Gromit, these are the wrong trousers!

A few weeks ago I wore pants to work. Two days in a row. And one of those days, I wore JEANS! I really confused my coworkers.

On August 15, I wore these pants with my kitten heels.

T-shirt: No idea
Vest: Liliblue (last worn here)
Pants: Joe Fresh
Shoes:  Fluevog Half Truths | Tanya

I realized after I got to work that the pants aren't white but very much off-white so the t-shirt didn't really match well, but I wanted to be able to show the lacy back of the vest. I think it's quite pretty.

Then the next day I wore JEANS! This was August 16.


Jacket: Vintage
T-shirt: Duran Duran Concert T from 1984 found on etsy
Jeans: Not sure the brand
Shoes: Fluevog Integrity | Amie in Neon Orange

I got a lot of complements on this jacket. Probably because it's the coolest jacket ever!

These jeans do nothing for my butt. In unrelated news, after work this day I took the subway to Yorkdale mall so I could go to the All Saints store where I bought some.... jeans! I also bought a dress which I finally wore yesterday. I should have it up on the blog shortly.

Duran Duran BABY!

Unintentional disappearance

The blogging? I haven't feel feeling it lately. I feel like its forced - like I have nothing to say so I'm just rambling to fill in space. My life has fallen into a routine. Walk to work, work, walk home, either make dinner or go out to eat, flick through TV channels, go to bed around 9:30. Rinse, repeat.

I did remember to take photos most days this week though.

Tuesday, June 18

Excuse the goofy look on my face. I was really struggling to get these photos in a poorly lit boardroom. I couldn't use the kitchen because someone was having lunch. At 4pm!? Who does that?

Dress: Modcloth (apparently never worn on the blog before)
Leggings: Target
Shoes: Chelsea Crew

Look'it me being saucy and sitting on the furniture! Bad bureaucrat, BAD!

I bought these shoes at a store called Meg. They have very pretty and unique clothing. I covet many things but have not yet made any purchases other than these shoes and a pair of earrings. Maybe soon.

Cardigan: Target
Dress: Vintage (last worn here)
Shoes: Fluevog Bellevues | Laura Evans (last worn here)

I had to walk a few blocks to a meeting and these shoes were so very comfortable. I get lots of complements on them. For both those reasons these were a good purchase.

I like the cutout at the top of the dress. Makes it less matronly and more "pizzazzy" as it were.































Thursday, June 20

Ooops. Cut off my head.

I wearing a Duran Duran pin, a Batman pin, and a label from a label maker that says "I AM A WINNER". Long story.

Cardigan: Value Village
Dress: Le Chateau
Shoes: Fluevog Wonders | Ayers (last worn here)

I bought this dress on a whim because I liked the colour, stripes, handkerchief hemline, and straps. It seemed like the perfect dress for hot, humid weather.

 It does have a lot of fabric to it though so it's a little heavy but seeing it in pictures I think it was a good purchase.

And it is visually interesting with the stripes going in all directions. Yes, this was a good buy.



So I received the Traveling Yellow Skirt from Shelley this week. I'm trying to think of the best way to style and photograph it. I've got a few ideas so I should be done with it soon and passing it along.

To people contacting me asking for it, it's already spoken for after me. A list is soon going to be created since it has suddenly become a hot ticket item. I'll post a link to that information once it's been officially announced.

A Diamond in the Mind

True fact. I haven't been able to wear this dress in 5 years. I tried it on this morning on a whim and it fit! I've held onto for so long hoping it would fit again because it's a fabulous vintage dress. I found it in a store that unfortunately no longer exists.

Dress: Vintage (from Junk and Foibles now closed)
Necklace: Pretty Chic
Hosiery: Sock Dreams
Shoes: Manolo Blahnik (last worn here)

This got a lot of positive attention from people at work and on the street. One guy pointed at my legs and gave me two thumbs up. People are very friendly here in Nova Scotia.

Vertical stripes are cool. 

And of course I had to keep the ink covered so I just wore this Joe Fresh cardigan that I wear all the time.

There's something crazy about wearing a $14 cardigan with Manolos.  These shoes are very "witchy".

I'll be posting this at Patti's Visible Monday.
