This was utterly comfortable, and also very snuggly and warm, as the temps continue to hover around 1-2 degrees.

Foggy view of the Castle.
Some people can't handle wearing bold colours like this.
My wonderful 100% wool cobalt blue 80s cardigan has been a favourite in my closet since 2018.
Pockets! It's such a deep blue - my eyes just eat it up.
The moths have never gotten to it.
It looks atrocious when not belted - it has all kinds of odd folds and drapes.
Shhh...mustn't curse it.
This lime green dress is so fun - I like how twisty it is.
Big hat!
The stuff:
These shoes LOOK high, but they are actually fine for walking around the office.
As I walked home, I looked down on the lime green peeking out from under the blue...with that bright pink? Such a soothing bunch of brights.
Accoutrements:
I buried my face in the fur scarf on the way home. Brr!

Some pictures I took last night.
"I'm helping!"
Trying to blog before leaving for Book Club.
The best house in the neighbourhood.
These lights change colour!
Peeking into the window of a closed store.
That tulip lamp is lovely!
On my way home, I noticed a little house on the front step.
Hey, someone's in there!
She came out to visit. Hello!
"I grant you safe passage."
The password is a scritch on the head and a rub on the cheek.
No Mom-Day tomorrow, my friends, as I have to prep my Limbo pile for the closet sale this weekend. I'll be back on Sunday with tales of adventure, so please do stop by! Thanks so much for visiting and reading - I so appreciate it.
Fabulous colour combination! Lise
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Lise!
DeleteEchoing Lise's comment - fabulous color combo! The blues!!! The eye opening green!
ReplyDeleteAh, the truth is out, Vizzini dictates and you type. ;-)
Oh wow, the cat house is a great idea and somebody both loves and trusts their cat to provide such a cozy outdoor abode. I enjoyed tagging along on your walk.. :-)
Here's to prepping the Limbo pile for the closet sale. Whenever you do that I have vicarious thoughts of hopping on a plane just to peruse the sale!!!!
Hi Helen, since we won't 'see' you tomorrow!
Cheers, Laurie
I love how searingly bright this was!
DeleteHa, yes, he's quite the prolific writer. ;-P
Isn't that the sweetest thing? It had its own set of blinking lights too.
I might take a video of everything, just so you can have a look.
Mom will appreciate that, thank you! <3
I absolutely love the combination of lime green and cobalt blue – what a vibrant and energising pairing, especially when the weather's been so dreary! It’s clear that these colours bring you joy and brighten up the day, making it the perfect choice for a post-Book Club outfit. The wool cardigan sounds incredibly cosy, and the frosty scenery seems to complement the warmth of your clothes beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThat lime green dress is so fun and playful, and it’s lovely that it’s also twisty – a subtle detail that adds interest! And the cobalt blue cardigan with its deep colour and pockets sounds like a true wardrobe treasure. Fingers crossed the moths stay away!
Thanks so much, Melody! What a lovely comment! Yes, the dress would be boring if it didn't have the twists. Thanks so much for the anti-moth wish!
DeleteA feast for the eyes, indeed. Such good colors:-) Plus, cats! And tree stars!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the big sale this weekend- I hope a rollicking good time is had by all!
Readerrita
Thank you so much, Rita! Aren't the tree stars and kitty lovely? Thank you so much!
DeleteI think this colour combination is fabulous. Used to adore cobalt blue in the 80's, but haven't worn the colour in ages. My friend had such a cat house too and I think it is so funny!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nancy! Cobalt blue is such a great colour - maybe you need some in your closet?
DeleteI thought the cat-house was so cute!
PS:
ReplyDeleteAren’t cat eyebrows just the most delightful? Your “helper” photo is pure happiness. Thanks to you and Vizzini for sharing!
readerrita
They are! Vizzini's have always been uneven - sometimes he has two whites on one side, sometimes none.
DeleteIt seems we have been sharing the same weather, so that fabulous splash of brights was very welcome indeed!
ReplyDeleteThat cat is looking very cozy in its cat house and how wonderful that it granted you safe passage.
Wishing you good luck and lots of fun with your closet sale! xxx
Yup, it's very similar here, Ann. I definitely needed those brights to wake me up! I always ask strange cats for safe passage...and they always grant it.
DeleteThank you! It was so fun!
I hope the sale prep is going well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cheery outfit, people are so weird about colour, aren't they?
We've got one of those thermal cat houses for our neighbourhood strays, that moggy looks very happy in his!
Have a fabulous weekend, Sheila, L and Vizzini! xxx
So much work, Vix - you know how it is! Thank you so much - I love all this brightness, but people are so "I could never!" when it comes to colour.
DeleteHappy weekend (although it's past) to you, Jon and William! <3
The shoes, the dress...so good.
ReplyDeleteGreetje
I loved how cozy and bright this was! Thank you!
DeleteI love your lime and cobalt styling!
ReplyDeleteMe too, thanks, Ivana!
