I felt like getting in another wearing of this velvet and silk tunic.
It won't stay out for fall/winter - that black pattern is all velvet. Can you imagine the Velvet Rage?
The last time I wore this tunic, I layered a bright orange camisole under it.
This time, it's a matching lemon yellow cotton tank (not tracked, but it's an Eileen Fisher).
I loved wearing this licorice black skirt again - it just hangs straight, with no clinginess at all, and it's SO stretchy!
Incognito.
I slightly missed having gloves in the morning, but it was 17 and sunny on the way home.
The stuff:
Such a good scarf.

They tumble all over the floor.
I wore the same necklace the last time I wore that top.

Kitties wrestling! They are silent and there are no claws.
Barnabas is usually the instigator.
The paw ventures over...and then Whateley springs.
L and I hung out on Friday night, playing games and chilling with the boys, then he was up early for his Ultimate Frisbee game, and I played around in my closet, building some outfits for the coming week, and getting ready for brunch at John's Place afterwards.
I've been waiting for it to be cool enough to layer this thin cotton sweater under the dress. Finally!
A better look at the sequined plaid.
I've never layered anything under it before - what was I waiting for?
The blue tights were not this BLUE in real life.
Incognito.
A few accoutrements for the slight chill in the air.
The stuff:
These boots are a commitment! That's a lot of hooks and no zipper.
- Leather knapsack - vintage, thrifted
- Leather gloves - Echo, consignment
- Wool "Scardigan" - Mister Ease, vintage 50s, thrifted
The scarf belongs to L (I bought it for him years ago) - it's by 1950s dressing gown company Mister Ease by Rochester, and it has a small buttoned pocket at each end, and it buttons together at the front, giving you a flat scarf covering with two pockets! Amazing!
Black bling:
He just goes fully limp - and he's a solid boy!
Whateley's on one side of the couch...
I'm feeling ready for fall, can you tell?
- Leather cuff - Guess, thrifted
- Studded leather cuff - vintage 90s
- Silver/onyx spider ring - 1986, gift from Mom & Dad
- Silver snake ring - 1986, BC Museum Gift Shop
- Hammered silver ring - consignment, Sidney
- Jet/crystal necklace - vintage 50s, Grandma J's
- Crystal earrings - thrifted
Checking in on Whateley before I headed down to meet L at the field.
What a sweet boy.
And Barnabas REALLY wanted to be picked up and cuddled.
Helping us while we hang out.
...and Barnabas is at the other.
Always with his head upside down! What a little weirdo.
We had our pals Cat and Ross over for a rousing game of Arkham Horror - we won!
Well, that's all I got this weekend! Hope you had a lovely one - thank you so much for being here.
Swooning for your silver loopy ring. :-) Am sure I've shared this tale in at least one of my comments over the years, that of having a similar ring and then not having it, likely left behind in some public bathroom or someone's home after washing my hands. Ah, mourning the loss of a treasured ring!
ReplyDeleteIt seems your accessories are calling to me in this post because am intrigued by L's scarf with the two pockets and buttoning at the front. Also those fabulous blue tights regardless of how blue they are, and your red gloves.
Not sure if I mentioned in a previous comment, but Emma said to Robin that coming home to Frankie and Gigi makes their apartment feel homey. As you well know, cats can have that effect! :-)
Cheers, Laurie
You always mention that one. :-) But it is a good ring! Oh, and the scardigan! Isn't that wild? I could not find another one online at all. I'll have to steal this one again and demonstrate the "proper" way of wearing it.
DeleteI'm happy to see colourful tights trending again (not that I care - you know I'll wear them anyway, lol).
YES! Coming home to two little furballs is so nice. Whateley usually comes running (he's more food-motivated), but Barnabas doesn't usually get up.
I like the yellow and black combo and I love the idea of wearing a sequin dress to go to the grocery store after brunch. I remember when we had our cats and they were young, I held a meeting at my house and they embarrassed me by wrestling in the middle of the gathering!
ReplyDeleteThank you! and yes, why not wear sequins for grocery shopping?
DeleteCats are incredibly entertaining, aren't they?
I love that you and L have games night. What games do you love the most? X
ReplyDeleteArk Nova! It's a zoo-building game, and we know so much about animals now! And of course, Arkham Horror (out of print).
DeleteWhoa, that tunic is terrific!
ReplyDeleteLovely tunic in fab lemon and geometric pattern and matchy boots!, Totally understand you about VelvetRage!
ReplyDeleteBut it's that Sequined Plaid which stole the show!, totally my kind of thing and I love particularly how you styled it, love the layering, the green pullover and So Fab Boots (sorry they're so difficult to put on/off). And also fab plaid and red accessories!, You Rock!!
