Happy Friday, everyone!
I like saving a funky outfit for the end of the week.- Dress - Diane Von Furstenberg, consignment; purchased here for $25.00
- Boots - BCBG Max Azria; last seen here in February with lace and wings
- Coat (below) - Club Monaco, thrifted; last worn here in April
This outfit definitely falls into that category. It got an "Oooh!" from my coworker David.
That's a very funky pattern, for one thing.
It's a rather short skirt, so I like the tall boots to keep things looking semi-professional. It'll also look fabulous with red heels, but we'll save that for another time.
I like that the top half is a V-neck - it's a good neckline for me, although it tended to slide around from side to side and front-to-back. I'm wearing a black camisole under it so that you can't peek down to my waist!
I amused myself with the top.
Sorry, a bit blurry - I was talking to L as I took these.
Outerwear - the dress rode up a bit, but I'm wearing nylons, so not shocking.
I knew the coat would help keep me covered when I walked to and from work.
The stuff:
I usually keep a couple of pairs of boots out in my spring/summer wardrobe just for mixed weather days like today. These tall boots are awesome, nice and soft.
Gold bling:
I bet you didn't realize I had this much on, right? The funky print totally distracts from everything else.

I couldn't find Vizzini this morning - I looked everywhere! I should have known....

Oh, that sounds nice! Have a wonderful weekend, my friends! I'll be back on Sunday with tales of adventure.
What a stunning outfit -- just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks, Cynthia!
DeleteGreat outfit! Snazzy and stylish.
ReplyDeleteSnazzy! Love it! Thanks, Ally!
DeleteThat is such a fun dress on you and I love the top half paired with the more fitted bottom - it looks so good! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mica - I like this style too.
DeleteOh, that Diane Von Furstenberg dress looks utterly fabulous on you! I loved its print when you showed it after you'd bought it, but I couldn't work out how its shape would look when worn. Well, now I know, and it's stunning. Very, very funky, especially worn with those tall boots! I can perfectly envision it worn with red boots too. The coat and jewellery just add to the perfection. Have a wonderful weekend full of adventures, Sheila. Ooh, and a letter from you to look forward to! How exciting. It'll get here eventually, I'm sure. Much love xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ann! It's such a fun print, but yes, it's hard to see how it's going to look on the hanger. I love tall boots with a short skirt. Maybe red boots - I don't have a pair that's exactly right for this, hmmm, I think I need some!
DeleteThanks, my dear! I hope the mail doesn't take too long. :)
I adore Diane von Furstenberg and her designs. Love the kind a psychedelic print abs those boots are fabulous under it! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI know you do, Nancy! I think of you whenever I see something by her now. It's such a cool print. Thank you!
DeleteLove it, love it, love it. Your choice of boots is very good with this dress. I would of course, have worn this dress as a tunic on cigarette trousers.

If you ever get bored with it, sell it to me 😎😉.
DeleteThanks, Greetje! Ooh, yes, and it would look amazing on you. If/when I'm tired of this, it's yours - I would never sell to a friend!
DeleteThat dress is definitely a 10/10!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shelley!
DeleteThat definitely is a funky end-of-week outfit, Shiela! I didn’t notice the jewelerry, you’re right, I was too busy eyeing the pattern of your dress. X
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jess! Ha, I knew it!
DeleteFabulous and funky! Loved the tall boots with it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!

Thanks, Vronni, you too!
DeleteThat dress is utterly wonderful, such a gorgeous shape and the print is beyond fabulous. Love it with the boots, too.
ReplyDeleteHope you, L and Vizzini had the best weekend! xxx
Thank you so much, Vix! Same to you and your boyz.
DeleteWhat a sizzlingly chic, stylish and downright hot outfit! You look fabulous - and have honestly got me longing for a pair of over the knee boots now, which might just be a first. Swoon!

Thank you so much, Autumn! I love tall boots with a short skirt - they just seem to go together.
Deletewoww, that's a Funky print and you look really fab wearing this dress, such an amazing shape and coolness!. And you've styled it so brilliantly, love the boots!
ReplyDeletebesos
Thanks, Monica! I love the print on this dress.
DeleteI love those boots so much. They really make me miss mine!
ReplyDelete(If I buy new boots I'm totally blaming you...)
You can go ahead and blame me - I'm a total shopping enabler, Mim! I actually have found these boots to be SO useful in my wardrobe - they were a really good purchase, even though they weren't cheap. Do it!
DeleteI love the combination of that fun dress and those tall boots. The boots are gorgeous and they look very comfy.
ReplyDeleteThank you - yes, the boots are wonderful! I'll be sad when they wear out.
DeleteYou are looking sooo cool and hip here - I love this DVF dress and if I may add, your hair looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, my dear! I love the dress too. Gah, my hair is driving me nuts! I have a haircut scheduled for next week!
