Weekend Outfits - A Bit of This and That

A quiet weekend, which is just what I needed. I went to my regular WW meeting, and dressed light as usual: This is a new-to-me dress that I picked up last weekend on the 1/2 price rack at a consignment store for $11.50. I like the really drapey construction (it has an elastic waist) and it has beautiful movement when I walk.

The purse is also new-to-me. Got it for $20.98 at the same store - not bad for a Matt & Nat! I was practically willing Spring to be here in my bare legs - I had cold feet for most of the day.

I went shopping afterwards - I'd planned to go to Ellen's Bonspiel open house (the designer who made my cool blue jacket from last week), but the door was locked when I got there.

I continued on with my main goal of bra shopping. I loath bra shopping, but at least this dress made it less of an ordeal: I can just slide out of the top half of it. The dress will work perfectly for my next tatttoo which I've been planning. Now that I have a job, I'll get it scheduled, probably for the summer.

My shoes were not the most comfortable for a day of shopping, but at least they looked good (last seen here).

Coat (Plum), dress (Lady Dutch, consignment), shoes (Feraglicious), belt (Dorothy Perkins), necklace (Foxy), bag (Matt & Nat, consignment).

It rained on and off all day, but I have hope for Spring as the Japanese plum and cherry trees are in bloom:

I love the smell of them.

Today, L and I went out for lunch and got groceries:

Second wear of my OTK socks. *sigh* I wish this was the last wearing of my boots...

Cardigan (Kensie), scarf (Club Monaco), t-shirt (TMT), jeans (Jackpot, swap from Caro), socks (Steve Madden), boots (Aldo, consignment), bag (Licence 71195).

For those of you who have mentioned it, yes, indeedy, I am in the Huffington Post! Pretty cool - thanks again, Wendy! You rule!

Casual Friday - Python Jacket

My new-to-me leather jacket with stamped python.
Working the rocker chick look (the usual). Jeans, ruffled black shirt, loads of chains, plain black booties, and L's belt that I grabbed at the last minute. To my relief, reactions to the jacket were actually pretty positive. I was a little worried that people would loathe it. As Ruth so accurately put it, "It's hideously fabulous!"

The chestal region and all the chains.

The stuff:

I liked the mess of chains -I felt that really made this look work.

Now, I'm not a brand snob. If this jacket had had no label in it at all, I would still have bought it due to the nice quality and fit (not to mention the price: $24.99). But I love it when it turns out to be a good brand.

Happy weekend!

Jacket (Bebe, thrift), shirt (Oxmo), jeans (Seven7, swap from Caro), boots (Rinaldi), chains (Plum and Jacob), belt (Le Chateau for Men, L's, gift from me), white gold hoop earrings.
