Almost a Pumpkin Jammy Dress

As I won't be in the office tomorrow for Hallowe'en, I dressed up a bit colour-wise.
I've never worn this orange Jammy Dress with these boots before, so why not?

  • Dress - H&M, consignment; last seen here for a Jammy Friday with sneakers back in March
  • Boots - Warhol F-Trip, Fluevog; last worn here with a red Jammy Dress in May
  • Coat (below) - L'Atiste, consignment, Vancouver; last seen here a week ago

This dress is insanely cozy and thick. I layered a vintage slip under it, and I was sweating by the time I walked home. 
My colleague Glenn said I looked like a pumpkin. "You should have a green hat on!" And black eyes, nose and mouth, I added. And I even have a vintage green pillbox hat (pic of me in it here). 

We had a giggle at the idea of it. I'm almost a pumpkin!
Another Hallowe'en, I might be tempted. 

Outerwear!
"I like all your stuff," said the lovely person at a store on the way home. 

Thank you, kind stranger! I like it too! 
I was ready for any weather, but missed the rain...and the sun.

Accoutrements: 
I've decided to switch over to my other black and white scarf when the spooky season is over. 

  • Scarf - MetroWear, San Francisco, 2007
  • Toque - gift from Tammy
  • Brooch - Monet, vintage 80s, thrifted
  • Velour gloves - Thinsulate, thrifted

The stuff: 
Such amazing boots. They are really comfortable too. 

Gold bling: 
The cream and black of the boots inspired this cream and black necklace and earring "set". I bought them at the same vintage fair, sold separately. I wonder if the previous owner matched them up?

  • Necklace - Monet, vintage 80s, vintage fair
  • Earrings - vintage, vintage fair
  • Snake cuff - Whiting & Davis, vintage 70s, vintage fair
  • Leather/chain wrap - local
  • Double snake ring - consignment
  • Brass ring - vintage mall

Two snakes!

    Simply fabulous jammy dress! I can absolutely imagine the cozy warmth of it. For me it would be the perfect dress to wear on a cold, gray, damp winter’s day - snuggle in it’s warmth and have spirits buoyed by its vibrant color. The boots are quite the accompaniment and I’m wondering if you were able to walk to work in them?
    I’m guessing today might be a Mom Adventure and will imagine you and Helen out and about! We are stocked up with candy and look forward to seeing the under-10 crowd outfitted in their costumes. The over-10 crowd also tends to dress in costume but no where near as adorable as the little kids. ;)
    Cheers, Laurie

      Yes, it's excellent for that - I've worn it to many a Winesday or other event where I need the warmth and comfort, Laurie. No, I don't walk to work in these - it's too high of a heel, and I don't want to ruin the leather or suede with water (there are always puddles and wet leaves on my walks).
      You bet! We're heading out soon (as I write this). No trick or treaters for us, in a condo, plus not many kids in our neighbourhood. Hope you get lots of cool costumes!

    Great outfit! I love sweater dresses and that one looked so comfy. The boots are amazing, but then your shoe/boot collection is outstanding!
