"It's very lime," said one. L said I looked like "Classic Joker" - in a good way!
I enjoyed seeing my colleagues and even played a game of pool with Sid. He won - I am terrible at pool, but enthusiastic. I like to hit the balls around!
This is the ultimate Jammy Dress, although it lacks pockets.
All the side gathers make it very drapey. It looks like a big droopy sack without the belt.

I look forward to wearing it with other colours, but for today I went with pops of white.
It was comfy to wear - I liked the nice thick fabric.

I was glad I had this thick wind-resistant suede coat.
Aw, this makes me miss Vanity Fair Antique Mall - I bought it there, new with its original tags on! (pics here).

Accoutrements:
This scarf was perfect with the outfit. A gorgeous Yves Saint Laurent from the 1980s - what a find.

More spring color! I had a chuckle when reading L’s comment. ;) The side gathers take the dress up a notch from plain to interesting. I can just picture you enjoying playing pool as you hit a ball; there’s a purpose to this game, who cares! Always special to wear jewelry that is special for the person it came from. I think your coat is teal; what a lovely deep color.

Very vibrant! Love the scarf too. I think this colour looks fascinating on almost every shade of green!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this look, I love the accessories you paired it with as well! The pink glasses, add some extra spunk! Your necklaces are soooo beautiful as well! Hope you have an amazing rest of your spring!

Never mind the lack of pockets, that is one stunner of a dress. Very lime indeed and it pairs fabulously with your hair! And you're wearing yet another one of my favourite coats of yours too. The scarf is the perfect go-between! xxx
ReplyDeleteThat dress has a beautiful shape. Go bold or go home as they say! I love the coat that you have teamed it with and of course a touch of YSL doesn't hurt! x
ReplyDeleteThat dress just screams Spring! That coat's a firm favourite and the scarf couldn't be a btter choice. xxx
ReplyDeleteMy, that's a gorgeous neon dress. I love how bold is this neon green colour.
ReplyDeleteI love the 'classical Joker in a good way' compliment. I always thought his fashion sense was rather fabulous. I liked comic books as a kid.
The green designer scarf is really a perfect pairing with this dress. A wonderful find.
You look fantastic!
I love that you broke the American rule and wore white shoes before Memorial Day! You rebel, you! You are stunning in that lime green dress...perfect acoutrements!
