These beautiful colours, infinite patterns so hard I see

Trying for something different today with mixing patterns but sticking with a brown/turquoise colour scheme. I also felt a lot more comfortable today - more like myself.

I think I'm having a pretty good hair day today.

Necklace: Fireworks Gallery
Dress: Vera Wang (last worn here)
Pin: Pretty Chic
Belt: All Saints
Skirt: Cranky (local designer)
Shoes: Fluevog Operetta | Fiorenza (last worn here)

The skirt underneath the dress is a delicate tiered design that I didn't think was going to work with the dress but I think it's a pretty good addition.

The necklace and this pin seem to pull it all together. I'd forgotten I had this necklace so I was thrilled to rediscover it in a jewellery box that I don't really use anymore. It was a gift from my husband - he has pretty good taste in gifts.

And of course, Fluevogs.

Thank you everyone for your feedback on yesterday's outfit. The blouse and shoes will be making their way out of my closet. They obviously don't make me happy so I need to unburden myself.

Blasé

Today my coworker said that I didn't look like me because this outfit was too bland. I have to agree with her.

Blouse: some store in San Fransciso
Skirt: thrifted
Shoes: Camper

I like this blouse but I never know what to wear with it. I think it's time to let it go. It has gold threads in it and I like the ruffly bits on the button bands but overall, this isn't a great blouse.

These are from the Camper Twins line from a few years ago. I haven't worn them in ages so I wore them today to see if I wanted to keep them or consign them. They're cute but I don't really like the square toe and they aren't as comfortable as you might think. Might be time to let them go as well.

I liked my pins today. The "bad kitty" pin looks like my cat Dougal and the guitar playing squirrel is just for fun. And a Megan Mae buttonflower rounds out the flair for today.

What do you think?  Should I keep the shoes? Or the blouse?

OOTD- Cropped Jacket

 Cropped Jacket- (my mom's)/ Jeans-Edgars/Pumps- Mr.Price/Bracelet- Sass Diva

A few years ago, my mom was having a clean out and she wanted to give this coat away- I must have pounced on it in a matter of seconds (in cat like fashion, no less) and claimed it as my own:) I love it, the cropped fit adds a certain kind of fun to it, but yet still looks cute! And the speckled colour is just gorgeous. And who could resist the lovely collar? 

 I also loved the August cover of British Vogue! How amazing does Emma Stone look? I loved her dress in the second picture! So stunning:) 

Have an amazing day everyone!!

It takes true life, to paint your eyes

I didn't have a great start to my day. My water heater clicked off in the night so there was no hot water for my shower this morning. I quickly washed with cold water (brrrrr) but I felt grubby all day. Luckily I had this outfit on to make me feel put together and, well, clean.

Cardigan: Pretty Things Boutique
Top: Michael Kors (last seen here)
Belt: Value Village
Security Tag: Gift
Skirt: Desigual (last seen here)
Shoes: Aldo

I bought a different pair of shoes from the Aldo website (these ones) which I totally loved but my toes kept "gargoyling" over the ends of the shoes. I can't STAND it when people wear shoes with their toes hanging over the edge - they obviously don't fit if that happens.  That's probably my biggest pet peeve.

Anyway, I returned them to an Aldo store and exchanged them for these which are totally outside of my normal shoe comfort zone. I thought these looked like works of art.

I also thought it would be fun to add a wee bit of neon to my wardrobe.

I wasn't even thinking about this skirt when I bought these shoes. They're a pretty good match.

I made it almost until 4pm before I had to switch these shoes for some flats.

Today's Flair. I went with black and white since everything else was so colourful.

Oversized Boyfriend Coat

 Boyfriend coat-Cotton On/Boots-Freequency/Jumper-Country Road/Bag- Steve Madden/Necklace-Mr.Price

This coat caught my eye because of the 'boyfriend' fit, it's the perfect oversized coat! I love the colour and the detail of the pockets! I paired it with my lace up wedge booties and oatmeal coloured jumper- which I've posted about before, and accessorized it simply with my gold necklace. I'm also wearing one of my favourite bags again, I just love the size and versatility of it:) 

(Hehe, please excuse my fly away hair in these pics-the wind was playing havoc) 

Have an amazing week everyone!!

Breakfast and air drumming

Here's what I wore to breakfast today. We go to Cora's on the weekend and I figure that's as good a reason as any to dress up.

Dress: Desigual from Hautelook.com
Leggings: Mexx (same as I wore yesterday)
Shoes: Fluevog Wherever | Maholo
Purse: Roots Canada

I carry this purse every day. I'm not really a purse person. I find that when I change purses that I invariably forget something in the other purse that I need and it's easier to just stick with one. It doesn't always match with my outfit but I can live with that.

Instagram photo of my dress and shoes.














Yesterday when we went out for dinner, the restaurant played Duran Duran's Hungry Like the Wolf. B. caught me on video demonstrating my air drumming skills. The first frame of this video is pretty priceless. And no, I wasn't drunk.  Oh, and my friends are talking about fish on the menu. My friend tells a joke and it almost looks like I'm giving him a rimshot.

I'm under Japanese influence And my honour's at stake

I spent most of the day in bed hopped up on pain killers and muscle relaxers. I have a bad back and about 2-3 times a year I pull a muscle in my upper back, between my shoulder blades, and end up immobilized. It can be very painful and a pain in the neck. HAHAHA! Yeah, it's not really funny.

I was feeling a bit better by late afternoon, either that or the pain killers made it so I didn't care anymore. We went out for a quick dinner and some ice cream. It was good to get out of the house after being cooped up all day.

Dress: Desigual
Leggings: Mexx
Shoes: Fluevog Prepares | Guide

I wore almost this exact same outfit here just different leggings.

These shoes and this dress seem like a natural fit. Both are fun and funky.
