Backdrop for Copper

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: 

In contrast to yesterday's ballet flats, these are not that comfortable. I need to wear them more and stretch 'em out! Better look out, or I'll wear you in the rain, shoes...

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.

• 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

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!
