Clothing As Armour to the rescue!

- Shoes - Prepare 2.0 Tracker, Fluevog; last seen here in October 2021 for brunch

This is its 3rd wearing and I chose to accessorize this time with more black and bits of red.
I'm wearing thick sweater tights, and a full vintage slip under it for extra warmth.
Masked up.
And I wore double outerwear.
I really wanted to wear my new-to-me poncho, but it's too cold to wear it on its own, so I layered it over my thermal Danier leather jacket.
I was able to wear my usual black leather backpack under this, although it was awkward sitting on the bus.
I took the ear-muffs off later, as they fought with my headphones.
Music wins. I really liked the pattern-mixing of this full ensemble.
Accoutrements:
Easy shoes for walking from the bus to the periodontist office. I treated myself to a Vogue magazine while I sat in the office and waited for my happy pill to kick in.
A silk scarf for protecting my neck.

My freezing is starting to wear off, and I'm feeling sleeeeepy...*yawn* See y'all later...
It's my turn next week....What a fantastic gloves, so very elegant. And that poncho is very nice to especially the closure at the front!
ReplyDeleteI like the tartan and stripes mix too, the red is so nice with the black and white stripes! You've got me thinking, I have a black and white striped tee dress and I don't think I've ever worn it with red yet! Need to try change that!
ReplyDeleteStriped dress, red boots, fab poncho - oh my, you look absolutely gorgeous! X
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is superb! I hope the periodontist appointment was equally successful. The dress is a perfect jammy dress and I am always a fan of red highlights/accessories. Laughing, though, at your use of the word "easy" when describing walking in these boots, even as I presume it was a fairly short walk from the bus stop to the periodontist's office. I know, the shoes aren't really as high on the inside as they look on the outside, but still!
ReplyDeleteHere's to a comfy winding down from the treatment and in hopes you awoke after a sound night's sleep!
Hope the clothing as armur worked its magic for you X
ReplyDeleteThe stripes and tartan is a brilliant combination, I love it.
ReplyDeleteHope you're okay and had a lovely sleep. Still no non-emergency dental appointments avaiable here, it's been 2 years since I last saw one! xxx
I bet clothing as armour was a bare necessity for your periodontist appointment, and I also bet that you're glad it's over with for another 5 months!
ReplyDeleteThat striped dress with its dropped waist looks absolutely fabulous on you, and I love its interaction with the tartan poncho. Gorgeous bling too, I'm loving the necklace in particular.
I hope you had a nice sleep. I'm feeling quite sleepy too in the aftermath of my booster. The same thing happened two days after I got my second one. It'll be early zzzs for me today! xxx
Fabulous necklace!
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit and what a good idea to wear the poncho over your coat...
Hope all went well!

Love the cape; it’s fabulous.
ReplyDeleteGreat that you can get wear out of it by layering.
Hope the armour made your visit easier.
My dental check up is tomorrow morning..now what shall I wear..
Xx
I love your black, white and red ensemble, and it does look very comfortable and practical for a day in the periodontist's office. These are colors that are meant to go together, and just "spark" together.
ReplyDeleteI "discovered" how fabulously red and black combine in outfits when I was in junior high--half a century ago, for goodness sake. I remember thinking how very original I was, not realizing there was a wider world of fashion, lol. Sadly, I also remember being teased (or was it criticized!) about this combination--I was told that only "cheap" girls or even prostitutes wore red and black together. Ugh. So not true, and so misogynist, I realized as an adult. I proudly wear red and black together whenever I want, of course!
Very versatile dress but the plaid cape takes the cake for me in this post. How clever to wear it over you leather jacket.

What a gorgeous striped look...and I love those shoes!
ReplyDeleteThe stripes and plaid look very cool together. Hope the dental visit was bearable.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic outfit! I adore the subtle 1920s vibe that both the drop waist and overall length of this awesome stripped dress (which I would wear faster than one could say "Beetlejuice" :D) telegraphs.
