Here's Saturday brunch, built around the most swooshy skirt I own.
Yes, he played the morning after the DOI!
I'm enjoying taking my ultra-dressy items down a notch to see how they work in a casual wardrobe.
- T-shirt - Blondie, thrifted, not tracked
- Denim fin top - 3.1 Phillip Lim, consignment; last seen here in January, over an orange sweater dress
- Silk blend skirt - Ralph Lauren, consignment; last worn here in October 2025 for Saturday brunch in orange
- Denim jacket by Plu++ Plulavie, consignment; first seen here in May with pink plaid
- Sneakers - Converse; last worn here in May with optic chartreuse
It was a windy day, so I wanted something that would really swoosh.
I looked at a t-shirt, but I needed some sort of layer - the fin top!
And then...why not a little more denim on top of that?
I really liked all the uneven hemlines around the hips. This felt very cool.
I strolled down to meet L after his Ultimate Frisbee game.
The stuff:
Comfy shoes - I love the extra chunk of the thick soles.
- Leather purse - vintage 80s, thrifted
- Shell brooch - JJ, vintage 80s, consignment, Powell River
Pearly bling:
He kicked all of my stuff out of its storage, then slept on the bags.
Necklace stacking is a thing...again! Did you know that? I am amused by how these things come around, over and over.

Whateley kept me company while I wrote on Saturday.
Barnabas hid from the world on the bed.
After a couple of days of hanging out, playing boardgames, reading and listening to music, L and I ventured out to get groceries on Monday.
Yum, I cannot get enough of their breakfast burrito.
Such a sweet little guy.
After a couple of days of hanging out, playing boardgames, reading and listening to music, L and I ventured out to get groceries on Monday.
What's that I see? Another whole week off? I'm in!
I wore minimal make-up and didn't even dry my hair! Such a rebel.
The temps soared to 23 degrees, so I broke out this cotton long Hawaiian block print dress.
Since we had a few things to pick up in the area, L and I had a quick lunch at Boomtown.
Scarf on, ready for the convertible!
After lunch, we did a quick grocery shop, and then home again to hide from the world.
Rock on!
My Vera scarf matched perfectly.
The stuff:
These shoes are comfy, and excellent for a hot day.
- Suede purse - Dooney & Burke, consignment
- Silk Scarf - Vera, thrifted
Black and white bling:
Longtime favourites.
- Black and white bracelet - vintage fair
- Black and white bangles - consignment
- Earrings - W. Germany, vintage 80s, vintage fair
- Silver/crystal ring - Soul Flower
- Silver "Anneke & Lars" ring - vintage mall
Someone needed a hug.
Whateley matches my print!
Me and L rocking it at Boomtown.
Happy Birthday week, love!
The kittens look like they're planning something.
L and Whateley on the deck.
Aw, a man and his cat.
I'll be back in a few days! Thank you so much for being here.
Hello Sheila, hugs to the cats and Happy Belated Birthday wishes to L! I shall enjoy a big blog catch-up later but just wanted to say how much I loved seeing that gorgeous Hawaiian dress on you again, flippin' fabulous! xxxx
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your adventurous combinations of luxury fabrics with denim and sneakers! The Hawaiian dress looks "cool" and cool. I think Whateley would love to be a fashion icon but has to content himself with being a creator of personalized cat beds!
ReplyDeleteLove the hawaiian dress.
ReplyDeleteEchoing others, the Hawaiian print is a lovely dress and the perfect warm weather outfit! Plus you look so comfortable wearing it, and the black & white bracelets and earrings are perfect! I appreciate the layered necklaces; for me the higher the temps the less I can tolerate anything around my neck.
ReplyDeleteHazaah, kudos to L for UF the day after DOI. The guy has stamina! In any case, you two have this week to yourselves, no work but probably some more playing. :-) Enjoy! Cheers, Laurie
The gold and black combo is fabulous. I love that gold skirt.
ReplyDeleteThe cotton dress is amazing as well.
You look great in both.
L also looks stylish.
Love the swooshing skirt with the assymetric top and chunky converse, what a fabulous combo, you're so stylish!
ReplyDeleteAnd love that hawaiian cotton dress, totally gorgeous print and fabulous styling again!
