More than just color and shape)

Today was a very flustering day at work. I was trying to get a lot of things done but I kept getting distracted and interrupted.

Dress: Heartbreaker from Pretty Things Boutique (last worn here)
Belt: Megan Mae Obi Belt
Shoes: Aldo  (last worn here)

Overall though, it was a rather pleasurable and pleasant day other than when I went outside and the wind blew my skirt up making me flash a group of international students who were outside smoking. Ooops.

I was able to wear these shoes all day - for about 9 hours. Surprising for such pointy heels.

Quick post today because I have to go pick up a friend and go out for dinner.

Oh! I got new shoes in the mail today. Of course I will probably wear them tomorrow.

The dancers spinning in the mirror ball

There was almost no blog today but I am so dedicated to you, my loyal readers, that I went above and beyond to make it happen!

I got home from work, changed, fed the cats, put in a load of laundry (this rock and roll lifestyle is going to kill me) and grabbed my camera so I could process my photos.

No memory card.

Memory card was sitting on the coffee table.

My computer won't talk to my camera.

CONUNDRUM!

So I got redressed so I could take new photos.  Don't say I never did nothin' for y'all!

Dress: Dress in Time - it's not really vintage, probably from the 1990s
Belt: Le Chateau
Slip: ?
Shoes: Fluevog Bellevues | DeVere

I debated these boots for a while this morning. Do they go, are they too much but decided I wanted to wear them so I didn't care if they went or not.

The back isn't much different from the front but here it is. Butt shot!

I was looking at my neighbour's yard because they have a sunflower in their garden that's about 12 feet tall. Pretty gorgeous!

Peplum Blazer

 Blazer-Zara/Boyfriend Jeans & Pumps-Woolworths/Bag-Givenchy/Bracelet-Hermes/Ring-Cotton On

The colour and fit of this blazer is so lovely, the blue and white stripes along with the subtle peplum fit is perfect! I loved how it looked paired with the more baggier look of boyfriend jeans, and the blue colour was calling out to be paired with my navy Givenchy. It was especially nice, because of how comfortable it was:) 

 Have a wonderful day everyone!!

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.

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.

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. =(

Dance into the fire

I think I've mentioned before that took ballet lessons when I was a kid. I started at one dance studio and when I got older I switched to a school that was more ballet focused. The instructor was kind of mean though and we suffered some humiliation and abuse from her. She was probably dishing out what she was given when she was a dancer. I ended up quitting because of it but the whole dancer aesthetic is still very appealing to me.

Maybe that's why I liked this skirt when I bought it. I've had it over over a year and this is the first time I've worn it - maybe because it's too "dancer" and not "bureaucrat", not that that's really stopped me before.

Skirt: Twig and Hottie in Vancouver
Shoes: Vivienne Westwood for Melissa (last worn here)

This is a little more make-up than I would usually wear on a Saturday morning and I wish I could say I'm going to a party or something all WHOOOOO! but I'm not. In fact I had no plans until about 15 minutes ago when my neighbours asked if I wanted to go to the animal shelter with them this afternoon.  It's the shelter where the dear departed Jetta came from so I'm concerned I'll come home with another furry friend.

What, isn't this outfit appropriate for a few hours of playing with kitties and doggies? Who cares! It makes me feel pretty.

The back is my favourite part of this shirt. Probably because my back is my favourite part of me.

I'm dealing with an unplanned shoe "capsule" right now so you're going to see a lot of reruns until I get my shoes back.

I tried to sleep last night but I’ve caught your dreaming

I hesitate to post this photo because it's not great but I took about 15 shots and this is the best of the bunch. I look tired and that's because I am a bit. I didn't sleep very well last night and ended up getting up at my normal early time even though I had the day off. And then I ran around meeting with friends and having some very interesting conversations. It was a lovely day but I'm tired.

Nothing new here. These tights are becoming my go to item of choice.

Sweater: Pretty Things Boutique
T-shirt: Lilith in Paris

Hopefully I'll get some sleep and look less droopy-eyed the rest of the weekend.























Here's a song to start your weekend.
