Well I didn't tell anyone, but a bird flew by

I actually wore jeans on casual Friday. What the what??

Blouse: Papillion (last worn here)
Jeans: Joe Fresh (jeans last worn here)
Shoes: Fluevog Presence | Impel (last worn here)

Yes, my jeans are from Joe Fresh. They probably cost me $15. I wear jeans so infrequently that I've never been able to justify buying more expensive jeans.

Maybe they would make my butt look better than these?

These are about a size to big so they are a bit saggy. Maybe it's time to investigate the butt enhancing abilities of designer jeans?

Birds, Buttons, Stripes and Pants

Yes, I'm wearing PANTS again. Crazy! It's like I'm a whole other person.

I kind of am because these pants actually fit again. Last time I wore them I couldn't do up the top button and I felt like a sausage.

Blouse: Papillion (last worn here)
Belt: Jacob
Pants: Trapper Jane (last worn here)
Boots: Miss L Fire (last worn here)

The weather here has been unseasonably warm. Like 15C warm rather than the usual 0-3C. Still cool enough though to haul out the buttony boots.

With secret striped socks that you can't see when I'm not hitching up the leg of my trousers.

Or hitching them both up. The first photo was more revealing than I would like for this G rated blog so I had to hold my blouse for a second shot.

I'm going out tonight for dinner and then to see a concert of Old Man Luedeke. Good way to start the weekend.

I hope everyone had a good Friday.

Up the Oiseau

Early blog today because I'm home from work waiting for my new mattress to be delivered. The one I've been sleeping on is 15 years old so it was definitely time to upgrade. The delivery guys said they would be here between 11-2. It's after 12 now and no sign of them yet.

I got to work at 8 this morning so I took my photos right away so I took an outerwear shot.

Shirt: Papillion (last worn here)
Scarf as sash: ?
Pants: Lilith (last worn here)
Shoes: BC Footwear (last worn here)

I'm not sure I really like these shoes. They may end up in my consignment pile. They aren't as cute as I had hoped - they just seem clunky.

I've noticed that a lot of things that are in style right now are very "little girl-ish". Looking at Modcloth and Ruche and some other online stores, all the dresses are short with Peter Pan collars or cutesie patterns. I don't mind dressing like that sometimes but it seems like a lot of the style blogs are overwhelmed with those clothes. Maybe I'm reading the wrong blogs?

Look! I'm standing a different way (hand still on hip). None of these photos makes me love these shoes. I do love this blouse though.
