Fragile Bird

It's been a bit of an emotional and stressful week. I'm closely identifying with the City and Colour song Fragile Bird.



However, it's Friday and I got my hair done after work today and then had a lovely dinner with my BFF so let's put the week behind us! YAY!




Dress: Stills (last worn here)
Tights: Modcloth
Shoes: Fluevog Wonders | Ayers (last worn here)

I've mentioned on here before that my least favourite colour is pink. So tell me, why did I buy these tights? It's not like I saw them in a store and they were $5 and I thought "what the hell". I actually consciously ordered them from Modcloth.  Odd that. I'm not sure if I even like them since the gradient isn't very "gradienty". It's more like these tights are half pink/half black. Feedback appreciated.


One more week and then I'm taking a week of vacation. Good buy crappy ass week! Bring it on January - I can take it!

Black, Blue and Tulle

Thank you to all the new people who came to my blog from Already Pretty and made nice comments. I appreciate the feedback.

I'd also like to thank the people in the "Get off my internets" forum who were not as complementary about my blog or my clothing choices. They didn't bother me - in fact I quite enjoyed some of their thoughts. I like a good snark as much as the next person. Particularly this one:
just wanted to say how much I love this lady Sal chose to feature. I want her to be my 7th-grade English teacher who rides to school on a Vespa and always talks about her experiences at summer art camp, and then years later we all find out it was actually a nudist colony or something.
 HA! One time, at band camp...

 and this one:

What in God's name is happening in the middle picture?  No problem with this lady, but this outfit makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit.
 Good to know. I'll not wear that combo again.

Enough about that!


Dress: Stills (never heard of this brand before) from Crimson and Clover
Tulle Underskirt: Noa Noa (last worn here)
Tights: Hue
Shoes: Miss L Fire (last worn here)

I bought this dress at the consignment store on Saturday. It's just a basic shirt dress but what drew me to it was the rucheing at the waist. I also quite like that it does up with snaps instead of buttons.

I was running late this morning so I didn't get to the accessory stage of dressing so this is a little plain.



The shoes and blue tights do jazz it up a bit but I probably should have worn a necklace or a brooch. Next time.

I can't believe it's 2 weeks until Christmas and I haven't bought a thing. Zoinks! Better get on that.
