Nothing new here, just a remix of a few things in my closet and jewelry collection.
- Dress - Trina Turk, consignment; last worn here in June 2022 with these same sneakers for a Mom-Day at Colquitz River Park
- Sneakers - Steve Madden, thrifted; last seen here in July for a Flouncy Friday
- Jacket (below) - Dolce & Gabbana menswear, consignment; last worn here in June with mustard ruffles and black satin
It's also made in the US, and the lining has a deep hem of black lace which peeked out when I was sitting at my desk.
It's just a great jammy dress. Peak Jammy!
I am wearing nylons, full disclosure.
This dress is rather short, and they gave me a sense of security, as well as covering up my veiny, speckled and scarred legs. That skin has seen things!
Incognito.
I wanted sun coverage for my walk commute, plus this jacket has a kajillion pockets. Of course it does - it's made for men. Sigh.
The stuff:
I have not achieve Peak Sneaker yet, but these will certainly do for now. Black, white, metallic, copper, comfy!
Copper bling:
Black and white clothes make a good backdrop for my copper bits.
The new black cuff was made for this dress! Loved it.

The new black cuff was made for this dress! Loved it.
The bottom is cut on the bias.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is.
DeleteBlack and white jammy dress, perhaps among the easiest patterns to style. I checked out the designer’s website and Oo La La her clothes are not inexpensive, so super to find this dress in one of your “wee” shops.
ReplyDeleteInteresting comment about pockets in men’s jackets…I have long thought that boys clothing was better made than girls, my focus being on outfitting young children. We didn’t have girls but comparing notes with others it seemed like boys clothes were made for rough and tumble wear but not so for girls. Back in the 80s and early 90s I did bemoan that the vibrant colors and patterns tended to be for girls but not boys. Boys clothing had durability; girls clothing had pizzazz!
Cheers, Laurie
Yes, Trina Turk is not cheap, which is why I leapt at this for I think it was $52? Especially for made in the US!
DeleteOh, there are definitely different standards for boys/girls - it's absolutely gendered. You're right about the pizzazz, though - L often bemoans how hard it is to find bright and colourful and funky things for men.
You’d think there would be a market for a budding designer to make their niche in colorful and interesting menswear.
DeleteYou would think that! I guess there are not that many men who want to "peacock" like L does.
DeleteLove this dress and would wear it in a heartbeat. I don’t know about not reaching the peak in trainers they are great but I know you like to keep seeking to upgrade this outfit looks so funky, yes for a jammy dress Shazx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shaz! The trainers aren't great quality, and I would love to have a pair of really funky Adidas ones.
DeleteThat's a fabulous dress. I love the jacket too. The sneakers are so pretty. They look like a mix between sneakers and shoes...I just love that.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ivana! Yes, that's what I love about these - and that's the goal for my potential Upgrade!
DeleteI love this dress, and how you styled it with a sporty jacket. I am also warming up to more sporty looks but they must be funky too. Could it be you are influencing me? ;) Lise
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lise! Ha ha, I'm definitely rubbing off on you. I like sporty/funky looks - it's good to let yourself go where your whims take you!
DeleteI do love those sneakers and the jammy dress is great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kezzie!
DeleteThat's a fab dress, Sheila, and definitely a winner if it's got pockets as well! I'm loving the sneaker and copper bling with it. I do hope your colleagues were duly impressed! xxx
ReplyDeleteI know, it's a gorgeous piece, isn't it, Ann? Thank you! My colleagues are so used to me, they barely look at my outfits. I have to point things out!
DeleteNice !
ReplyDeleteGreetje
Thank you!
DeleteI've not posted an everyday outfit photo in an age but I wore a 1960s psych mini dress with trainers and one of my floral Adidas trakkie tops to go swimming the other day - great minds think alike! xxx
ReplyDeleteOh, that sounds like a fab outfit, Vix!
DeleteI love a metallic sneaker. Copper's great. It works with all precious metals. xxx
ReplyDeleteMe too! I mix all my metals!
DeleteAlways lovely to see your copper jewellery, so fab pieces. And love how they match your sneakers and b&w dress fabulously!. Totally agree that black&white rocks!.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the 'not achieve Peak Sneaker yet', so important to find that Perfect Pair of Sneakers!
besos
I love wearing it - and to match as well! I am still looking - I really will know them when I see them!
