Final Outfit of the Season - The Italian Pouf and the Pickle

This is it, my friends! The last outfit of my spring/summer season. My schedule of doing my closet swap-over the upcoming weekend has necessitated a speedier completion deadline due to the two new kittens joining us on Friday night (and yes, I will reveal their names then). 

So, there will not be a Mom-Day tomorrow, as I'll be doing the bulk of the seasonal change. I didn't want to subject them to all my clothes and shoes AND a vacuum cleaner. 

• Sleeveless shirt - Denver Hayes, consignment; last worn here with crinkles and sequins in September
• Dress - I'M Isola Marras, Spring/Summer 2013, Florence, Italy; last seen here (2nd outfit) in September 2024 with chartreuse pants for a shop in Oak Bay
• Tulle skirt - Papillon; last worn here in August for a jaunt to North Saanich
• Boots - Slacker Vagabond, Fluevog; last seen here (2nd outfit) in April with suede and denim
• Rain Pickle - Ilse Jacobsen; last worn here in March...the last outfit before my spring/summer closet swap-over

This dress has been with me since 2014 - I can't believe it's been 11 years since L, Louise, me and Mom all went to Italy! This is the only piece of clothing that's survived. 

Just for fun, enjoy our trip all over again: 

• Venice
• Florence
• Cinque Terre
• Rome

I should do a Flashback on this dress - I've worn it a ton of different ways - but eh, I need to save my energy for the swap-over and Friday Kittens.

This time, I layered my sleeveless pink shirt under the dress, opened up the bottom and popped my frothy pink tulle skirt under it. 

The back is so interesting. 

I loved all these colours together. 

It was supposed to rain today, but it did not, and I ended up sweating, just soaking wet, from this waterproof jacket, aka The Rain Pickle. 

A man SHOUTED at me about how much he enjoyed my colours - and he high-fived me. Okay! 

The stuff: 

Really did not need the scarf, but isn't it a good match? I think the boots are the same season. I walked to and from work in them - they're great in the rain (that did not happen).

• Mulberry silk scarf - Fluevog

Green bling: 

Most of this will be packed away for 6 months. Buh-bye, green set! 

• Enamel/crystal cuff - Lauren G. Adams, consignment
• Lemon-lime crystal brooch/earrings - vintage 60s, Gram S's
• Green crystal bracelet - vintage 60s, Mom's
• Olivine/coral ring - Hawaii, c. 1977, Mom's
• Malachite ring - consignment

I'll be posting my outfit, along with the kittens' names, on Friday and will be back on Sunday with my closet swap-over. See you soon!
