Leopard Limbs and the Hated Dress

Woo, it's Monday! Why am I so surprised? 

Time for this fuzzy velveteen dress to get worn! 

• Turtleneck - Jacob, thrifted; last worn here (2nd outfit) as one of my layers for our December 2022 trip to Powell River
• Blouse - Planet, consignment; last seen here in March 2022 with orange Boss Pants
• Dress - Magic Yous, consignment; purchased here for $50.00
• Booties - Coffee Kope Tiam, Fluevog 2011; last worn here in February 2022 with snake print pants (which I also let go of)
• Coat (below) - Mallia, consignment; last seen here a couple of weeks ago

I loved this dress (as opposed to L who is the hater in the title, heh), as did my colleagues. I like the texture, the column shape, the oddly stiff fabric - somehow it works for me. 

I intend it to be a vehicle for a lot of "bookmarking" (matching shoes and top), so here it is with leopard. 

I layered a long-sleeved sparkly viscose turtleneck under the blouse for extra warmth - more snow flurries today! 

Finally getting in a wearing of this long-loved leopard blouse. It's the last month of my fall/winter closet season, and I still have stuff I haven't worn yet! 

I liked the way my limbs matched.

My ankle booties blend into the tights, but they are leopard.

Dressed for wind, snow, cold. The usual.

I was snuggly warm. I had a bit of Velvet Rage on the way home (Dress Vs. Coat), but none when walking to work. Noted for future coat pairings with the Hated Dress.  

Accoutrements: 

Warm things.

• Scarf - vintage, thrifted
• Toque - gift from Tammy

The stuff: 

These booties have been in my closet going on 12 years. 

Bold brass bling: 

I love my chunky jewelry.

• Necklace - consignment
• Spiky bracelet - Midzo, vintage expo
• Brass/leather cuff - vintage 70s, Mom's
• Earrings - vintage mall
