Be Red Or Be Dead........

We're going to the Lobo game tonight, I'm a tad apprehensive. Ancient leather jacket. Haven't gotten to the red part yet.
Sublime blouse from Toad Road, I love the 50's style print.

This is the interesting part, it's split completely down the back. Buttons at top and bottom.

Here's my red action, red jeans with ankle zippers,am I ready for the gladiator pit? I'm steeling myself. Go Lobos!

Dot Dot Dot...........

Simply divine Rothmoor vintage jacket from Off Broadway, Rothmoor was evidently a very prestigious label in Europe in the 40's, Scottish I believe.

The 40's really paid homage to detail.

Pins from Wear It and Mati respectively.

Hence the blog name, lace tee from Free People and skirt from Diane Von Furstenberg.
Dot mayhem!

Check out these uber striking kicks by Poetic License. The design reminds me of a 60's automobile for some reason. Wear dots with gusto!

Wide ribbed hose and silver Mary James by Irregular Choice. Is there any hope for this reprobate? Doubtful, very doubtful.......

Ginger Cookie.........

Greetings and salutations what with the imminent encroachment of Xmas. I am sporting a faux jacket, the animal being of unknown origin, antique pin at collar.
This mauve dress reminds me of a ginger cookie, satin top and underskirt, voile skirt with 3 dimensional embroidered flowers. Dashing!

What detail! How beautiful. I love cloths!

Wide mesh white opaques, faux python boots. Have a ginger cookie, not a FAUX one, on me!

Charlotte Bronte Seeks Gainful Xmas Employment............

What with novel sales being a bit sluggish these days, Charlotte tries to find a part time job for Xmas.


Donned in a plethora of cameos, Charlotte steels for her first interview.


This J. Peterman  mole and hot pink velveteen vest is cosy and creates a lot of confidence.

This tulle gored skirt by Nick & Zoe has this beautiful peacock embroidery on the bottom.

                  Pink crocheted hose and putty hued flats, keep your fingers crossed that she gets a job!

Elfin Magic..........


You're not going to believe this one. I feel like Will Farrell in Elf! I don't know what I was thinking, but I didn't have time for a costume change.......


I think this cinnabar necklace by Susan Skinner is the only normal part of this rig.



I look like I might be wearing something from the Ice Capades!


Jiggy huh? Black and white polka dot leggings and red and black stockings underneath. Franco Sarto
zip up black shoes. Can I wrap something for you?

Charles Dickens Carolling Outfit.............

Oh, how much do I LOVE Charles Dickens!
Such a glorious imagination and sublime prose.
Women dressed beautifully back then.

Such splendidly ornate detail.


This sale frock from Anthropologie is reminiscent of that period, shouldn't I be carolling in the streets
with others?

Rose and dot hose and Dickensian shoe boots. I think the era would approve.
