Right, back to work today...for 5 hours, and then off I went to my every-4-month periodontist appointment. Not my favourite thing.
- Velvet blazer - Talbots, thrifted; last worn here in November 2019 with dragon scales
- Blouse - Renuar, thrifted; last worn here with Helmut Lang in October 2019
- Blanket skirt, thrifted, Powell River - purchased for $4.99 here on the weekend
- Boots - Rockport, thrifted; last seen here in December 2019 with leather and faux fur
- Leather trenchcoat (below) - vintage 70s, thrifted; last worn here last week
Cocoon for protection from the cold (brr! going outside after 36 hours indoors), protection from negative work energy, and protection from having my mouth poked and prodded.
It was so soft - I felt like I was wearing a sleeping bag!
Long skirts can be tricky to style - I like a belted blazer to break things up.
The stuff:
Armour bling:
- Belt - Pringle of Scotland, vintage fair
- Silver/wood earrings - consignment, Powell River (a different trip!)
- Feather ring - Fossil, thrifted
- Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes
And now...my freezing is wearing off, and I need to sleep. Vizzini, will you come and keep me company?

I love what you did with the blanket skirt; you made it elegant! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nana! It would have been easier to make it casual, but it was perfect for the periodontist appointment.
DeleteWhat a great way to wear this skirt, I really like the belted blazer with it! :) Hope you get some good rest after your appointment! I was at the dentist today, ugh!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mica! I liked the extra detail of belting it. Aw, you get it - ugh to dentists.
DeleteOh, I love that skirt and it looks great with the blazer. I wish I could belt things in the middle but I always look like a sack of spuds...never mind I can enjoy looking at you in your belted velvet blazer!

You have such a great figure, Vronni! You look awesome in fitted tops, but if belting doesn't work, it just doesn't work. Glad you can enjoy mine. Thank you!
DeleteOh, that must have been horrible, not only going back to work after a relaxing break, but having to go to your periodontist as well. At least you were dressed for comfort: a soft skirt which felt like wearing a blanket sounds like just the ticket. I love the look of a long straight-ish skirt with a belted jacket. And what a belt it is! Hope you had a good night's rest, ready to face another day. Almost weekend! xxx
ReplyDeleteI actually planned it that way - my office needs to be able to function without me. Now I'm good until June, thank goodness.
DeleteThis outfit was pure cocoon, from the soft velvet to the plush skirt. Lots of sleep was had, thank you, my dear!
I'm head-over-heels in love with your gorgeous cocoa brown blazer.
ReplyDelete♥ Autumn
Thanks, Autumn, isn't it lovely? It's so soft...
DeleteLove the cocoon of protection outfit. Sometimes it’s just one of those days.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am eyeing your brown boots! Perfection plus brown goes with everything.
Hope your teeth/gums are feeling better. X
Absolutely, Jess. Clothing that gives me comfort is just as valuable to me as clothes that "shield" me mentally from the world.
DeleteThank you! One more day and my mouth will be better.
Great idea to dress up for comfort to deal with medical appointment And Work!, you make this skirt looks pretty elegant and cool, so fab accessorizing (wow, the belt and bijouterie! and those boots!)
ReplyDeleteGlad that they give you all the good drugs!, no pain! (even if you were all drowsy!)
besos
Thanks so much! I often find these massive skirts tricky for styling.
DeleteI definitely need the drugs (and full mouth of freezing). I'll take the drowsy side effects!
What a stylish way to dress against the cold. That printed maxi skirt is gorgeous. I love the heels boots you wore with it. The brown blazer is a great piece too, it looks great belted. Fantastic coat as well. You look stunning dear!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Ivana. I really liked how this outfit worked out.
DeleteWhat a good outfit: I would wear that in a heartbeat. Too bad I don't have your size or you could sell it to me when you are done with it. The boots and belt are indeed stellar.
ReplyDeleteVizzini is such a comfort(ing) cat.
Greetje
Ha! Thank you so much, Greetje! If you were closer, I would just give you the pieces when I was done with them.
DeleteHe is...purr therapy is excellent.
the draw-back of blogging friends. They are all over the world.
DeleteTotally! There is a chance I'll be in Europe (Berlin, Belgium, Netherlands) in 2021 - we should go shopping!
DeleteNooooo to the dentist! aghrghrgh! Yes to furry skirts and belts! I love all the tactile elements. And Vizzini's welcome to sleep on my bed too any time!x
ReplyDeleteI hate going to the dentist, but the periodontist is worse. :( Thank you! I had my nice cocoon of clothes, followed by purr therapy from Vizzini.
DeleteOooo, look at those white Vizzini toes! I wasn't sure about that skirt when I saw it in your previous post but I do like how you've styled it here. I have to go to the dentist this week to get a mold taken for a new night guard (I've mostly chewed through my old one).
ReplyDeleteI call that his "turkey leg", hee hee. I know, it's a challenging piece - it needs a lot of extra oomph to make it work. Ugh, good luck with your appointment.
DeleteI've had some dental work done and will have more done this week and the last day I was there I thought "OH Sheila would not enjoy this".
ReplyDeleteOh, I sure would not! I hope it wasn't too bad for you - lots of good drugs? :)
