It was another hot day, so I chose this easy loose dress that I picked up last week.
I belted it - it's WAY too loose to be worn without a belt (kinda like my Kenzo tiger dress).
See?
Incognito, and wearing my matchy Courreges silk scarf for hair/sun coverage.
I layered an olive green camisole under it, and a black half-slip on the bottom, as the dress is VERY sheer.
The stuff:
- Leather purse - Allibelle, consignment
- Silk scarf - Andres Courreges, vintage, consignment
Silver bling:
- Belt - gift from Ruth
- Silver S cuff - Mexican, consignment, Sidney
- Filigree cuff - St. Paul's Cathedral gift shop, London
- Silver chain ring - Mexican, consignment
- Silver poison ring - Karen's
- Silver earrings - Israeli
The play was "Casey and Diana" (summary here, local paper here), and I knew going in it would be both uplifting and sad.

I had some love from Whateley in the brief period between getting home after work and leaving again for dinner:
"Ah, right there."
He's not shy.
"And there."
Barnabas was on patrol.
"I see squirrels!"
What good boys!
What a contrast to the strong colours from the previous post. I can see you would need coverage underneath that graceful filmy dress. Whateley is becoming quite the little love bug now, isn't he, seeking affection? Meanwhile it is Barnabas who is "on duty".
ReplyDeleteHow delightful to have so many friends who are theatre buffs such that you have your own Theatre Group! I followed your link and read the synopsis of the play. Oof, yes, I can imagine the uplifting portion and the sad portion. Your dress looks wonderful on, so interesting with its varied colors and patterns yet they all come together as one dress. What do you think about green socks (that match the dress) or gray ones? I love your filigree cuff and suspect I've mentioned that every time (or almost every time ;-)) you wear it. Yay for getting a bit of culture during the work week! Cheers, Laurie
ReplyDeleteI looked for mint green socks or pale blue to match the dress, but didn't find a pair I liked. My gray ones looked dull.
DeleteI love this dress! Plus, I don’t think you did wrong with the light socks- they give the outfit an ethereal spring vibe. (The black socks are also swell, but they do ground the look a bit more.)
ReplyDeleteI still lust after those shoes! We used to call them “Brothel Creepers”, and with those pointier toes, I think they qualify as “Winkle Pickers” also…
The page froze and wouldn't let me add to my above comment: I read the summary of the play, and would have been sobbing also. That was such a bad time- I lost a chilling amount of friends to AIDS; and the #*^#%!!! government just didn’t care. In retrospect, I am happy that (at least) there weren’t also anti-science people influencing the progress of treatment for it. I’m elated that it is not a death sentence any longer. (If one has access to the meds, that is…)
