PANK, Zebra and a Black Skirt

I was reminded with my pop of marigold yellow in yesterday's outfit how important it is to include colour in my ensembles. I always keep some brights out in my fall/winter wardrobe specifically with the purpose of cheering myself up through Colour Therapy. 

So today, we have...PANK. It's so pink...it's PANK. 

This wool moto jacket is one of my favourites in my closet. I adore the rock & roll cut of it, the thick wool, the matching pink satin lining and of course, that glorious colour. 

• Jacket - Gap, consignment, Vancouver; last worn here in November 2021 with pink and red
• Shirt - Yest; last seen here in December 2021, layered under mustard
• Bustier - Wrapper, vintage 90s, thrifted; first worn here in April 2021 with lemon and spots
• Skirt - Ronen Chen, thrifted; purchased here for $23.95
• Shoes - 5yMedio; last seen here in November 2021 with red plaid and wings
• Coat (below) - L'Atiste, consignment, Vancouver; last worn here a couple of weeks ago

This is the first wearing of this new-to-me black skirt by Ronen Chen. I had vague ideas to paint on it or decorate it when I first bought it, but those urges have passed. I like the sewn folds and tucks down the front - I felt like I was wearing a cocoon or some kind of carapace.

The skirt is too big on me, however, and I have a kajillion black skirts, so I'll likely put it in the giveaway pile for someone else to enjoy. No need to decide this minute.

I appear to have forgotten to do my back view picture. Ah, well. Use your imagination.

I matched my jacket and tights, and layered this funky zebra bustier over a basic white shirt. I didn't take the jacket off all day - it's part of the outfit - but I thought you might like to see it without.

The skirt portion of the outfit could be swapped for any black solid. I would wear this with my Adidas tulle skirt or my black leather pants, for example.

Masked up: 

You know I had to match the bustier since I have a zebra-striped mask. 

Outerwear: 

More black and white.

Accoutrements:

My pink set. 

• Fur boa - thrifted
• Cashmere beret - Club Monaco, thrifted
• Leather gloves - consignment

The stuff: 

I've realized I need a pair of black and white shoes. I've been peeking into the spring/fall Fluevog collection and there are some definite possibilities there (and gift cards to spend!). I love these white ones, though - they've been a good purchase so far. That's a really comfortable heel. 

Bold bling: 

And a couple of snakes and a cat, just for fun. 

• Necklace - Zsiska, gift from Mom
• Snake brooch - c. 1985, gift from Mom & Dad
• Wood cat pin - Charmaine's
• Snake ring - c. 1986, BC Museum Gift Shop
• Silver/onyx ring - Toccara, vintage fair
• Silver earrings - Israel, consignment
