Slanted Stripes and a Boring White Shirt

Time to wear this striped tank dress again! 
I love the bold slanted stripes. 

  • Shirt - Yest; last worn here (2nd outfit) in December 2022, layered under my $1000 sweater
  • Dress - Zara, consignment; last seen here in May 2022 with dotty bookends
  • Shoes - Zara, consignment; last worn here in October 2022 for Mom-Day at Elk Lake
  • Coat (below) - Mallia, consignment; last seen here in December 2022

I nearly wore my Kenzo black cardigan over this, but stuck with my boring white shirt. 
I would have been warmer while I worked at my desk in the mostly-empty office. 

My colleague Carol and I had some light fashion-y chit-chat. 
And co-tenant Gail and I gushed over the new Turnabout store while we shared the elevator. 

Masked up: 
Pattern mix! 

Outerwear: 
I liked how my stripes popped out of the coat as I walked. 

Accoutrements: 
This is one of my favourite scarves - Lanvin, so CLASSY! 

  • Scarf - Lanvin, vintage 80s, vintage mall
  • Beret - consignment
  • Gloves - thrifted
  • Mask - by Mom

The stuff: 
I forgot to pick shoes out last night, so defaulted to these chunky beauties. 

Silver bling: 
I've had the "teeth" necklace for ages.

  • Crystal heart cuff - Juicy Couture, consignment
  • Malachite/silver bangle - Mexican, thrifted
  • Silver/onyx ring - Tocara, vintage fair
  • Silver poison ring - Mexican, Karen's
  • Earrings - Glee
  • Necklace - The Bay, c. 2007

  1. That is such a great dress on you and I like the shirt layered under it :) It's nice you are able to chat fashion with the people in your office too - I miss those little watercooler chats with working from home so often, but when I'm back at work later this year I will hopefully be in the office more.

  2. Has it really been so long since we've see you in that gorgeous Zara dress?! love seeing the flash of fabulousness from beneath the coat. The shirt looks great but I get you, whenever I wear a white top I feel like I'm off on a waitressing job.
    Love the malachite bangle! xxx

  3. What a stunner that slanted striped Zara dress is. The white shirt might be boring in itself, but it's the perfect layering piece, and looks great with the dress. Swooning over your necklace and the malachite and silver bangle. Fantastic scarf too, very classy indeed! xxx

  5. Beautiful outfits! I love the picture of the Lanvin scarf with the hat resting on top of it. The pattern on the scarf is such that I can see two eyes, a nose, and a mouth directly under the brim of the hat.
