Poor L is sick with a nasty sinus thing - he complimented me on my outfit when I got home. "You look nice!"
But I thought you hated this dress? Personally, I love it - it's fuzzy, like long velvet, almost plush. Very tactile.
"It's the top - it's distracting from the stupid of the dress."
Oh, very clear now, I see. Well, sickie, take some more cold medication and go back to sleep.
I wear what I want...even if I'm a little blurry.
I was slammed at work again - WTF, Fridays? This seems wrong! Fridays should be quiet!
I left work early and have a bit of extra time, so you, Gentle Reader, get an extra post while I make myself a late lunch/early dinner at home.
And L sleeps/watches Netflix. Unfortunately, no fun for him tonight...aw...enjoy snoozing with Vizzini.
Accoutrements:
It was a lovely day - I didn't really need such a heavy coat, or the scarf, or even the gloves.
- Scarf - Daniel La Foret, vintage mall, gift from L
- Gloves - Principles, thrifted
The stuff:
Good clomping shoes - I'm noisy in the wooden heels/platform.
- Cuff - vintage mall, gift from L
- Brass cuff - Midzo, vintage expo
- Brass horoscope necklace - Mexican, vintage 70s, Mom's
- Earrings - thrifted
- Brass rings - vintage 70s, vintage mall
Okay, off to have a very fun adventure!
Hi Sheila- I'm loving that coat! And that vintage scarf is so good. How wonderful that you have a vintage mall out there- we don't have that here!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you babe. I like the top with the dress!
ReplyDeleteHoping by the time you see this (if you read comments on Saturday morning) that L is greatly improved!
ReplyDeleteYour dress reminds me of a dress I have that was a similar length. When Fred was in the hospital I kept a running blog for family and there are numerous photos. We were rereading the blog last week and upon seeing the photo of me in the dress I grimaced…it’s way too long for my proportions plus I no longer wear heels. End result, I hemmed it just a few days ago and am tickled with the result; it’s like having a new jammy dress!
Well, that was a digression but all due to the dress in this post. :)
Here’s to a wonderful weekend, L feeling better, and sunshine!
Cheers, Laurie
Thank you, Laurie! He had to miss our big event, unfortunately, but is feeling better today/Saturday. Hmmm...maybe I should hem my dress? Although I like this length with a bit of a heel, so there's that. A good option to think about for when I have to give up heels entirely! Happy weekend, my dear!
DeleteI really love that coat too-looks very Welsh, woollen, and warm🙂✨
ReplyDeleteOh, don't get sick too! There is a flu going on here, so many people are sick. We are going for a walk in nature today, that will increase our immune system. Enjoy your Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear L. has a nasty sinus bug, and I'm hoping he's not giving it to you!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I thought when you mentioned L. complimented you on your outfit was, I thought he hated the dress! He has a point that it looks fantastic with that blouse!
I had a kind of WTF Friday too, by the way. I'll be glad to be rid of them soon!
Can't wait to read about your weekend adventures! xxx
Fuzzy is good - it sounds soft and cosy, and at this time of year soft and cosy is good.
ReplyDeleteI hope L's sinus bug clears up soon. (I thought I had one, but it turned out to be covid - I hope it's not the same for him.)
Awww, I'm sorry L wasn't well. I hope he's feeling loads better now.
ReplyDeleteI thought the same, I remember you mentioning that he hated that dress when you got it. Fuzzy and plush-like sounds like a warm hug, you can't go wrong with that! xxx
