Black Jeans and Ruffled Jacket

Oh, is it Monday already? That weekend was way too fast, thank goodness for a short work-week and a long weekend in the future! 

Just playing around in my closet and wondering if I could get away with black jeans in the office. (I could and did).

• Jacket - Royal Underground, consignment, Powell River; last worn here in January with leopard
• Silk blouse - Pierre Cardin, vintage 60s, consignment; last seen here in December 2025 under a dress
• T-shirt - Karl Lagerfeld, consignment; not tracked
• Jeans - Scotch & Soda, thrifted; last worn here (2nd outfit) in November 2025 for a walk with Betty
• Shoes - Marquis Swordfish, Fluevog; last seen here (2nd outfit) a couple of weeks ago with my newest embroidered jacket
• Suede coat (below) - Danier Leather, consignment; last worn here in October 2025

I layered one of my sleeping tees under this open vintage silk blouse, then layered my black ruffled jacket over that. 

Easy shoes. This was a very comfortable outfit. 

I didn't shed the jacket, but I could have.

I went to a retirement send-off for a longtime, beloved colleague (Hi, Gord!) after work.

So many of my former coworkers - including my dear boss Tony! - were there. 

I hopped a bus home in the bright sunshine. 

Don't be fooled, it was COLD out there. This suede outer layer protected me from the wind. 

It's nearly April, and I am READY for spring to be here. 

The stuff: 

Have I ever worn this scarf? I can't remember.
