All the Blues, Times Two!

Hello, my friends,  must rush as I have to feed the cats and head out to Book Club.
I built this outfit around this new-to-me cardigan. 

  • Global cardigan - no label, consignment; purchased here for $20.00
  • Sleeveless top - Helmut Lang, thrifted; last seen here in March with velvet pants and an orange blazer
  • Woven tweed skirt - Talbots, thrifted; last worn here (3rd outfit) in January in an NFL-forward brunch outfit
  • Shoes - MJUS, consignment; last seen here in July when I got half the outfit right
  • Sneakers (below) - Adidas Adiracer, consignment; first worn here in October with SLEEEVES
  • Suede coat (below) - Tadmor, vintage 60s, vintage mall; last seen here in February

This skirt was a perfect not-quite-perfect-match-but-sooooo-close. 
I'd considered blue tights, but I'm glad I went with grey. 

Incognito, and all dressed in blue! 
It was chilly in the morning - we're still in Leather Weather, so this thick vintage suede coat is wonderful. 

I never walk around like this, ha ha.
Although I did dash out and buy some flowers with just the coat on. We have VIPs in our office tomorrow from Head Office and I wanted a little extra welcoming vibe.  

But for Book Club, I turned the cardigan inside out! 
And switched to my bright blue Adiracer Weird Adidas shoes! Much better for walking to Yvonne's. 

The stuff: 
It's all very blue. 

  • Angora beret - Parkhurst, vintage, thrifted
  • Star pin - consignment
  • Gloves - Dots
  • Silk scarf - Halston, vintage, consignment

Matchy bling: 
The pattern of the cardigan is very busy, and it's poppy season (Remembrance Day, Nov 11), so no brooches. 

  • Filigree cuff - St. Paul's Cathedral, London, 2010
  • Hinged crystal cuff - Swarovski, consignment, gift from L
  • Fulvia Ring and Lapis Lazuli ring - both Wendy Brandes
  • Earrings - local

A good look at the shoes. 
The lines echo the longitudes and latitudes in my sweater! 

No Whateley pictures, but Barnabas was making himself known this morning. 
Just chilling while I do my make-up. 

I can hear him purring. 
"I love you."

Such a sweet kitty!
