Tent dress

I had the day off today so B and I went out for breakfast and then I dropped him off at his studio. I drove downtown to Crimson and Clover to pick up some money from some shoes that they sold for me and once again I broke my vow to run in and get the money and immediately leave.

 (sorry about the crappy photos)

I found a few things on the $5 rack and then I tried on this dress.  Obviously I bought it.

Dress: Gessica Iezzi from Crimson and Clover
Cami: Envy
Shoes: Tn_29 - gravitypope.com

I Googled this brand but I came up empty other than a website that sells accessories in Italy.

The dress has ties inside so you can tie up sections at the front or back or both.

Today it was over 30C so this was actually the coolest outfit that I could wear. I got a nice breeze when I was outside. =)

I think I need to have the straps adjusted but that shouldn't be a very hard task.

I like the gradient colour from the beige to the brown.

Here it is with all the ties untied. It might even look better after it's ironed.

I also went to Value Village and found a April Cornell duster. Usually I find that brand to be a little too precious but the jacket is pretty funky. It has long sleeves though so I'm not sure when I might actually get a chance to wear it.

No smog, just fog

I haven't seen the sun since Wednesday afternoon in Winnipeg. The city has been enveloped in fog for 2 days. I think that our city's new slogan should be NO SMOG, JUST FOG! This is the only place I know where you can have high humidity and cool temperatures.  Hello frizzy hair!

I got dressed today because I went to Tim Hortons to have tea with my friends. If you're going to get dressed on a Sunday, you might as well enjoy when you're wearing.

Blouse: Vero Moda (from Envy - local store)
Skirt: Trapper Jane (from Love, Me Boutique which is sadly now closed)
Shoes: Chie Mihara Rostar

This skirt has pockets. Up with pockets!

And if you're going to get dressed then you might as well wear your favourite shoes.

And if you're going to get dressed, why not wear a necklace you've had for 35 years-ish! I found this recently and I can't believe I still have this. I also still have my 41 year old Raggedy Ann doll.

I also found a button that was made with my grade 2 picture on it. I'll have to wear this sometime.

If you're going to get dressed, be aware that you will be judged by Dougal. I'm not sure if I passed muster or not. It's hard to tell from that face.

How does it happen, does it fly through the air

Quick early post because I'm on my way to the airport to fly to Winnipeg, which is almost exactly the middle of Canada. I have a stop over in Toronto but not long enough to do anything other than hangout in the airport.

Here's my flying outfit.

Blouse: from Crimson and Clover consignment
Cami: Envy (local store)
Skirt: Smoking Lily Lilibet skirt (last seen here)
Leggings: Hue
Shoes: Fluevog Adrian | Alli

Lots of layers so if I get too warm I can adjust things and I have a cardigan to throw on if I get cold.

No yoga pant plane wear for me. =)

Lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind which blows before the rain

After three days of sunshine and mild temperatures, today was all about the rain and humidity, as evident in my hair.

Flippy and fuzzy. Time to get the flatiron out again I guess.

I never know what to wear on rainy days so I just grabbed some comfortable pants.

Blouse: Vero Moda from Envy (local store)
Cami: from Envy
Pants: Lilith
Shoes: Miz Mooz

On Saturday, I walked to the mall which is way to close to my house for comfort. I went in search of blouses and forced myself to not look at dresses or skirts or pants. This is one of them. It was on sale and I liked the colour and it looked ok on but when I wore it today, it drove me crazy.

Or maybe I should say "batty"?

I kept getting the sleeves caught in the arms of my chair and I couldn't shake the feeling that the top kept sliding forward.

I also felt a little too casual.

Here's hoping I can do better tomorrow.
