New Snoots and Yellow Armour

I knew this morning would be rough, so I dressed appropriately. YELLOW.
It's the colour I wear when I'm at my very lowest. I needed my Clothing as Armour to keep me calm as I powered through all 190 emails (from a mere 2 days off). 

  • Dress - Lida Baday, vintage 90s, vintage fair; last worn here in November 2021
  • Boots - Ivylee, consignment; purchased here for $54.95
  • Coat (below) - L'Atiste, consignment, Vancouver; last seen here a couple of weeks ago

It took me most of the day to deal with everything that happened while I was off. 
It was a head-down kind of day. I was glad of the yellow. 

It was the perfect match for my new Snoots. What are Snoots? Snakeskin boots! 
I know there are a few other bloggers out there with Snoots. 

I loved wearing these, although I didn't do much standing or moving around.
I love the wide ankles - they make my legs look even more slim and shapely. 

Masked up: 
Deploying the pockets. I wore a camisole under this for warmth. 

Outerwear. This was fine in the morning, but it was a frigid -1 on the way home. 
Snow is in the forecast for the week. Ugh. 

Accoutrements:
That brooch is living on the toque. 

  • Toque - gift from Tammy
  • Brooch - Monet, vintage fair
  • Scarf - Pierre Cardin, vintage 80s, thrifted
  • Mask - by Mom
  • Gloves - Parkhurst

The stuff: 
When I had sandals in this print/pattern, I could not find anything to wear with them - we shall see if these Snoots fare better. 

Brass bling: 
Bold pieces. 

  • Brass/leather cuff - vintage 70s, Mom's
  • Slashed brass cuff - Midzo, vintage expo
  • Brutalist rings - vintage 70s, vintage mall
  • Earrings - thrifted

  3. I've got snoots too, and I love wearing them with clashing patterns!
    Love yours with mood-enhancing yellow. Hearing you on those 190 emails, ploughing through them is relentless, isn't it? No wonder you needed clothing as armour!
    I hope the rest of your week isn't too strenuous! xxx
