Funky Friday: Vintage Maxi Skirt and Green Bookends

Back to work today - and now it's the weekend. Time just flies! 

Funky Friday time! Of course I wanted to wear this maxi skirt right away, and I hadn't yet worn these shoes this season (how??), and look how well they bookend the turtleneck. It's a match made in fashion heaven. 

I chatted more with people in the elevator today than I did with colleagues. I've started giving compliments to every person I see wearing colour. Maybe it will encourage people to dress up more? It certainly made the gent in the mustard yellow sweater happy. 

• Sweater - Tabi, thrifted; last worn here in December 2020 with my peacock coat
• Skirt - Hooper, vintage 60s, thrifted; purchased here for $19.99
• Shoes - Half Truth Tanya, Fluevog; last seen here in September 2020 (Flashback on them there)
• Coat (below) - Danier, consignment; last worn here in November 2020

I'd misplaced this green cotton sweater, and tore apart my meticulously-folded sweater shelves - it had slipped down behind some others. Phew!

I considered wearing an orange sweater, but I really like how the green of the shoes and the sweater complement the bold pattern of the skirt. Bookends are such an easy way to make an outfit cohesive.

I have a dark orange vintage slip under this to smooth things out and provide a bit of warmth, and I also have nylons on. 

All those layers! The lining of the skirt developed slight static issues over the day, but not of the irritating variety. The bottom button undid on me once, but otherwise it was awesome to wear. 

I'll probably keep the skirt out for summer - I have a lot lime, orange, white and red in my warm season wardrobe. 

Can't you imagine this unbuttoned more with sandals and bare legs? Ah, I can't wait! 

Masked up - I really wanted an orange mask, but I don't have one that doesn't have spiders on it.

Hopefully, I won't still be matching masks to my outfits this time next year. 

Outerwear - hooray, an opportunity to break out the spring leather! It's Leather Weather time! 

I tied my Lanvin vintage scarf at my neck so you could read the name. I don't usually like any brand advertising showing on my clothes, but I make an exception for the Klassy Designers. 

Fingerless gloves in red - it's still very chilly in the mornings. 

I didn't need them on the lovely walk home with the sun on my face! Yay, sun! 

Outerwear stuff: 

I'm looking forward to swapping my accessories as well as my clothes over - it's happening soon. 

• Scarf - Lanvin, vintage 70s, consignment
• Gloves - Parkhurst
• Mask - by Mom

The stuff: 

A casualty of me not wearing three instead of five outfits a week to work, these shoes have been neglected this season. I'm sorry, shoes, I still love you! 

Matchy bling: 

I liked that Mom's belt matched the era of the skirt. 

• Belt - vintage 70s, Mom's
• Necklace - Banana Republic, consignment
• Brutalist brass ring - vintage 70s, vintage mall
• Amber ring - c. 1996
• Gold bracelet - thrifted, Sidney
• Bangle - thrifted

My colleague in Edmonton, Monica, loved my Jell-O Shot Necklace - she spotted it on our Teams call. 

Well, my friends, I'm off to enjoy a quiet weekend with my guys. I'll be back on Sunday with tales of adventure. Be kind, be calm and stay safe! Thanks so much for stopping by.
