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.

Love me, Trapper Jane

I gots me another new dress.

Sweater: Club Monaco
Dress: Trapper Jane from Love, Me Boutique
Shoes: Fluevog Presence Hi | Desmond

It has pockets...

And is twirly and tartany.

What more can a girl want?

It was a cold day today. Only 8C so out came the tights and a sweater. I probably would have been comfortable in a wool dress.

I hope we get some more warm weather soon.

' ' ' punctuation dress ' ' '

I can be a bit of a stickler for grammar and punctuation so the quirkiness of this dress. 

Dress: Makenew from Love, Me Boutique
Belt: Smoking Lily Obi Belt (not silk, just cotton)
Shoes: Calvin Klein

I went to Love, Me Boutique on Saturday because I saw that they had some new Trapper Jane clothing in stock but of course I looked around at everything in the store. If you're in Halifax you have to visit this store.

Makenew takes clothing and redesigns it to revitalize it and give it new life. For this dress that meant putting gold and silver screen-printed commas or apostrophes all over it. Probably a very time consuming prospect yet this dress cost less than $40.00.

See! All the world's missing commas and apostrophes in one place! 

Speaking of $40.00, I saw these Calvin Klein shoes at Crimson and Clover. Obviously never worn. I thought they'd be a nice pair of basic black maryjane heels.

Wearing this today made me feel very thrifty.

But I have to stop spending money. Must. Stop. Spending. Money.
