scribble" style of drawing on it.
I liked the unexpected look of the dotted shoes with the outfit.
One more day, and then I have a day off adventure planned on Friday.
I think I'll pass on the jacket, even though I adore the daisies on this one.
The stuff:
Circular bling:
- Silicone bracelet - Materia Design
- Glass bangle - thrifted
- Earrings - Stella & Dot, consignment, Vancouver
- Silver/aventurine ring - consignment
- Onyx/silver ring - Tocara, vintage fair
As the temperatures climb, our little kitty finds ways to keep cool. This morning, he was in L's tie-box under the bed.

Nestled in the cool silk.
Every time you wear those shoes, I drool. Black and white? Bows? Ankle strap? Polka dots and stripes? Gorgeous! And such a great pop against the acid green.
ReplyDeleteI know, aren't they lovely? I don't buy a ton retail but these were definitely worth it, Cynthia. Thank you!
DeleteLove those shoes!!! Such a cool outfit. And Vizzini is such a cutie pie :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lise! He really is.
DeleteAnonymous = Lise :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I appreciate that - I like to know who's visiting. :)
DeleteThe epitome of spring in those fabulous colours. Love the daisy print jacket and the super cool shoes, too. Share some of that hear, will you? It's like Winter here!
ReplyDeleteLook at that naughty lad of yours! Cats like a bit of quality clothing, don't they? xxx
I will happily share 5-10 degrees of this heat with you, Vix!
DeleteAw, L doesn't mind - his ties are all a jumble anyway.
Lovely outfit. The shoes really rock.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ally! They are so cool.
DeleteI'm loving those acid yellows. That colour is such a great pick-me-up. Shame about the daisy jacket, as it's very cute. And can I say those shoes are utterly fabulous! Look at Vizzini! Phoebe often seeks refuge from the heat under the bed as well. xxx
ReplyDeleteI love acid yellow too, Ann - it's so electric. Eh, the jacket would have been fine in 22 degree weather - it's that extra hot summer weather I could do without!
DeleteIsn't Vizzini cute? Our bedroom is the coolest place in the house, but I think he likes that covered/hemmed in/protected feeling from the tie-box.
Lovely outfit and the shoes are simply gorgeous! Loved your bling...
ReplyDeleteWhat is that cat like?
Thank you so much, Vronni! I put a lot of thought into my bling, and as you are the bling-master that's high praise. :)
DeleteHe is a funny thing: a little bitey, very chatty, very smart. We give him a lot of attention, as he's a member of our family.
Oh gosh, I I am so in love with those shoes! Amazing! The best slingbacks I've ever seen. I love bows on shoes.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nancy! I actually can't do regular slingbacks - my ankles are too narrow and the strap slides off - so I love the ankle strap on these. Bows!
DeleteI am finally behind my computer as I still cannot comment on my iPhone on your blog posts. Rats.
ReplyDeleteI love the combination of this top with the skirt. Brilliant. And to add those fun polka dot shoes is clever. Makes it even more interesting.
I bet L was pleased with Vizzini (NOT).

Well, we're even, as I can't comment on your posts without a Discus account (rats!).
DeleteThank you so much! Aw, L doesn't mind - we love our kitty more than a bunch of ties.
Beautiful.

Thank you! I appreciate the visit. :)
DeleteLike Vix I'd love some of your heat - all we've had is rain for ages! That silk looks beautifully cool, and the acid yellow really suits you.
ReplyDeleteSending some sun your way, Mim! I love silk in warm weather.
DeleteWow love the bright colors. I have to learn from you, you wear your stuff right a way. I take forever.
ReplyDelete28 is cool for us.
I can't imagine 28 being cool!
DeleteI have to wear things right away - otherwise, I might never do it!
ReplyDeleteI love this combination, and I'm glad you defy the summer heat. You are really stunning in this outfit.
Thank you very much!
DeleteEven though I'm not inclined to wear yellow, I would give that yummy yellow leather (say that five times quickly) skirt a go. I have one of those square "gummy" silicone bracelets in red that I got at a Museum gift shop in New York.
ReplyDeleteIt's a really nice acid yellow. Oh, how cool! We're bracelet twins! Thanks, Shelley!
DeleteYou rock (particularly) in yellow!, and I love this outfit!, those shoes are really Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSorry that it was not comfy for a hot day!
besos
Thank you, my dear! Oh, it was only the jacket that was too hot - the rest was fine.
