Daffodils and dirt? It's Spring-adjacent.
Just because I wore this dress for New Year's Eve is no reason not to wear it to work. It's a Jammy Dress!
And I showed her the pockets - lots of room in them.
I layered a cami and shorts under this as well as the tights, plus socks.
Isn't the floral pattern lovely? Some of the sections have no velvet at all and are slightly sheer.
I did have a wee bit of Velvet Rage under my backpack, but made it without getting cranky.
Accoutrements:
It was blustery winds but my hat stayed on. Brrr!
The stuff:
Getting in one more wearing of these lovely boots for the season. See you in September!
But the dress is fully lined in yellow, so no worries.
I got a thumbs up from a bus passenger, as it turned in front of me while walking home. Thank you, kind stranger!

I love the pairing of the dress with the brown tights and boots! Also like the bucket hat and coat together. Double doses of pairings. :-)

Thanks so much, Laurie! You're tight, lots of pairs!
DeleteWhat a fabulous dress, Sheila, it really makes my heart sing. Although admittedly the words "velvet rage" instantly popped into my head :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Welsh wool coat and bucket hat are a fab combo, too. I'm not surprised that bus passenger gave you the thumbs up! xxx
Me too, Ann - it gives me so much pleasure to wear it. Yeah, I tried to wait until I didn't need a coat, but the weather is not cooperating!
DeleteI love the mix of the old and the news! Thank you!
If Spring doesn’t come to you, just create your own! What a glorious dress…love it with those boots! Anne Bray told me there’s a store in Chicago so I may just need to take a road trip!

That's the goal, Marsha! Thanks so much! You need to try some Fluevogs on!
DeleteI am loving the colours, pretty print and airy design of that yellow floral velvet French Connection dress. It looks fabulous styled with the black hosiery. The overcoat, bucket hat and scarf also looked stylish. Fab OOTD!
ReplyDeleteThank you! The hosiery is brown, matching the boots. So appreciate your kind comment, PB.
DeleteOoh, the mustard and brown work really nicely together! I love the leaves on that dress. xx
ReplyDeleteMe too, Kezzie, thank you!
