Wearing Pink and Officer Vizzini on the Lookout

I wore this same jacket last year (here). My outfit's a little blander today because I had a lot of physical work to do, getting the new office set up. I was at work tonight until 9pm working on documents, floor plans, etc. and I'll be working late again tomorrow night for the actual move.

I'm fond of velvet in general, and of this jacket in particular. I love the dusty pink colour and it's a very soft cotton velvet. Also, mondo-ruching is always fun. I last wore it here (2nd outfit) in October 2013 with burgundys and purples.

The floral blouse underneath was last seen in August 2013 (here). It's a slightly dated style (those little puffy sleeves are so 2007!), but I still like the mix of colours.

The skirt is a bias cut soft grey with a pinstripe, and excellent Swoosh Factor. At least an 8. I wore it last here in December 2013.

My boots are my standard riding style ones (last seen here (2nd outfit) a couple of weekends ago) that need replacing. Hmmm...it's nearly time for L and I to make our annual pilgrimage to Fluevog in Vancouver! Melanie, are you in for meeting for another boozy brunch?

The stuff:
Simple pieces that didn't get in the way while I was out and about.

Blazer (Nougat, consignment), blouse (Esprit, consignment), skirt (Planet, thrifted), boots (Aldo, consignment), necklace (Shi Studio), earrings (don't remember).

I was actually running early this morning, so of course I stopped to take some kitty pictures.

"No, leave me alone! I'm sleeping!"

Bah, he has all day to sleep while I'm at work!

Such a face!

"Who dares disturb my slumber?!"

There was some chin-scratching and belly tickling (followed by claws and bitey, but in a playful way). He then got distracted by the seagulls on the neighbouring building's roof.

"Gotta go, ma'am. Protecting the neighbourhood, you know."

And off I go as well.
