But right now, I'm gonna keep my pants on

Remembrance Day is a holiday in Nova Scotia so I got today off since I'm a government worker.  I slept in until 11:00, went out for breakfast with myself, met some friends for tea at a coffee shop and now I'm home watching last night's Boardwalk Empire.

Here's another pair of pants that I have shrunk into.

Sweater: Grace (from Filene's basement in DC)
Pants: RW&Co
Socks: Sock Dreams
Shoes: Fluevog Presence | Impulse (last worn here)

I'm a fan of cropped pants. Mostly because I'm usually wearing socks that deserve to be shown off.

Today is unseasonably warm. I went out without a coat and was more than warm enough. I'm pretty convinced that global climate change is a reality. Poor polar bears.

Back to work tomorrow. :(

Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on

This weekend was hot, which normally I don't mind, but it was also humid which makes me irritable and cranky. I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

It was a long weekend too, like in many other parts of Canada, but the only exciting thing I did was buy a new washing machine. This really is exciting since we've been without one for about 3 weeks now. Our old one does sort of work, it just doesn't spin all the water out of the clothes so it takes almost 2 hours to dry some things in the dryer.

Enough of that thrilling laundry talk!

It's still humid so I just wanted to wear something loose and flowy. 

Blouse: Vero Moda (last worn here)
Skirt: RW&Co (last worn here)
Shoes: Chie Mihara (last worn same day as the blouse)
Necklace: Pretty Chic

I'm not overly thrilled with this but it was comfortable enough. I almost had an embarrassing moment when walking upstairs I stepped on the skirt. Whoops.

I wore these shoes in honour of the Curiosity rover's landing on Mars. Space and science RULE!

My necklace also almost looks like planets. Quite a coincidence.

Tomorrow I'm off to Toronto for 1 1/2 days of meetings. I hope to go and visit the Fluevog store while I'm there. Hopefully I'll find something nice in the sale.

Wild boys never lose it ...

.... but Canada Post does. Still no package. WHAT. THE. HELL!  I know this is 100% a "first world problem" but it's getting a little ridiculous that Canada Post lost my package sometime after letting me know that the package was going to be available that night. I'm starting to believe that when you call Canada Post customer service to complain they put a flag on your file and work to screw you over even worse. *sigh*

Dear Canada Post:

Ever since you decided to merge letter delivery with package delivery everything has been FUBAR! It takes a big person to admit that they have done something wrong. Here is your opportunity to show us how big you can be by stopping this stupid practice and going back to separating these services again. It will be seen as a sign of intelligence.

No love!

Not to mention, my Retail Postal Outlet is now in the Mall. So whenever I go to get a package I come out with things that I buy at MAC or Sephora or some other store. Like last night...

...I bought this skirt. But it was 50% off!

Sweater:  Pretty Things Boutique
T-shirt: Banana Republic via Value Village
Belt: Smoking Lily
Skirt: RW and Co.
Shoes: anthropologie

This skirt is nice and flowy and only cost $25.00. Bargain!

I think this cardigan was my best purchase ever. I wear it so often because it's the perfect colour of red, I like the 3/4 sleeves.

Apparently I haven't worn these shoes on the blog before. I think they are cute and strappy and ... red. I might have an issue with red.

After work I walked to my pedicure appointment and these shoes were not the most comfortable for a 30 minute walk.

Post pedicure I had to wear different shoes.

Red shoes! Red toes!

The pedicure was lovely and relaxing. Unfortunately I smudged the polish on one of the nails. I hate it when that happens.
