Red Leopard and White Patterns











When I did my outfit planning last night, I had this all ready to go for today's work day, followed by a concert later in Sidney. 
The concert is tomorrow. Sigh. I'm sure I'll be able to come up with something else! 

  • Denim suit - Smashed Lemon; last worn here as a full suit in January for Mom-Day at Blenkinsop Lake
  • Sweater - Scotch & Soda by Maison Scotch, consignment; last seen here in October 2025 to see Sarah McLachlan in concert
  • Booties - Matisse, thrifted; last worn here in February with black and brown
  • Sleeveless coat - Only, thrifted; last seen here on Friday

Why I look shocked in the Stair Pic: 
That's RAIN. I walked to work in that. 

I remind myself that it's just water. 
It was very warm and the cotton sweater was too much on the way home. 

I always love wearing this suit - it's denim, 100% cotton. 
Excellent pockets! I liked the two patterns of black and white with it.

Barnabas was lurking around and meowing while I did my pics. 
Sorry it's blurry. The feet! Ha, and his bum. 

I tucked all my hair into my beret to keep it dry on the way to work - it was the only part of me that arrived not soaking wet at the office 20 minutes later. Everything was dry by the time I left work and the ground was dry - it's that warm! 
Barnabas always does this stretch when he wants to cuddle.

The stuff: 
Of course I carried these booties to work in a bag. 

  • Wool beret - Parkhurst, consignment
  • Snake brooch - thrifted
  • Studded leather gloves - Danier Leather

Silver bling: 
All favourites. I had an umbrella...on my lapel! 

  • Leather belt - Madewell, consignment
  • Studded cuff - c. 1998
  • Leather cuff - Guess, thrifted
  • Silver chain ring - Mexican, consignment
  • Loopy silver ring - consignment, Sidney
  • Anneke & Lars silver ring - vintage mall
  • Silver/obsidian ring - consignment
  • Silver earrings - Israeli, consignment
  • Umbrella brooch - vintage 20s/30s, vintage mall

Whateley was waiting for me while I got my coat on this morning. 
"You should stay home."


I wish I could, buddy! 

Our ritual Look Out the Window interlude when I get home. 
They smell, look around and listen to the 'hood, and I check Merlin for birds (hummingbirds and finches today). 

Such focus. 
I'll be back on Friday with Mom-Day, plus our concert.
