It ended up being dry today, although still cold.
I reached for my down-filled puffer to keep me warm.
I was ready for anything.
Rain is on the way!
The stuff:
I was surprised to see that I haven't worn these shoes in almost a full year. Even though they are only out for 6 months, that's not very much. It might be time to move these along...

- Mink rose pin - thrifted
- Fur scarf - Danier Leather, thrifted

Red bling:
I made some small adjustments to the bracelet's slide lock - it fell off twice during the day, so I fiddled with it a bit more when I got home. Otherwise, I loved it.

I love seeing all your vintage jewellery, Sheila. X
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoy it, Jess! I love wearing it!
DeleteFabulous, as ever! I'm glad you managed to fix that bangle, I'd have hated for you to lose it! xxx
ReplyDeleteWell, I know why it was consigned! It was an easy fix, just a pair of pliers! thanks so much, Vix!
DeleteThat' s a lovely outfit to start back to work in. I'm sure your fellow workers appreciated seeing you in it.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you! The office was really dead on Monday, hardly anyone saw it.
DeleteYou look fab! Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hena, Happy New Year to you!
DeleteIt's a rare occasion when I smile wider at your jewelry than at your outfit but that's what happened just now! Your jewelry is sheer delight – the reds cause the smile, the bronze and brass simply shine – how could the combination NOT cause a smile! I also love your skirt for the colors and drape so am giggling that your favorite is the ruffled jacket. :-)
ReplyDeleteMay each day be an easier adjustment back into the swing of things. Like you, I've also noticed that the daytime darkness is slowly beginning to recede; it stays lighter later, bit by bit! Are you familiar with Port Townsend in WA? Robin and Emma spent New Year's Eve there and quite liked it. Hi Barnabas & Whateley!
Cheers, Laurie
You nailed it, Laurie - my clothes are often "backdrops" for my jewelry. The ruffled jacket has ragged edges, plus an extra layer of organza backing the ruffles. I also love the fleur-de-lis zipper pulls on the cuffs and front. So rock & roll!
DeleteThank you! It's been an adjustment, and there's a big push on to get folks back in the office (which means busier days for me). I love that it's light out again when I walk home - I'll have to dust off my sunglasses soon!
I have never been to Port Townsend, but I'm aware of it.
More kitty pictures tonight! I've been remiss in taking pics.
