I tried to sleep last night but I’ve caught your dreaming

I hesitate to post this photo because it's not great but I took about 15 shots and this is the best of the bunch. I look tired and that's because I am a bit. I didn't sleep very well last night and ended up getting up at my normal early time even though I had the day off. And then I ran around meeting with friends and having some very interesting conversations. It was a lovely day but I'm tired.


Nothing new here. These tights are becoming my go to item of choice.

Sweater: Pretty Things Boutique
T-shirt: Lilith in Paris
Skirt: ?
Tights: H&M
Shoes: Messeca (from Capezio in Toronto)

Hopefully I'll get some sleep and look less droopy-eyed the rest of the weekend.























Here's a song to start your weekend.

Gaultier does Degas

I got home from work, feeling a little stressed, and was happy to have a package from Sheila with the fabulous lime green pants, a very cool ring, and a comic book made by her friend. Thanks S! Perfect timing. You're awesome!

Here's the skirt that I gave a sneak peek to earlier last week.


Jacket: Lilith
Shirt: Joe Fresh
Skirt: Jean-Paul Gaultier (thrifted)
Shoes: Messeca (from Capezio in Toronto)

Business on top, party on the bottom!

I love Lilith's clothing and I got this jacket on eBay for $51.00. That's an insane price. And I thrifted this skirt!  Who could possibly have given it up?


The skirt is so pretty - ballet dancers! I used to take ballet lessons and had dreams of trying out for the Royal Winnipeg Ballet but that was never going to become reality.

I finally saw a ballet, La Sylphide, in Washington DC in 2009 and it was amazing. Brought tears to my eyes because it was so beautiful.



Here's the back so you can see stripes going in different directions.

I bought these shoes in Toronto last weekend from Capezio. They are a brand that I'd never heard of before but I was drawn to the pointy toe, straps, velvet fabric and the unique piece on the heel.

Today my coworker said that these were less extravagant than my usual shoes. I think they are pretty funky myself.

Pointy!
