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.
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.
Oh yah, the black and white with the red and black makes for a grand combination! Such a comfortable suit, kind of like a jammy dress only it's a jammy suit. I know you were hoot the way home but wow, how nice to have warm weather!!! We have teaser days every so often but it's still mostly been sufficiently cold to wear our down-filled winter coats. I know, I know, it's all part of Spring!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the concert tonight and spending time with your Mom today! Cheers, Laurie
