Woo, I'm now on vacation! One last busy day...
I arrived at work to find a ceiling tile collapsed in the hallway, but my earlier-arriving colleagues had already alerted the right people. Good work, colleagues!
- Silk top - Grey by Jason Wu, thrifted; last seen here in May with space neutrals
- Cotton skirt - Banana Republic, consignment; last worn here in April 2024 with purple boots and denim
- Shoes - Vogettes Misty, Fluevog; last seen here in June with picnic plaid
I've been eyeing my short skirts, as I prefer to wear them with boots and tights these days. As this one is cotton - even the lining! - it's better with bare legs.
I paired it with my silk Jason Wu top which has amazing details. Did you catch the woven grosgrain ribbon on the front? You can see it in the Stair Pic.
And it's longer in the back. Such a lovely quality garment.
One of my coworkers noticed my back tattoos peeking out. I never shy away from showing my ink.
Incognito. I took the bus home - I like people watching.
These shoes are not very toe-friendly yet - I need to stretch them out with the little socks.
The stuff:
Copper bling:
Of course, my otherwise simple outfit was solely to provide a backdrop for my lovely copper pieces. I always enjoy wearing them, and touch the warm metal often.
I'll be posting sporadically while I'm off - no Mom-Day tomorrow - but stay tuned, as there are adventures to be shared soon! Thanks for being here!
- Copper ball short choker/ball bracelet - vintage 60s, vintage expo
- Long copper necklace/ring - vintage 60s, consignment
- Copper links bracelet - Renoir, vintage 50s, thrifted
- Copper earrings - vintage expo

Have you even tried putting a peeled potato in the toe of a shoe to stretch it?
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of that! I'm not sure I want to put a potato in my shoe...
DeleteThose shoes are so great 😻
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emma!
DeleteYour copper jewelry!! In other words, I love all the bling for its color, sheen, shapes and tactileness. (new word) :-) Am also a fan of the black top (yes, I did notice the woven grosgrain ribbon at the hem of the top!) and the skirt - firstly for its eye catching color and secondly for the material. Given me cotton any day in summer and I'm in sheer heaven!
ReplyDeleteI am agog at your vacation schedule throughout the year; it seems quite humane! Enjoy your days, HELLO HELEN!, and have a grand weekend+ coming up!
Cheers, Laurie
I know, it's all about the copper, right, Laurie? Focusing on natural fibers was really helpful with the hot days we had last week.
DeleteI take a lot of long weekends vs. big chunks of time off. No more time for me until November US Thanksgiving, though.
Pity the shoes are not yet comfortable as they GLOW gorgeously! I love a cotton top, especially one with pretty details like that!
ReplyDeleteThey are getting there, Kezzie! I love the copper glow too. The skirt is cotton - the top is silk. :)
DeleteI've been avoiding what's left of my mini skirts, thinking I'll wear them with opaques in winter, but I never do ... Yours is lovely, though, even if it's all that fabulous copper which is drawing my attention here. Intrigued about Bushlady's peeled potato tip! xxx P.S. Enjoy your vacation!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as the temps here drop, I'll be styling up all the minis for September (hopefully) or they'll be getting the chop. Thanks, Ann!
