Jammy dress time!
- Dress - Little Moon, consignment; purchased here for $49.99
- Shoes - Cardinal Super Fine, Fluevog; last worn here (3rd outfit) in December 2019 for a Christmas party with a striped lame (lah-MAY!) dress
- Coat (below) - Denny Rose, consignment; last seen here in December 2019
I had a lot of people tell me I looked like Chinese New Year due to the vibrant red with gold accents.
"My brother and Mom do," I said, "My husband calls me 'My Little Dragon' before my first coffee." Actually, many of my friends (and L too) call me She.
I loved wearing this wonderful bright dress today - the rows of ruffles down the front and back.
Outerwear - it was clear and cold again this morning, but it definitely was above 10 C on the way home.
- Scarf - Danier, thrifted
- Gloves - Cejon, thrifted
The stuff:
Gold bling:
- Bracelet - Butler Fifth Avenue Collection, consignment
- Necklace - Robert Larin, vintage 70s, gift from L
- Amber ring - c. 1996
- Gold earrings - 5th anniversary gift from L
She who must be obeyed!
ReplyDeleteI love a good jammy dress. A jammy dress that looks like a dressy dress is a very good thing indeed.
Lol, it's like you know me, Mim! ;-P
DeleteI so agree! Here's to jammy dresses!
That dress is a joy to behold! I love it with the gold shoes of wonder and that gem of a pendant.
ReplyDeleteL calling you "My Little Dragon" is hilarious. Jon's not a morning person either and I drive him mad singing and dancing round the bedroom when I bring his mug of tea upstairs! xxx
I was so happy with it, Vix. I love the pendant too - this is my second Robert Larin piece, and I'd like to get more.
DeleteI know, he's playing off Basil Fawlty calling Sybil his little dragon. Jon, I'm with you on that morning madness!
Sweet! You have the coolest clothes.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ally!
DeleteMy first thought was Hello Magazine. There is a very royal feel about this dress!
ReplyDeleteOh, you are a dear, thank you, Nana! Megan now lives just north of my city!
DeleteWow, what a stunner of a dress, Sheila! It's jammy and dressy at the same time, too. Pleats, ruffles and pockets: what more can a girl want? The gold shoes and bling - and especially that magnificent pendant! - are perfect with it. Certainly very happiness inducing! Would love to have some clear and cold days, as opposed to all the miserable rain. Ha, I love it that L. calls you My Little Dragon :-) I used to be very much a morning person, but lately I'm certainly not at my best first thing. xxx
ReplyDeleteIsn't it lovely, Ann? I'm so pleased with it. Our weather here's been so mercurial lately - typical spring.
DeleteI have never been a morning person, my mom will attest to that!
Gorgeous! And the accessories too! Especially bthe shoes! Golden shoes.....oh sigh! I am searching for perfect golden ankle boots for ages!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nancy! I would love a pair of gold ankle boots too.
Deletewoww, I do love a Red Dress and yours is stunning!, love all the pleats and ruffles and the magnificent accessorizing: the shoes and coat!
ReplyDeletebesos
Thank you so much!
DeleteLooove your unintentional Chinese New Year look – red and gold just go marvelously together.
ReplyDeleteHow funny that L calls you ‘my little dragon’ before your first coffee. You must be feisty in the morning! X
They really do - it's a favourite combo of mine. Thanks, Jess.
DeleteHee, yes, I'm rather cranky, to put it mildly, especially in the face of someone being all cheery like L is.
How do you always find such perfect coats to go along your colourful outfits? I absolutely love that red dress paired with golden shoes. The golden necklace is fantastic as well. You're right about this look having Chinese New Year vibes- I love that.
ReplyDeleteThe little dragon thing made me smile. I'm a much sweeter person after I had my morning coffee too.
I have a big collection, and I look for interesting ones that will work with my clothes! Thank you so much, Ivana! Hee, there are a few of us dragons out there, it seems!
DeleteThe dress is such a yummy shade of red! I am not a morning person either, and I can't have caffeine, so it takes me longer to wake up than most people.
ReplyDeleteI would be a BEAST without caffeine! Thanks so much!
DeleteGlorious! You look amazing in your new jammy dress! I think this might become a new fave She. I call yo She too.
ReplyDeleteAll my good friends call me She. :) Thanks so much, Lorena! It's a new fave of mine too!
