I'm a Chandelier!

Another day, another Jammy Dress. You may have noticed I own a lot of them! 
I've had this toile-ish dress since the very start of the pandemic, bought on my first shop after lock-down! That feels like so long ago...

  • Dress - PartTwo, consignment; last seen here (2nd outfit) in July 2023 for Book Club at Mindy's
  • Shoes - Sam Edelman, consignment; last worn here in May with some work familiars
  • Denim jacket (below) - G-Star Raw, consignment, Powell River; last seen here in April for a Mom-Day at her house

But this is now the 6th time I've worn it. It's such a fun shape, and all it needs is a pair of shoes and I'm dressed. Bam! 
Although it lacks pockets (grrr), the five swooshy layers speak to me. 

I walk to work with the sun at my back, and watched my long shadow's layers flip as I walked. 
"I look like a chandelier!" I thought to myself. 

The way a certain garment makes you feel can be just as important as how it makes you look. 
When I giggle and spin in circles (and you know I did that - colleague Camille was a fan), that dress is going to last in my closet. 

Incognito. I tossed on a light jacket for the walk to and from work. 
I've flipped the cuffs here, but wore them down in real life. 

The stuff: 
Pink suede perfection. I matched my lipstick to this shade.

Blue bling: 
I can barely feel these long earrings, but catch the hoops out of the corners of my eyes.

  • Silver S-cuff - Mexican, consignment, Sidney
  • Filigree cuff - St. Paul's Cathedral gift shop, London
  • Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes
  • Lapis lazuli ring - Wendy Brandes
  • Silver/kyanite ring - consignment
  • Silver earrings - consignment

  1. Oh golly, yet another fabulous dress! I so agree: how a dress makes you feel is just as important as how it makes you look. And the shoes! The shoes!-readerrita

  2. What a lovely yammy dress. I like the shape of it, makes me think of Jazz age and the roaring twenties. The pattern on the dress is very pretty too. I like the shoes you paired with it. A very elegant and chic combo!
    Have a nice day.

  7. Your lovely dress reminds me of a flapper dress from the 1920s. The filigree bracelet, blue rings and drop earrings are my cup of tea! A truly delightful outfit from top to bottom!
