Red Jammy Dress and Brocade Boots

I so did not want to go to work today, and knew I'd be feeling listless, so you know I had to wear a dress. 

This new-to-me sparkly dress fit the bill. Jammy dress time!

• Dress - Sandwich, thrifted; purchased here on Saturday for $26.95
• Sleeveless sweater - Twik, thrifted; last seen here in January, layered under the teddy top
• Boots - Spring Step; first worn here with an orange mini in January
• Coat (below) - Topshop, consignment; last worn here a little over a week ago

While I love the nice fit and the gorgeous rich lipstick red colour (with sparkles!), this is not a winter dress.

It's a very thin cotton dress, not lined, and it rode up while walking to and from work. Very aggravating.

I layered the black sweater under it, which helped.

 But really, I have to put it in the spring/summer pile.

Barely awake, hands in pockets.

Outerwear - this coat didn't help the riding up part at all.

 I spent nearly every second of my walk yanking down the hem.

I wore it zipped up in the morning, but the sun was shining on the way home.

 Feels like spring, but it's still quite cold.

• Gloves - Cejon, thrifted

The stuff:

I adore these boots - they had lots of fans all day at work.

Gold bling:

The Ambush set also had admirers - they are very heavy.

• Cuff/necklace - Ambush, consignment, Vancouver, gifts from L
• Earrings - consignment
• Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes

Vizzini disappeared - I found him burrowed under our down comforter on the bed.

"I'll come out when it's Friday."

I hear ya, buddy!
