Pink, and Studded Black Flashback

Today, I just needed pink. 

Your eyes do not deceive you - that is a really bright pink. Not quite PANK, but nearly! 

• Dress - InWear; first worn here for a birthday brunch with L in June
• Shoes - Sam Edelman, thrifted; last seen here with a leopard suit in August
• Coat (below) - Stop Staring!, thrifted; last worn here in May

Pockets full of hands. 

I'd originally planned to wear my new-to-me silver/black leather belt with this outfit (this one), but when I put the belt on, it was too big. Whoops, it's a hip belt. I forgot.

My big studded metal/leather belt filled in perfectly. 

I felt very badass with all my studs. 

And my colourful pink armour felt very secure. 

Masked up - another one of Mom's masks. 

I love having a wardrobe of them! 

Coated up - we are back to cool mornings, although it's forecast to be hot (up to 26 degrees!) this week. 

I'm wearing a vintage 80s silk scarf - it's the first time I've worn it since I bought it here in May 2019! You can look at the whole scarf here (it's very cool).

I'm happy to be delving back into my coats and outerwear - we have maybe another 6 weeks of warm-ish weather before I have to swap out my light coats for my heavy ones in the coat closet. 

I was tickled by the flashes of pink as I walked to and from work. 

The stuff: 

This will likely be the last wearing of these shoes before I pack them away for the season. I don't like flats with open heels in winter. We will have a short Flashback on them in a minute. 

Silver bling: 

All of my jewelry is meant to go with my new-to-me belt, not this one. 

• Belt - BCBG Max Azria, consignment
• Silver cuff - Karen's
• Shield ring - Nine West
• Silver/onyx ring - Tocarra, vintage fair
• Earrings - thrifted

Flashback: Sam Edelman Studded Ankle-Strap Flats (Black)

Although I haven't had these shoes for very long, they've quickly become a favourite in my summer wardrobe. I picked them up on one of my weekend shopping expeditions at the big Women In Need store here in April 2019, marked down to $9.95.

They are leather, and those little studs are metal. I love that badassery! 

I wore them right away (as I often do) in April 2019, with a familiar outfit (the flamingo top had a Flashback).

They are excellent walking shoes or for wearing to work when I want flats. I wore them here for a hangout at the pub with our friends. 

A work outfit in May 2019.

We saw this outfit in the leather pants Flashback.

And this outfit from July 2019 also might ring a few bells.

We saw it in the skirt's Flashback! To review any Flashback, you can click on the "Flashback" tab on the top of the main page - garments are sorted by type (so this will be filed under the skirts, for example). 

Here's another outfit you might remember from this amazing skirt's Flashback, as worn in August 2019.

If you're counting, that's 4 wearings in the first season of having these shoes - excellent.

Which brings us to 2020, and specifically, April, when I wore this outfit to go visit Mom during lockdown.

So fun! I should wear those pants again before I pack them away for 6 months.

I wore this in June 2020, when the Winesday Women said goodbye to Karen.

I spy some Clothing as Armour.

And here's the last time I wore them, to walk to town to meet with Jen for dinner in August.

I love this entire look.


Mathy stuff: Although I haven't had these shoes for very long, they have still been a solid purchase. I've worn them 8 times so far, and that brings us to $1.24 per wear. I'll update this Flashback in a couple of years and see how well they are doing then!
