Black and Gray And A Cloudy Day. The cloudy days have beauty too – they are quieter and more thoughtful. Today was a cloudy day, and I dressed to reflect it. Yesterday we helped our friend Bryan send his beloved dog Iris to the Rainbow Bridge. A marvelous old girl of sixteen years, and of the finest, sweetest disposition. Rest in peace, and heavenly doggie treats for her.
Welcome to Visible Monday. If you want to participate, it’s so easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the how-to. Link back to Not Dead Yet Style if you like – we’re on Easy Does It “rules” now! |
A black leather jacket is a closet staple. It always makes an outfit more city, more polished. This one by Danier was found in a thrift shop in Vancouver and picked for me by the talented Suzanne (go see her fab vintage store here). The divine black and white vintage maxi skirt is from Kinky Melon, Vix’s shop.
Underneath is a simple gray cotton sweater from J. Crew Factory. It has a zebra on the upper left chest, but he’s hidden by the jacket. It was an Impossible Hair Day (you’ve had them too?) so I added a black knit cap.

Thank you, lovely Elle. I saw that Manhattan had a brief warm spell, how nice! xox
I am sorry for you and your friend’s loss. Pets are a part of the family unit and it can be hard to lose them. I think you pulled off this black and gray look very well. I really love the skirt and the fact you wore a leather jacket with it.
Thank you Lanae. We do love our pets like family and they’re so good to us.
I enjoyed your “beige with a pop of color” – great looks. xox
So sorry about your loss! 🙁
You look amazing in that skirt, such a gorgeous piece! Thanks for the linkup. Kisses

Thank you, Vale. And you look gorgeous in your vivid orange sweater. xox
A sad day when you say goodbye to a much loved dog – they’re part fo the family. Also that’s a great jacket and love that neat hat of yours x
Thank you, Penny.
And I love your animal print dresses, and sparkly skirt! xox
Your comment about ‘cloudy days’ is a beautiful sentiment.
We all ache a little at the thought of losing a pet so thank you for sharing your sadness.
You look great in a hat!
Thank you Fiona, for your kind words, and for coming by. Have a lovely week ahead, xox.
Sorry to hear about the loss of a beloved pet. X You look great in this skirt and I hear you on the hat days. I have just decided I need some hats in my life. Thanks for hosting. Jacqui Mummabstylish
Thanks Jacqui. I enjoyed getting to know more about you in your Sunshine Award questions, that was fun! xox
So sorry to hear about your friend’s dog—I’d be absolutely devastated if that happened to me. You are a good friend. And on a happier note, I absolutely love this outfit—the contrast of the edgy leather jacket and the boho printed maxi skirt is just so good!

Thank you, Ann. Yes they are definitely members of the family, who love us unconditionally. xox
That leather jacket! What a great find, a wonderful brand! I love this look and the long patterned skirt is lovely on you Patti!

Thank you Cherie. Your new line of bags looks fantastic, congratulations. xox
You are kind to support your friend with letting his Iris go. A lot of people don’t give much credence to the grief that accompanies the loss of a beloved animal friend. My deepest sympathy and condolences to your friend.
That’s a fine, somber but very hip ensemble (that skirt!!) and I hear you with challenging hair days. For me, one of the advantages of working from home IS being able to wear a cap or a turban on just such days. Could never do that in the office.
Thank you, Cee – it sounds like you truly understand the way we love our pets.
And thanks for sharing your Bad Hair Day solutions! xox
That’s a great outfit. Love the skirt and the jacket! Perfect for a cloudy winter day.
Thanks, Julie! I appreciate you sharing your dressing room! xox
I am so sorry to read about Iris and am glad you were there to support your friend.
Thank you Jennie.
You look fab in your python print – it plays up your cool pink hair! xox
sorry to read about Iris, so sad! but good memories can help you to go through this sad moment!.
Lovely outfit and lovely rainy inspiration, as I can see the print of your skirt as rain drops, it adds movement and interest!. I totally agree on your jacket adding an urban vibe!, you totally rock in it!.
And impossible hair days are another reason to love a hat!. You look cute!
besos
Thank you, dear Sra. Your cold-weather outfit is perfectly layered and the boots look just right! xo
So sorry for the loss of Iris…you are a good friend. I do love this look; the outfit is so chic and the realness of your face is beautiful. xo

Always sad to part with a fur baby, may she enjoy those doggie treats over the rainbow.I do love this outfit, the jacket is so good with that wonderful skirt and the little hat the perfect finishing touch.
Thank you, Jill. I’m loving your Japanese-inspired outfit and parasol, xox.
I love the outfit–a great mix of soft (the skirt) and tough (the jacket).
Sending sympathy for Iris.
Thank you, TOF, you’re very kind. And thanks for coming by today xox.
Oh it is so very said to say goodbye to pets.
That is some fabulous skirt and how good maxi looks on you!
thank you, Nancy. You are a gorgeous Lady in Red today, xox.
How sad Patti. I have two elderly dogs with cancer and it’s emotional. What a good friend you are being there at such a time. Love your grey day outfit, very cool xx
Thank you, Maria, for your kindness.
I’m loving your floral skirt styled for winter! xox
Oh I am so sorry to hear Patti. It is always so heartbreaking to lose a furry member of the family. So sorry to hear about Iris.
Hugs,

Thank you Suzanne for the kind words, and for sharing your great style with us, xox.
Aw, losing a member of your furry fam is just the worst. Good vibes to you and your friends, Patti.
Will be joining you shortly in my disco dress! Thank you so much for hosting.
Thank you Sheila. Your disco dress is all the things! xox
Loosing a pet is like loosing a member of your family. I totally understand the sadness behind it.

Thank you Anna.
You look fab in your peacock wrap dress! xox
I love this look. Love that print maxi, the top, that leather jacket—-the little black knit hat. Everything. So
Thanks Becky. Love your retro birthday pics, and your adorable kiddos, xox
You look like a New Yorker here. I can see how this outfit represents the grey feelings in your heart this week. Your friend was lucky to have you there to share the sorrow of losing a furry family member. ((((( Patti )))))

thank you Suzanne. It’s a privilege to be there for our friends, yes? xox
I love your Maxi skirt. It is so unique and chic. I have never seen a design like that on a maxi skirt and I am in love . The gray top looks beautiful with it. Leather jacket completes it.

thanks so much, Rama! Have a lovely week ahead, xox
You look very New York in this outfit Patti! Love that skirt.

Kellyann
Thanks Kellyann! Love your description of the Downton Abbey Exhibit – I hadn’t heard of it. Have a great week. xox
Awww, the rainbow bridge. I hadn’t heard the term before. Sweet dreams, doggie girl. And look at you wearing clothes from your buyers all over the world! Way to go.
Thanks Pao. Love your red coat and whole monochromatic look, very warm (did not want to say “cool” after you’ve been Vortex’ed). xox
Well, this is a great look, although a sad occasion. The knit hat with leather and the skirt mixes it up just right. Saying good-bye to a loved companion is a hard, hard thing to do. The grief cannot be denied.
Thanks, Mel. You’re so right about the grief – you gotta work though it. xox
What a fab leather jacket. Such an attractive shape. I’m living in grey sweater s at the moment. Last year it was cream.
Thanks Anna! I love, love your tulle skirt. xox
That always makes for a sad day or days, Patti. Sending tons of love to all!!

I’m sorry to read about Iris. They really become members of our family, we spend so much time with our furry family members. More than the human ones sometimes!
On a superficial note, this has to be one of my favourite outfits on you, Patti. I love it all. xx
Thank you dear Lisa for all your kind words! And thanks for linking up. xox
