Today I had to batten down the hatches and prepare the office to not have me for a couple of days. Jammy Dress time!
I've worn this dress six times so far, which is a lot for me.
Dress, boots, BOOM.
Outfit complete.
If it had pockets it would be an A+.
But I deduct heavily for lack of pockets. B+! Yes, I'm a hard marker.
Outerwear. I was incognito all day, but forgot to put my sunnies on for the pic.
I have a small window of time to wear this faux leather python-print wrap coat. It has no buttons, isn't lined and really isn't warm at all - but it has pockets. It does look good, though!
Accoutrements:
I love burgundy and orange together. Secret bugs delight me.
The stuff:
Stunning boots, and awesomely comfy. I love the wavy pattern of the leather.
Orange bling:
Some of these pieces get put away for the season - I am also looking forward to swapping my jewelry over...
- Triangle bangle - consignment, Sidney
- Wooden clip-on earrings - vintage fair
- Plastic cuff/ring - Italian, vintage mall
- Steel/Lucite ring - Calvin Klein, thrifted
Vizz and I would like to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving.
"Nah, let's do your birthday instead."
What a smart kitty you are!
And now, Gentle Readers, I bid you adieu. I'll be back soon.
Happy birthday ..week..! hope its lots of fun. I love your boots, really special and interesting to see how you can mix patterns and link in with colour, I think your dress deserves another 6 outings its so nicely cut. Betty
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Betty! Aren't the boots fun? When you have boots like that, you need to wear them, so it forces me to experiment and try new combinations. I agree, 6 more wears for sure.
DeleteLooking fabulous! Happy Birthday lead-up, Sheila! Sending lots of love to you, L and Vizzini. xxx
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you, Vix! Hugs!
DeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY in just a few days! And here’s to celebrating in style, as you always do!
ReplyDeleteThree cheers for your jammy dress! I’m a fan of black & white, and how nicely your dress flatters your figure. Patting myself on the back for having just procured (new but 70% off on sale) a similar dress. Alas, mine is a smidgeon large and necessitates a belt, but a small price to pay for a versatile jammy dress!
Here’s to your weekend and Birthday Monday!
Cheers, Laurie
Thank you so much, Laurie!
DeleteI just love this dress - it's definitely a favourite. Oh, how lovely, you found a fun dress for yourself! Belting is a fun way to play with a shape - even throwing a slimmer knit vest or sweater over it can help disguise that.
I don't think this glorious striped dress and wavy boots outfit could be bettered. The coat is a stunner too, even if you've only got a small window to wear it in.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time off, and I can't wait to hear about your birthday plans! xxx
It's a fun and easy combo, would wear it again, Ann. I nearly wore my Welsh woven coat, but remembered to get a wearing in of this one.
DeleteOh my goodness, I was admiring your dress and boots and then caught a look at the jacket! WOW! I looooove it! X
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Jess!
DeleteThose boots with this dress is a match made in heaven.
