Saturday's brunch outfit features one of my favourite dresses.
The folks at the Ruby enjoyed my dress.
We had a delicious brunch and caught up with Nick and Chris.
Groceries after.
And then a quiet afternoon of board games.
I pulled my hair out of the way to show off the back cut-out on this amazing dress.
No need for bra shenanigans!
Incognito.
We weren't out for very long and I didn't feel like sunblock.
Parasol to the rescue.
Accoutrements:
That's the best $10 I've ever spent - this bamboo/paper parasol has been with me for close to a decade.
- Purse - Roots 73, consignment
- Parasol - Chinatown
The stuff:
The most-worn shoes I own. Such a fabulous aqua.
Silver bling:
Chunky!
- Etched silver cuff - thrifted, Powell River
- Steel cuff - thrifted
- Silver earrings - Brenda Schoenfeld, 1992
- Silver balls ring - Sidney
- Silver/turquoise ring - Glee
After a long evening of playing board games, I got ready on Sunday to go to Book Club at Mindy's house.
Time for another dress! My blue toile ruffled dress has been a firm favourite over the past 3 years.
It's just a straight up and down tube of tiers.
I have bare legs - another hot day! - but have sporty shorts on underneath.
I have little footie nylons on to keep my toes from rubbing.
It's like wearing pajamas.
Hence, Jammy Dresses!
Incognito.
Cat walked over and Cat picked us up, with Janaki, and drove us all to Mindy's.
Accoutrements:
Not much needed.
- Purse - Rebecca Minkoff, thrifted
- Prescriptions sunglasses
The stuff:
Multi-coloured bling:

We discussed "Sharks in the Time of Saviors" by Kawaii Strong Washburn, which we all loved. Another winner! Great selection, Janaki!
And now, my friends, off to chill with whatever's left in my weekend. Thank you so much for dropping by!
Love the bubble dress! I have said so before. I gasp whenever I see it :) Those blue platforms are a stylish match. A modern 60's vibe. Re the taupe bag, I find that colour bag so versatile. You have a great specimen there. I like the tube ruffle dress too. I am not normally into ruffles but this is such a cool unusual tubular shape. Fab!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I was confused about the taupe bag - you must mean the grey one I wore to Book Club? I dislike taupe as a colour, lol, but never say never! Thanks so much, Anonymous Commenter.
DeleteBOTH dresses are perfect! The length, cuts, and coolness factor - cool for the style and pattern, cool for a hot summer’s day. Simply perfect! I’m ogling them both. :)
ReplyDeleteAppreciating your chunky accessories for your brunch outfit, including the shoes. The dress has me realizing I need more summer dresses of similar cut and length as the one you are wearing. One and done for summer fun, the style mantra of a summer jammy dress. ;)
Cheers, Laurie
Thank you, Laurie! One-and-done dresses are so easy - they're comfortable, they look great, and you really don't need much to make yourself look fab!
DeleteYour Marjorie Hamilton dress is such a stunner, it's instantly making me happy just looking at it. No wonder it got so much love at the Ruby!
ReplyDeleteI think I need one of those parasols, though. I saw some at yesterday's flea market but I was too busy selling to do much buying ...
The ruffled dress is gorgeous as well, and perfect for a hot day!
I'm loving my jammy dresses too :-) xxx
It makes me happy too - such a great pattern/colours. I adore my parasol - I hope you find one! Glad to hear you had a busy day selling! Thanks so much!
DeleteThat bubble dress is so NOW again. It suits you like a T. Love the blue shoes with it.
ReplyDeleteGreetje
Ha, funny how things come around. Thanks, Greetje!
DeleteThat bubble dress may be one of my favorite looks on you ever - and I've been lurking for a decade 😂 The print, the vibe, and the simplicity of the cut. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for de-lurking, Kymmco! I so appreciate that you've been reading for so long!
DeleteI'm always happy to see the bubble dress, the cheeky back cut-out is the icing on the cake! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt was such a lucky find!
DeleteYou have so many beautiful dresses! I love the accessories with each of them, of course the Rebecca Minkoff mini mac with the tiered dress, but also how perfectly those shoes match the bubble dress! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the Weekday Wear Link up :)
What a funky dress!
ReplyDeleteI like the one with ruffles as well.
