Neon, Leopard and Black Pleats

Ugh, back to work is so difficult after a week and a half off! Don't make me go! 

That was a VERY EARLY morning. 

• Cardigan - Forever 21, thrifted; last seen here in February with this same top for a Mom-Day at home
• Silk top - Escada by Margaretha Ley, vintage 80s, thrifted; first worn here in February
• Skirt - Theory X Uniqlo, thrifted; purchased here for $14.95
• Shoes - Classy Bach, Fluevog; last seen here in May with lime and white

I styled up this pleated black skirt that I found while shopping for L's birthday presents a couple of weeks ago. 

I tossed on my usual colourful bits - this leopard blouse is a favourite. 

Showing the faux-wrap front of the skirt. 

A happy surprise: it did NOT swoosh open on me at all! 

I mostly wore the neon cardigan in the office as I slogged through the 300 emails in my inbox. 

It took me all day. 

Incognito. 

This was fine on the way to work. 

But I was dismayed at the rain pelting down on the way home. 

I deployed the Movie Star Wrap to keep from getting soaked. I only had wet bangs/fringe, and slight dampness on the top. Silk scarves for the win! 

The stuff: 

Such a great colour. 

• Silk scarf - Krizia, thrifted
• Belt - consignment
• Bug pin - consignment

The scarf is very damp there. 

Gold-tone bling: 

That malachite ring ripped a chunk of my hair out! Shocking! Ow!

• Hinged eelskin bangles - both vintage 80s, both thrifted
• Turquoise ring - consignment
• Malachite ring - vintage fair
• Earrings - Martha Sturdy, vintage fair
• Necklace - Givenchy, vintage 80s, vintage fair

They are a constant delight!
