Second wearing of this silk double-breasted blouse, and I treated it like a topper layer, instead of a shirt.
- Silk blouse - Alfred Sung Sport, vintage 80s, thrifted; first seen here in July with a denim mermaid skirt
- Tie-neck sweater - Anne Klein, vintage 90s, thrifted; last worn here in April with a dragonscale skirt
- Pants - Cambio, consignment; last seen here (2nd outfit) in April for hosting Winesday
- Leather shoes - Chloe, consignment; last worn here in July with my Darth duster (aka Halston Ultrasuede shirtdress)
I liked it with the casual nylon cargo pants (there's a giant pocket on one leg).
Incognito:
Done up and sleeves down for walking to and from work.
The stuff:
I love these shoes, which surprises me, since I dislike loafers. They're just a little weird, you know?
- Hat - Babaton, consignment
Gold-tone bling:
Only Grandma's necklace (worn as a bracelet) is real gold.
They can never get enough playtime, and there was much tearing about!
We all slept in on Saturday, then met up with Nick for brunch at John's Place. I missed a week, and it felt like forever!
I realized I had a theme going: snake belt, snake print shoes...
- Gold-by-the-inch chain - vintage 80s, Grandma J's
- Crystal bracelet - thrifted
- Wooden Klimt ring - consignment
- Amber ring - c. 1996
- Earrings - thrifted
I let go of the earrings - off to Limbo! - as I never wear them, and actually forgot all about them.
L and I had takeout Thai food for dinner after work, then chilled with the boys for the evening, playing board games.

I'd hoped to wear my new-to-me faux-fur-trimmed jacket, but it was too warm out. I would have worn it with this outfit, though!
I layered an olive green camisole under the top, and wee shorts under the denim skirt.
Snake print purse!
We had a lovely big lunch, then L and I did our weekly grocery shop.
The stuff:
What was that theme again?
- Leather purse - Margot New York, thrifted
- Leather belt - Notes du Nord, thrifted
- Leather sandals - Lucky Brand, The Bay
Snaky bling:
The more, the merrier!
- Snake coil bracelet - Whiting & Davis, vintage 70s, vintage fair
- Leather/chain bracelet - Jenny Bird, consignment
- Snake necklace - vintage 90s, vintage expo
- Silver snake ring - BC Museum gift shop, 1985
- Silver/gold/amethyst snake ring - vintage fair
- Earrings - thrifted, Seattle
I had a nice long nap on Saturday afternoon (I am not a good sleeper in general).
Whateley is almost asleep.
Whateley "helping." Showing off the pockets!
I see you sneaking a peek at me, buddy.
Aw, that face.
Such a sweet boy. He slept on the bed with me while I napped.
And then it was time to get ready for Nick's birthday party! You might remember the Party Boy action from last year here, from August 2025.
While I still had my "Party Boy" t-shirt, I decided this was the perfect opportunity to wear this new-to-me suede dress that I found back in June.
I thought it might be too warm for it, but it cooled off quite a lot while I was sleeping.
I played around with my shoes until I landed on the right ones.
It's still August - I didn't want a visually heavy or closed shoe.
I wore the dress around the house for a while, and felt chilled, so I added this long bomber.
It has no pockets (outrageous!) but it's perfect for wearing on a summer night at a party.
I swanked around in it once the sun went down.
I explained to a lot of people what it actually was. It's a bomber jacket.
Only REALLY long.
My purse was basically abandoned at the door once we arrived at Greg and Rosanna's house. Much gratitude to our pal Casey for driving us there and back!
The stuff:
The sandals were perfect for standing around till 1am scarfing down chocolate and cheese and chatting.
Bold bling:
Me, Ali, Shelley and Rosanna with the camera.
The usual suspects.
We'd noticed what we thought was a roof ornament when we arrived, only to quickly discover...it was a real owl!
Wait, I want to take some pics too.
Getting my phone out of my pocket.
I was more transfixed by watching the owl than taking pictures.
I hope Rosanna got some good ones.
We went to the front yard after this to get a better shot.
See how close she is to the party on the deck?
Look over here, please!
And now, off to enjoy my Sunday with my fam.
Whateley, perhaps a little LESS relaxed?
She ruffled her feathers and soared off over the yard, landing on a distant Garry Oak. So very cool.
And now, off to enjoy my Sunday with my fam.
These two have been racing around and wrestling.
All tuckered out.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend! Thank you so much for being here.
I like the Friday outfit, the blouse works well as a jacket and I like the red socks peeking out to echo the top. The brunch outfit is neat, too. I was reminded that around 13 years old I had a child’s purse that had a snakeskin design! The cats are encouraging you to nap. I would envy anyone who could have a good night’s sleep, too. I never saw a long bomber jacket before. It is a wonderful cover up for a cool evening. A very attractive party outfit. Imagine seeing that owl - what a surprise!
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun outfit for the office on a Friday. Oh, how cool, you had a snakeskin purse! It probably WAS snakeskin (if you're in my age range or older).
DeleteI had a very long nap on Saturday, so the cats' influence is rubbing off on me!
Isn't the long bomber cool? Thanks so much. I know! The owl was amazing!
Beautiful outfits. My favourite is the one with the asymmetrical maxi denim skirt and a top. So hot!
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit for Nick's birthday celebration! It drapes so perfectly and also is just the right length so heels are not needed. And then there's the gorgeous duster, er bomber jacket as you call it (but it looks like a duster!) Kudos to the Great Horned Owl for knowing a good party when it sees one. ;-) Hoping if you have an even better picture from Rosanna that it will be in a forthcoming post (all of which I am about to read!) Cheers, Laurie
