Love her bag. Love her belt.

And especially love her necklace.

But we think this leather skirt might have belonged to my friend’s grade five teacher in ’86.

We can be sure where the shirt came from, though. It was my husband’s up until the drycleaner shrunk the sleeves.
Sonja, for insisting I buy a jumpsuit. And Melissa, who introduced me to Pesky Peacocks where I got it.


I should also thank my ma and sis for the necklace I’m wearing — I made it using my mom’s pendant from the sixties and pretty, pretty stones from my sister’s collection.

Thanks team.
This is what my friend Anji wore to a Saturday morning brunch a little while ago.

Love the colours and layers and textures. Take a look at another one of her outfits here.
It reached the floor and the overlay flapped around wildly with every move I made.

It seems so much subtler now that I’ve had it shortened. And with the belt, the overlay is much less unruly.

Many of you have told me you love the before and after shots. This, alas, is a lonely “after” with no “before”. But if you want to see my favourite favourite favourite “after”, it’s right here.

One of my (many) favourite vintage scarves makes anything cozy.

Some of my other favourites can be found here.
Does it get any better?

Love how layers of the same(ish) colour look.

Especially when they’re purple and purply grey (which is, coincidentally, the colour I painted my dining room table).
With all the vintage furs and brooches and shawls at the opera (are they considered vintage if you bought them new 40 years ago?), this dress begged to be worn.

I got it at Deluxe Junk in gastown last summer.

And had it shortened significantly so I could wear it in LA.

P.S. Rigoletto was absolutely incredible.
