Today, I have my hair in rolls again and instead of leaving the back section down, I rolled it into a roll using a hair comb (my hair is kind of dirty due to my overuse of heat spray yesterday):
I am wearing a rust-colored scoop neck, pointelle-knit sweater from Anthropologie that I bought in 2006. My necklace is a resin piece made my me. My earrings are vintage repro that I bought in 2005 for only 10.00 USD. I am also wearing a 50s plaid wool pencil skirt, black tights, and my new TUK kitty shoes.
On my right arm, I am wearing my slowly-expanding bakelite bangle collection:
The carved butterscotch bangle on the far right is my first carved piece! I so want more now! Holly from Temperamental Broad has an amazing collection of bakelite bangles! Oh, what a dream it would be to have bangles like these:

So, on this cold winter day what are you wearing?
Love love love the kitty shoes. I defaulted to semi-classic today, since work projects mean I have be be up and down on the floor all day. Black rib knit v-neck shirt, black cabled 3/4 sleeve cardigan, grey & black houndstooth pencil skirt, black tights, saddle shoes, and my teensy gold mouse brooch.
ReplyDeleteKate,
ReplyDeleteYour outfit sounds very, very cute! I was going to wear my saddles today too but I felt like wearing my new kitty shoes instead! I think I am more than likely going to be wearing boots tomorrow since they are calling for snow/rain mix here! Icky! Be careful!
I don't have class on Wednesdays so on this nasty rainy day, I am lucky to still be in my PJs ;D
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteI am in my gym clothes today! I am working from home and then it's off to the gym before the snow starts again. They are calling for heavy snow tonight and the Richmond area is going to get sleet. (I just talked to my mom in Mechanicsville) So, if it's icy tomorrow, be careful!
My Mom's in DC herself, and was telling me about all the snow forcasts there! Luckily she can work from home when she needs to also. Hopefully everyone can stay warm and safe!
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteThe snow is really coming down now! I went to the gym and on the way back, I saw a few cars after they spun out! I am going no where tonight for sure!
You look great! Thanks for the link to my blog too :-) Before you know it you'll have a good collection of bangles too. You just have to keep looking for those fabulous deals!
ReplyDeleteYou look great! The hair is gorgeous and I love your kitty shoes and earrings!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Holly! You are welcome about the link! Your blog is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAs for the bakelite, I have been hunting for some nice pieces for a good price. There are some pretty, carved bangles out there but a lot of them are expensive! I saw a lovely oxblood carved bangle in a vintage store in Richmond and the seller wanted 200 USD! I was floored!!
Thanks, Melzaelf! I am happy with my blond being back! My kitty shoes are perfect and comfortable! I am so glad Endless.com sent a new pair!
ReplyDeleteLove the blonde in your hair and your carved bangle! I need to start expanding my Bakelite collection too. It's too bad there aren't any vendors in Richmond that don't sell them for an arm and a leg! *sigh*
ReplyDeleteCrafty Doll,
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about bakelite and Richmond! I was in Bygones in Carytown over the summer and I spotted a beautiful carved bangle but it was nearly 200 USD! I wanted it so bad but 200 is way too much! I love Bygones and their selection is wonderful but their merchandise is priced really high. But that is typical of most places in Carytown.
Thanks for the compliment about my hair. I am still experimenting with styles/hair parts. Today, however, I am being lazy: it is covered in a snood.
