Jammy Black and Red

I was looking around in my closet, and my eyes alit on this blouse - I've only worn it once, so time to style it up again.
A classic Jammy Dress outfit! 

  • Silk blouse - Pierre Cardin, vintage 70s, consignment; first seen here in April with leopard and mock-croc
  • Nylon dress - Motion, vintage 90s, consignment; last worn here in November 2024 with my Halston blouse
  • Booties - MJUS, thrifted, Sidney; purchased here for $29.99
  • Leather coat (below) - Danier Leather; last seen here (2nd outfit) in January over plaid pants

I layered it under this lovely "parachute" nylon dress. It's swooshy in a stiff sort of way. 
And it makes that Nylon Noise. Whoosh! Also - pockets! Hooray! 

I picked the coat to complement the boots. 
I liked how the bubble hem of the dress flared out under the slim coat.  

The stuff: 
I walked to and from work in these booties, and they were very comfortable. I added a thick insole as they are a size too big. Perfect! 

  • Scarf - Uniqlo X Marimekko, consignment
  • Pleather hat - Babaton, consignment
  • Suede gloves - no brand, purchased here at Dots for $19.99

Minimal bling: 
I'd forgotten that the sleeves on the silk blouse are very short, and had skipped bracelets. I missed them. 

  • Ponyhair belt - Gap, thrifted
  • Anneke & Lars silver ring - vintage mall
  • Silver/jasper ring - thrifted
  • Silver/red enamel ring - antique shop, Sidney
  • Metal rose earrings - Betsey Johnson, swap from Cat

Last night, L came and got me - one of the kittens was finally using the cushy house we bought for them! Whateley, you look so happy. 
"This is soft."


Of course, he only snoozed there that one time and only for a little while. 

I had supervision in the bathroom in the morning: the gargoyle, Barnabas and Whateley. 
"What's she doing to her face?"       "I don't know, but I'd like to chew on that brush..."

  1. Cool elf booties! Maybe he only sleeps in the cushy house when you are out, thinks it is not allowed :). He looks super happy. Aaww. Lise

    1. Thanks, Lise! Doubtful, they tend to avoid it, and now that we've made a big deal of it, they'll ignore it entirely (cats!).

    1. He's such a sweet boy - has major jealously issues with Barnabas, so we've been working on ensuring he gets enough attention. Thank you, Rita!

  3. Barnabas and Whateley are trying to figure out how to wake up the gargoyle so it will play with them. ;-)
    I'm sitting here in my bathrobe appreciating your jammy outfit coupled with the comfy shoes. And yay for red!
    Cheers, Laurie

  5. It's fascinating how the character of the dress changes with the red and white blouse! I took a look at the November link and I like both versions. I have to smile at the kittens supervising your morning makeup session!
