And Now...Cow and Yellow Sleeves

Today was "only" 24 degrees, still too hot for my liking, and it meant I can't wear a Regret-Me-Not. 
I needed natural fibres, stat! 

  • Cotton blouse - Zara, thrifted; last worn here in May to visit Mom
  • Cotton dress - Marimekko for Uniqlo, consignment; last seen here in July 2024 with bits of blue
  • Leather flats - Karl Lagerfeld; last worn here in June with tiers of toile

I usually do bare arms with this 100% cotton dress (this is the 5th time I've worn it), although my very first outfit incorporated a long-sleeved sweater. 
What sleeves do I have that would work under this crazy cow dress that won't make me boil? The Zara blouse with the ginormous sleeves! This felt so fun. 

The dress feels more voluminous than it is, and requires very little chair-wrangling. 
I loved it with yellow - I've now done red, pink (twice) and blue with this dress, which is a Uniqlo/Marimekko collaboration from 2018.

Scarf Lady Incognito! This scarf has the same "stone" pattern as the dress, only in reverse - white stones on a brown background.
I know it's not cow pattern, even though I call it that. 

Accoutrements and stuff: 
Yellow shoes are essential in my wardrobe. 

  • Silk scarf - Vera, vintage, thrifted

Orange bling: 
The Jell-O Shot necklace returns! It's practically vintage now, ha ha. 

  • Triangle bangle - consignment, Sidney
  • Steel/Lucite ring - Calvin Klein, thrifted
  • Plastic cuff/ring - Italian, vintage 60s, vintage mall
  • Wooden earrings - vintage, vintage expo
  • Necklace - Banana Republic, consignment
