Fancy Friday: Funky Print and Tall Boots

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.


  • Chain bracelet - thrifted
  • Chain/leather bracelet - thrifted
  • "Striped" cuff - vintage 60s, Mom's
  • Chainmail necklace - vintage fair
  • Wooden ring - Dots
  • Klimt ring - consignment
  • Earrings - vintage 60s, Mom's


I couldn't find Vizzini this morning - I looked everywhere! I should have known....
"I'm prepping for a weekend of napping,Woman."

Oh, that sounds nice! Have a wonderful weekend, my friends! I'll be back on Sunday with tales of adventure.

  2. Oh, 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

    1. Thank 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!

      Thanks, my dear! I hope the mail doesn't take too long. :)

  4. Love 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.

    2. Thanks, 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!

    1. 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!
