It was a burry morning.
The vest and Boss Pants help counteract the very Victorian vibe of the blouse.
I loved wearing this vest again - I had forgotten that I'd only worn it once! It has nice big pockets too.
I didn't do up the waist buttons, as it causes the velvet ties in front to bunch up. This does make me look very wide, so mental note: I should do them up in the future. Incognito. It was supposed to rain all day.
It did not rain at all, but a week of solid rain is coming. You'll see this coat and hat again!

The stuff:
I'm glad I wore these sandals to give me a bit more elevation - I wore them with a little lacy anklet.

Such cute kittens.


That blouse is such a great find, loving those sleeves!
ReplyDeleteI'm crazy about your kitties. We bought William one of those tunnels the Xmas before last but he went off it in the end, I think Jon played with it more than he did! xxx
I like the way the big sleeves soften the business look of the other great pieces. That vest is super!
ReplyDeleteWe are currently in a hotel where there is a momma cat and some kittens outside. Momma kept sneaking into the dining room at a reception, when the smokers went out. She was unceremoniously deposited outside at least 4 times!
