I didn't have any GB at home to wear...so I dug into my own closet, which is vast. I grabbed this cute frock at Torrid while picking up an online order of leggings from the store...clearance was buy 1, get 2 free...hard to say no to that! I especially adore the ruffles at the neck & waist...& that back is super fun.
It was incredibly windy on this day...so difficult for photos, although the jacket helped keep the ruffles down.
I imagine this jacket was worn by a woman about to retire...then off it went to the thrift store where I found it & made it mine.
My make-up with this outfit included...Urban Decay eyeliner in Overdrive; UD eyeshadow in Bang Bang, Devilish, & Turn On; Year of the Dragon eyeshadow by Mon Ennui Cosmetics; Russian Red lipstick from MAC; & OPI nail polish in Christmas Gone Plaid.
I first wore this outfit to vote with David...then have lunch at Gotham Bagels during Madison Chef Week. Several area chef's make up sandwiches for this annual contest (it was the only event we went to this year). David & I were both sold on the mystery Dan Fox sandwich (Heritage Tavern). I thought...the balls on him to make his sandwich secret when the votes are based on how many people buy your creation. Well, it turns out he didn't get his ingredients to the restaurant, so there was no sandwich. But we sampled four others...Back Over the Wall, The Sardinian, Breakfast with Banh Mi (David's favorite), & Bendix Diner (my fav). But they were all ridiculously delicious.
While going over the candidates together in the morning...I was browsing Craig's List & saw this dazzling vintage ornate gold table with a marble top for sale...nearly 2 hours away. David agreed it was glorious & we set up a time to pick it up...which turned out to be the same day...after work at 7:30. It was even more stunning in person *swoon*...this table is totally my thing. While David was loading it up with the husband...the wife kept bringing out other things she thought I might like...those gold metal candelabra are extremely heavy & gorgeous...then came the lamps...& she gave me the marble lamp for free. This woman buys whole storage units & barns full of stuff & keeps all the MCM stuff for herself & sells the rest. She was telling me about an opulent red & gold throne she has stored at her sister's place that she thinks I would completely fall in love with. I told her to text us photos...I think we'll have to poke her because WOW.
I wore this outfit on another day to eat lunch at Brother's Three with David, check out driveway/sidewalk ideas, run errands, work, & pick up fresh eggs at Angie's...Freddie is still cute.
And finally...I wore this dress to bring these amazing windows home from Deconstruction Inc...they were formally from Chocolatarian that burned down last year. We are going to use them for the built-in cabinet in our dining room that we will build to replace the current one.
The first night of The Wisconsin Film Festival 2019!!!
There was Ben & an adorable trailer. The first film was an Icelandic movie called, Woman at War. I highly recommend it.
