I was tired last night and didn't feel like making much of an effort in my outfit planning. What are ya gonna do?
Wear a dress!- Burnt orange dress - no label, thrifted; first worn here (2nd outfit) to meet John Fluevog in September
- Shoes - Entrance, Room 502, Fluevog; last seen here when I was a purple fairy in March
- Coat (below) - BCBG Max Azria, thrifted; last worn here in April with Big Boss Lady Pants
Today was a "white" day - mostly overcast, but bright. The faint clouds were tinged pink, as the morning sun hit the Castle.
The trees in my 'hood are all shades from yellow, to orange, to red. So pretty!
Although I wore this dress in the spring/summer season, I think it might be an all-year one.
The burnt orange colour is squarely autumnal.
Aren't the tights fun? I've worn them with these shoes before (with my PANK dress here).
I have no idea if patterned tights are in right now (probably not) but I don't care.
This is me not caring, and feeling fabulous.
Such an easy outfit!
I like jazzing up my outerwear outfit. This coat doesn't get worn too often, as it's just a cloth coat with a thin cotton edging and yoke.
It also has short sleeves, so those are my dress' sleeves hanging out.
With my new-to-me scarf on - doesn't it match perfectly?
Another fun pink, orange and purple pattern. It was super soft and snuggly.
- Beret - consignment
- Scarf - V. Fraas, thrifted; purchase here on the weekend for $5.95
- Leather gloves - Danier
The stuff:
I feel like Prince when I wear these shoes. They are perfectly balanced and very comfy to wear.
Multicoloured bling:
And the necklace matched too! My matchy-matchy heart was happy.
- Necklace - thrifted
- Earrings - Plum
- Amber ring - c. 1996
- Gold/amethyst ring - Frances Jewelers, c. 1965, Dad's
The Velma look..Like it
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteYour low-effort days are much better than my high-effort ones! That colour is sure to cheer up everyone's day.
ReplyDeleteSome days, you just need a dress. It cheered me up, that's for sure.
DeleteThe castle's looking magnificent and so are you! I love that dress and those purple shoes were a perfect choice. x
ReplyDeleteAlthough a mite blurry, Vix! Thank you!
DeleteYay for no energy and low effort days, as those are the days we can wear our jammy dresses! And what a delightful one this is. The shape and colour are both perfect. And how brilliant do those patterned tights, colourful necklace and purple shoes are with it. I'm pretty sure patterned tights must be a thing, as I've bought a pair of floral one in a retail shop yesterday! xxx
ReplyDeleteGawds, yes, Ann. Ooh, I wonder if I'm "on trend" again?
DeleteSo pretty outside!! Loving those tights and that scarf!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Becky!
DeleteWhat a view from your house! So relaxing. Love the tights.
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish, Nancy. That's just from the outside stairwell, zoomed in.

Thank you, Monica! I love how tights can elevate a look.
DeleteA great orange dress - man, you can't go wrong with this! And yes, patterned tights are indeed a current trend, but heck you don't give a damn do you? Such a cute, funky ensemble in the last shot. You inspire me x
ReplyDeleteNope, gotta love a funky solid-colour dress. Oh, they're in again? Wonderful, I'll buy up a bunch for the next stretch. No, I don't really care! Thanks so much, Anna, aw, that's awesome.
DeleteWhen you're energy is low, there's nothing like a big splash of citrus to wake you up.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! We need colour at this time of year - it's so dark out!
DeleteImagine IF THIS is your not making an effort look :)
ReplyDeleteThe tights made my heart skip a beat!
It really is! You know I go to dresses when I'm stumped.
