Totally profesh, but also my own personal whackitude. I saw a ton of my coworkers, some for the first time in three years and gave/received many hugs. And lots of compliments, especially on my hair matching my sweater.
I am amused that I've worn this cardigan with the same orange accessories here, in May 2021. I do like a good formula!
The dress is so pretty but not too twee even though the print is actually a floral.
The hemline has multiple godets (inserts for fullness) for extra swooshiness - you can see it's still a blur from me getting into place for the timer.
Without the cardigan, although I never took it off.
I usually only wear this dress once a year. It's a winner, though.
So many dresses, so little time!
Love this shape - tulip skirts always work well on me.
Incognito.
Sheila? Nope, haven't seen her.
The stuff:
The first time I wore these shoes, I played off the orange and blue. This time, I did orange and purple. I also walked 5 blocks to and from our meeting venue at a good clip and they were fantastic.
Orange and purple bling:
I'll be wearing both of these sets many times over the next few months. Get used to 'em!

I raced home after work and got changed to head back to town and join my chicks for a movie night. We went to see "Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret", which was an integral book (along with all the other Judy Blume books) in my young adulthood.
Comfy, but still stylin'.
- Jacket - Dolce & Gabbana menswear, consignment; last worn here in March with velvet faux
- Cashmere sweater - Prada, consignment; last seen here in April with paillettes and a pirate skirt

- Sneakers - Steve Madden, thrifted; last seen here (3rd outfit) in December 2022 for traveling in mink to a party
It got cloudier over the day and much cooler, after yesterday's balmy temps. A jacket is needed.
I layered a cashmere sweater underneath (and a cami under that).
The jacket is menswear, and I always boggle at the sheer number of pockets.
These trousers are stretchy and I love the green, cream and brown pattern.
They match my sweater!
I never took my jacket off.
I needed my accoutrements!
Movie theatres are so darned chilly.
Zipped up.
Ready to recline. I walked to town, then walked home with Cat and Yvonne partway.
Accoutrements:
Comfy shoes. I wore little fishnet socklets with them.
Silk scarves are warm.
- Purse - Rebecca Minkoff, consignment
- Scarf - Celine, thrifted
- Gloves - Danier
The stuff:
Delicate bling:
Lots of chains.
- Necklace/earrings - Plum
- Chain/leather bracelet - thrifted
- Gold bracelet - Dad's
And now, my friends, I'm off for the weekend. I'll be back on Sunday with tales of adventure. Maybe some cat pictures.
"You know what you need? More cat pictures."
Silly little bub. He's so glad to see me - look at those paws grabbing me. Have a great weekend, my friends! Thank you so much for stopping by!
Shelbee mentioned that movie too. I hope it will play here too. I had hoped to see that cardigan when you took it out of the giveaway pile last week, it's gorgeous! Love your movie night outfit a lot! Fabulous shoes.
ReplyDeleteI saw that film advertised at the cinema this afternoon, I loved Judy Blume as a kid! It looks brilliant.
ReplyDeleteYour stylised roses dress is a fabulous shape and those trousers look to be far better quality than the other garments on offer in the H&M/Morris & Co collab. Look at Vizzini's sweet face!
Have a fabulous weekend, my friend. xxx
That dress is gorgeous and looks fantastic on you. I love that the lavender wrap cardi almost exactly matches the colour of your hair. The shoes and orange bling couldn't have been more perfect with it. It's good to see the Jello-shot necklace again, I could never tire of that one!
ReplyDeleteLoving the H&M x Morris trousers combined with the posh Prada sweater too. I haven't been to a movie theatre in absolutely ages! xxx
I'm purring at the lavendar cardie-so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED "Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret"- "We must, we must, we must increase our bust!"
I do like all your orange accessories- the Fluevogs are really cool- like slices of orange!! The metallic trainers are really nice too!
Hugs to Vizzini!x
I really like your office outfit, the cardigan and dress are so good together and the orange accessories are fun :) I keep ogling your studded Rebecca Minkoff. There's one on ebay here that's from the same line but a different style and I keep looking at it. Haven't bid yet...but one can never have too many navy bags, and you always rock these studs! :)
ReplyDeleteLately my iPad hasn't been playing nice with comments, hence the delay in commenting. Your outfits from the prior post as well as this post all have me smiling. I like the individual pieces as well as how you paired them as outfits, plus the jewelry that accompanies each outfit.
ReplyDeleteNot only does everything look wonderful on you, but they also look quite comfortable. I know that when you (or I or anyone) feels comfortable in their clothing it has a positive impact on personal demeanor. It's also empowering.
Imagining you are enjoying a fabulous weekend (typing this on Sunday) with weekend weather as glorious as that which has arrived in New York!
Cheers, Laurie
