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!

Shadows on your (Port)side

Yesterday I felt uncomfortable and hated my outfit. Today was the opposite of yesterday. I loved this outfit.

Top: Annie 50
Dress: Jonathan Martin (thrifted)
Shoes: Fluevog On Course | Portside

I bought this dress a few years ago to wear to a wedding (yeah yeah it's black but the bride also wore black) and I love it in all its lacy-ness. I decided to put this more casual top over it to make it more work wear. I also needed it for warmth since it's cold and rainy here. Spring in Nova Scotia isn't the best season.

The dress on its own has a 1920s feel with its drop waist and lower cut bodice. I feel all flappery in it.

Except for these shoes which are decidedly modern. I love these Fluevogs so much but I have to admit that I'm so ready for this "platform shoe" trend to end. I'm so over it.

Today was a really busy day full of meetings and a bunch of work that's piled up while I'm testing data queries. I was feeling a little downtrodden but coming home I found I had a package from my West Coast fashion twin, Sheila. Happy days!

Sheila, everything fits and the belt is AWESOME! Thanks!
