Boring hounds tooth

A delayed post of the March 13th outfit. I didn't get this uploaded until now because yesterday after work I was meeting with a moving company and then after that I went out for dinner. I have a feeling I'll be having a lot of meals with friends over the next week.

Tonight I'm meeting with my lawyer and then spending the evening with a friend packing stuff. Shit just got real, yo.

After all my bravado of "going to pull out all the stops and wear all my craziest clothes" this outfit is BORING. I got this dress in Reykjavik but it really does nothing for me. Why can't I let it go? Because it's red.

Jacket: Origin Unknown
Dress: from Reykjavik (last worn here)
Shirt: from Dynamite (last worn here)
Tights: Anna Sui from Simon in Montreal
Shoes: Steve Madden (last worn here)

I never wear jackets. I've had this for a few years and have worn it probably once. I love hounds tooth. Maybe I thought that would make we wear it.

I'm keeping it though since it has very useful pockets. I'll try to wear it more often!

The only things interesting about this outfit are the tights and shoes.

I got the tights when I went to see Duran Duran in Montreal in October 2011. This is the first time I've put them on. Odd.

I love the print of furniture but I've been at a loss on how to style them.

And finally, I wish I'd worn heels with this outfit but I went with my skull flats.

BORING!

Lacy Skull Skirt

Yet another thing I bought a while ago that fits now. I'm very excited about this item! I had seen this skirt on another fashion/outfit blog and searched all over the interwebz for it. I finally found it on ebay from a Korean seller and I bought it in black and white.

When it arrived, it was sausage casing city. Now, it fits quite well.

Shirt: Joe Fresh
Skirt: via eBay
Shoes: Steve Madden (last worn here)

My coworker called me Lady in Black today. I thought "but I've worn a lot of black lately" but looking back through the blog, I've worn a lot more colour than I originally thought.


The skirt doesn't look like much here. I had to really blow out the exposure to get the pattern to show up well.

Skulls! Skulls made of lace! No one even noticed. They noticed the skulls on my shoes but not the skirt until I pointed it out. Even then, no one seemed to think that was out of the ordinary. I'm going to have to up my game if I'm going to shock my coworkers.

And thus endeth the work week. Next week I'm only working 3 days. Whoot!

Wicked Witch of the East and Bowling for Critters

Today was a lovely warm day. So warm I didn't even both wearing a coat.

Blouse: People's Market via ASOS
T-shirt: Old Navy
Skants: Melow par Melissa Bolduc from the Workshop (last worn here)
Tights: Hue
Shoes: Steve Madden (last worn here)

I was a little worried that these tights would be a little too Wicked Witch of the East but what the hell. And low and behold, didn't our server at breakfast say that exact thing to me. Stripey!

Today I spent most of my day doing laundry, cleaning and getting caught up on Boardwalk Empire. Such a good show and such gorgeous clothing.

As promised, here's what I wore to Bowling for Critters last night. It was quite a blast. First they allow dogs to bowl and second, pitchers of beer were only $12.00! Good beer too, not crap beer.

I was definitely overdressed but had lots of fun bowling in this flouncy outfit.

Here are two videos. One of the bowling dogs - oh so cute! - and one of me bowling courtesy of my friend Anita.

Black and red seem to be a theme this weekend.

If you got treasure, I'll pay you for the pleasure

True confession. I've only been wearing this for about a half an hour. I started the day wearing something completely different - and way to dressy for a Sunday.  I'm going out for dinner so I thought I'd casual it up a bit.

Sweater: Betsey Johnson  (last worn here)
T-shirt: ?
Skirt: Desigual (last worn here)
Leggings: ?
Shoes: Steve Madden (last worn here)

I last wore this sweater on Hallowe'en? I've probably worn it since then but it didn't make it to the blog.

From the front, it just looks like a cropped black cardigan...

....and then I turn around and it's totally ribcage-alicious. I guess that's why I don't wear it to work. Skulls are ok work attire (in my mind) but not other parts of a skeleton. That's probably crazy.

My blog went over 51000 views today. Thanks everyone for visiting.

Yesterday someone sent me a message saying that it looked like I had lost weight and asking if I was ok. I have and I am. I don't know how much I've lost since I never weigh myself but I'm fine. I'm eating! Promise.

Oh, and another update. I didn't bring home any more animals yesterday. All the shelter cats were under quarantine so I couldn't even go in and snuggle them. =(

Black....and a break

This is the final pair of shoes that I bought in Toronto.

Skull shoes from Steve Madden.

I just noticed that the one on the left looks meaner.

Sweater: Pretty Things Boutique (last worn here)
Dress: Elroy
Leggings: Mexx
Shoes: Steve Madden

Sadly, Pretty Things closed on Thursday. I'm sad that such a great independent store is gone but I understand why the owner did it. 

I'm probably taking a bit of a break from the blog to deal with some personal things. I appreciate all my virtual friends so much but sometimes real life just sucks and you have to deal. I'll be back.
