Dress Week: Wine, Snoots and Snakes

Welcome back to Dress Week, my friends! I have a very simple, but awesome, dress for you today.
It's basically two pieces of wine-coloured red fabric and a bunch of snaps. 

  • Silk dress - Diane Von Furstenberg, consignment; last worn here in September 2022 with sporty boots
  • Snoots - Ivylee, consignment; last seen here in January with an office camo outfit

I'm still amazed that this was only $24.00 - it's a DVF, fer goodness' sake! 
Small cat, waiting at the door. 

It was another warm day, although as you can tell from the stair pic, it was windy out. 
I just wore this dress solo (I also have a cami on underneath), not even a coat. 

I like the brass snaps down the back and that the V doesn't show my bra. 
Small cat would like to go in the hall, please. 

Incognito. 
Cat is not going in the hall. Aw...

The stuff: 
I waggled my feet at my colleagues and introduced them to the word "snoots" (snakeskin boots). 

Snaky bling: 
Just a few bold favourites. 

  • Snake necklace - vintage 90s, vintage expo
  • Snake bracelet - Whiting & Davis, vintage 70s, vintage fair
  • Medallion bracelet - J. Crew, consignment
  • Brass Brutalist rings - vintage 70s, vintage mall
  • Earrings - Biko, consignment

I'm amused by my old Dress Weeks from back in the day - this one here is from September 2008. I still have and wear the rust cami, and the yellow fabric flower brooch is still hanging around.

  1. Enjoying both dresses from this week’s Dress Week! I appreciate the different vibes of each outfit, the comfort of wearing ‘just’ a dress, the accessories, the colorful pattern of Monday’s outfit, and the bold statement color of Tuesday’s choice. The DVF dress frames your back ink perfectly!

    Cheers,
    Laurie

    1. Thanks, Laurie! Yeah, it's rare for me to show my back ink, thanks for noticing. :) Hope you and Fred are doing well!

    2. Hi Sheila, thanks! So thrilled and overjoyed to share that Fred gets stronger day by day, the doctor says he appears (by sight and tests) to be coming along nicely, and Fred says he feels 7 out of 10. Indeed, he is doing well enough that Robin has concluded it is time for him to return to the PNW in early June. The next couple of breezes you feel will be the residue of my deep sighs!

  3. Oh gosh, Sheila. This is right up my street. What a fantastic dress. And with those fab boots. Love that you added a snake necklace with the snake boots.
    You look a million dollars.

  4. I really like the printed boots with this red dress! It is a stunning dress itself on you but the boots are such a fun addition. I've been wearing dresses and boots a bit too lately, it's finally started getting cooler here.
