I Was a Teenaged Dress Week - Casual Friday - Dress and Jeans

Ah, Dress Week...how I will miss your sweet constraints.

I rarely repeat outfits, but I loved this dress and jeans combo the last time I wore it, so I did it again (with different shoes and accessories, of course! ).
I've actually been waiting to wear this awesome necklace that I found at the Bay a few weeks back. Check it out:

Rar! It's like some crazy metal teeth!

Love the black platforms and my stud cuff.

Have a fab weekend!

Dress (Le Chateau, thrifted), jeans (Esprit), shoes (JLo), necklace (the Bay), cuff (old), white gold earrings (gift from L).

I Was a Teenaged Dress Week - Yellow and Black

I wanted to get one more wear out of this gorgeous dress before cold weather sets in. This butter yellow cotton/poly eyelet is just not cold weather-friendly.
I quite liked it with the checked jacket and 50s-era accessories. If I look unimpressed, it is because this is a morning picture - I had a dentist appointment this afternoon, so I took the bus to work. Oh joy.

No "stuff"picture, but it's fairly clear what the stuff is from in the above photo, I think: black kitten heel shoes, black bracelet, black belt and black earrings.

Off to book club!

Dress (no label, consignment), jacket (Smart Set), shoes (Wild Diva), belt (Plum), bracelet (Le Chateau), earrings (the Cobbler).

I Was a Teenaged Dress Week - The Return of the Brown Boots

I'm really jonesing for fall - and I'm digging into the depths of my closet for my boots. I really wanted to do these boots with this dress before it got too cold (as the dress is not lined, and will stick to tights).
Added the cardi for warmth in my frigid office, Grandma J's necklace and that was all I needed with this bold pattern. Probably won't wear this dress again for a while as the hem came down today and I am notoriously lazy about repairs...yeah, yeah, I'll get to it.

The stuff:

Yup, that's stuff all right.

Dress (no label, thrifted, vintage), cardigan (Jacob), boots (Roberto Vianni), necklace (Listner, Grandma J's, vintage), earrings (gift from L).

I Was a Teenaged Dress Week - Black, Grey and Purple

This is my fifth Dress Week since I started doing my blog! It follows:

• Dress Week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) - May 2008
• Return of Dress Week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) - September 2008
• It Came From Dress Week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) - January 2009
• Son of Dress Week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) - May 2009

Looks like I am right on schedule.
If I look vaguely annoyed it is because I had two incidents today that soured my mood. One, I dropped this bracelet IN THE TOILET after using it. Thank goodness yellow is mellow...and yes, I scrubbed thoroughly.

Two, I got a run in my tights:

Awwwwwww...these were such a good colour, and I loved the stripes down the legs. Now I have to go find more purple tights.

The stuff:

Rockin' silver booties! Oak leaf bracelet ($12 in a thrift store while on holiday), button, and silver earrings.

A close-up of the oak leaves and the button:

I love the 50s pulp novel look of the button (it was $2 at the Fair). The bracelet is not in great condition (and it opens too easily, grrrr), but hey, only $12.

Stay tuned! I Was a Teenaged Dress Week will continue!
