42, the Meaning of Life, the Universe, and Everything

I haven't been blogging because I've been socializing and getting older.

On the night of May 14th, I went out to a concert - the Airborne Toxic Event. I'm sure you've all heard of them but in case you haven't here's a video of their song All I Ever Wanted.

So the outfit I wore to work was possibly more appropriate for a ROCK AND ROLL concert!

Dress: Emily Ryan (last worn here)
Shoes: Messeca (last worn the same day)


The necklace was a gift from my sister for my birthday which is from Missy Industry. It has a razor blade, bone, chain, and pill capsule on it.

I'm not sure I like this mullet type dress much anymore. Maybe I could get it shortened to one length at some point.

My BIRTHDAY! I turned 42. WHOOOT!  So I got a bit dressed up!  And it was also Fluevog Day so I went to the Queen Street store with a coworker and bought the shoes I'm wearing in this photo.

Blouse: from Winners
Dress: Jonathan Martin (last worn here)
Shoes: Fluevog Bellevues | Laura Evans

I've never really been interested in these shoes before but when I went to the store, they seemed to be a good choice because they matched my outfit.

I bought this body chain from a store pretty close to my apartment called Armed. I really like the detail on the back. Like pearls.

M birthday dinner was at a restaurant called The Saint and I had a few cocktails. Yum yum!

Spatty

Sorry about the lengthy disappearance. I went home to go to my mother's 70th birthday party. WHOOO!
 
I think it's pretty well documented that I have a love of buttony, spatty, boots. I happen to own a few pairs.

So when I came across this pair of Fluevog booties that are no longer available, in my size, it made sense that I would want to add them to my collection. What can I say? I'm greedy.

Top: Anthropologie (last worn here)
Skirt: Krista Larsen (last worn here)
Boots: Fluevog Bellevues | Ida Clark

These boots are from Fluevog's vegan collection. They are canvas and fabric. I think I'm going to get some clear nail polish to keep the fabric near the zipper from fraying.

I like how the fabric looks like mattress ticking or seersucker.  It gives them kind of a old world feel.

I wore another pin that I got from Vitamin G on etsy. Maybe not entirely work appropriate but I wasn't meeting with anyone from the public or senior management today. The woman who owns the coffee shop in my building said "She looks like you!"  Ha!  I wish.

Lastly, I wore my new mouse ring. So sweet and it matches my tattoo.

I'm glad to be back! I'll be here all week. 

And soldiers coming home like shadows turning red

I'm so glad that it's cool enough again to wear this dress. Looking back at previous wears I notice that I tend to wear it with these tights.

Tights: Sock Dreams
Boots: Fluevog Bellevue | Libby Smith (last worn here)

Funny story. Someone found that blog post by searching for "booty huge pants". That's a very specific search. I'm glad it wasn't "huge booty pants".

 
Look! I turned around to show you my other hip. I'm a mad woman.

After work today I went to the main shopping street downtown to buy a pair of shoes. When I went into the store the sale person asked me if I was wearing Fluevogs. I said "of course"! Then I was asked from where I was visiting. They didn't believe that I was a local.  That was quite a confidence boost. Not that Haligonians aren't cool, but it made me feel "fashionable". Or something.

This dress is actually a smidge too big now.  Maybe someone will find this post by searching for "booty huge dress".

The dancers spinning in the mirror ball

There was almost no blog today but I am so dedicated to you, my loyal readers, that I went above and beyond to make it happen!

I got home from work, changed, fed the cats, put in a load of laundry (this rock and roll lifestyle is going to kill me) and grabbed my camera so I could process my photos.

No memory card.

Memory card was sitting on the coffee table.

My computer won't talk to my camera.

CONUNDRUM!

So I got redressed so I could take new photos.  Don't say I never did nothin' for y'all!

Dress: Dress in Time - it's not really vintage, probably from the 1990s
Belt: Le Chateau
Slip: ?
Shoes: Fluevog Bellevues | DeVere

I debated these boots for a while this morning. Do they go, are they too much but decided I wanted to wear them so I didn't care if they went or not.

The back isn't much different from the front but here it is. Butt shot!

I was looking at my neighbour's yard because they have a sunflower in their garden that's about 12 feet tall. Pretty gorgeous!
