Avec mes lunettes

YAY! I'm back to working one job instead of two! YAY! It was extremely relaxing and grounding to focus on my own things. I hope the feeling lasts through the week.

The weather here has been crazy. Yesterday it was +7C and pouring rain. Today was -14C and we had blizzard like conditions in the morning. It's incredibly strange. To me, it seems to prove global climate change since our weather patterns are changing and becoming very unusual.


I wore my hipster glasses dress with decidedly unhipster shoes.

Cardigan: Pretty Things Boutique
Dress: Eva Franco (last worn here)
Shoes: Fluevog On Course | Portside (last worn here)

Since the new Acting Director started today I thought I'd wear my tallest shoes. Psychologically trying to make up for my "failings"? Maybe.  They also work pretty well with this dress.



Red heels of happiness.


































Speaking of happiness, these just showed up on the Fluevog website. GHU!!!

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!
