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!

Post 200

This is my 200th post. I was hoping that I would have a fabulous outfit to post, but I'm off work this week and I'm not getting any photos of outfits. Today it's raining so I'm not sure if I'm leaving the house again today.

However, just wanted to share my amazement at 1) these shoes and 2) how quickly they arrived from ISRAEL.

I ordered these shoes on August 23. They arrived yesterday. 4 days! Stuff from the USA takes weeks.

I've coveted these shoes from Liebling for months. Last week they mentioned a sale on spring shoes so I ordered them. I got an email from Liebling saying that the sale was really only supposed to be at their store in Tel Aviv but they gave me the discount anyway. NICE.

I was totally shocked when they arrived yesterday. When I received the delivery notice I assumed it was the gold shoes from Solestruck since I ordered those from San Fransisco the day before I ordered these. And when I opened the box I was thrilled. ERMAGHERD SHERS!

They have beautiful photography on their site too - something I appreciate since my husband is a photographer.

I would highly recommend ordering from this company. I have not received payment or anything from Liebling for this post - I'm just sharing a positive and happy shoe purchase.

In other shopping news, I went to one of my favourite stores yesterday and found a Jean-Paul Gaultier skirt that I just couldn't pass up.  It should be included in an outfit soon. Here's a sneak preview.

Degas! Ballet!
