Fabularsenic! And Turnip Head. And The Shelley.

Yeah, it's kind of like Janet Leigh in the shower scene in Psycho, that moment you look down and realize exactly what you've put on.

I wore them. I did, a couple of days ago. Under my maxi wool turtleneck dress, from Talize thrift store, which I bought a couple of years ago when Suzanne Carillo and Sue, A Colourful Canvas, and I met up. The leg garment was purchased a couple of years before that at a different thrift store. Sometimes I wear them around home but they felt really warm under this dress. Because of the pants, I would call this a fabularsenic look -

- except the magic loupe O made for me, which is always AWESOME. You can be my twin and get one at his Etsy shop HERE.

But they are bell bottoms. How can I freak out about that? Plus, I look like a leetle froggie sitting on a lily pad in that photo. 

Below is a sketch that shows you the outerwear I had on. Frankly, I could have been wearing ragged thermal underwear under this Welsh wool maxi cape and nobody would be the wiser. 

And Happy Year of the Dog!! I celebrated with this sketch.

I'm carrying my lunch-bag handbag. My hair was down and I wore my dark navy beret. I remember back in the day when I wore my beret almost daily, hence, the name of this blog. And I was going to wear a bag over my head for my blog photos until I realized that the beret wouldn't stay on top of the bag. 

The birds on the bike were inspired by the dozens of pigeons that now roost on the city's bike-share bicycles at the docking station they erected in the pigeon's main hang-out downtown. Good luck with that. Maybe if they put spikes on the seats...

Below, what I wore today, Monday, Feb. 19. 

This outfit is called The Shelley because it features the fan-freakintastic coat and sequins from Shelley of Forest City Fashionista. The skirt is actually a mini-dress, but it was too cold for that so I pulled it down and used the darts for my buttocks - the cup size was a bit too small (that's a first!). The whole thing was kept up with suspenders and hidden by my "I am my own brand" DIY T-shirt and another shirt under that.

Sequin magic. You must see this in sunlight to appreciate its floral splendour.

The world is topsy-turvy. So I had to pose like this. Anything to keep me entertained - and filthy.

The sleeves. With my silk velvet scarf, so good.

And below, a Turnip Head sketch with The Shelley coat (by Danier), worn with turquoise flocked Anthro pants. Suzanne has a pair just like them. And my fitted satin black jacket, a $5 find at My Sister's Closet. I want Kitty's thong sandals.

The cold snap makes me want to nap with Kitty.

I wore that napping outfit the day I took photos with a couple of my paintings, late January. I look different here, probably because I have become one with the work behind me. That's an acrylic and oil pastel piece. I bought that top at a thrift shop after an audition, as a reward for not self-combusting with humiliation.

And there you have it. That's my week, friends.

I shall link up with Patti at Not Dead Style and her Visible Monday. And also with Catherine at Not Dressed as Lamb for her #iwillwearwhatilike.

Big hugs for visiting!!!!! Thank you so much.

PS. I decided I'd also like to post my kitty drawing to Catherine's Saturday Share Link Up, where you can post anything you like. That's great!
