Tie Dye Jeans And Neon Toe Capped Pumps

 Jeans-Mr.Price/Top-Country Road/ Pumps-Mr.Price/Bag- Louis Vuitton/Bracelet-Cotton On

I'm so in love with these jeans, they're so fun to wear! And the opportunities for different outfits with them are endless. I chose to wear brown for this particular look, and I loved the contrast between the two colours- not to mention the brown and neon pumps were the perfect finishing touch to the whole outfit. 

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy Blogaversary to Me!

One year ago today I started this blog. It was conceived a month earlier when I jokingly came up with the name in a conversation on Facebook about an outfit that I had posted.

A lot has changed in my life in the last year - many things that I don't feel comfortable mentioning on the blog -  but I can say that looking back at earlier posts makes me realize how much happier I am now.  My clothing choices has also changed since I've been able to see what does and doesn't work on my body. I've also become more comfortable in front of the camera, more confident, which has translated over to my real life.

Take this dress. I bought it 4 years ago and it didn't really fit. It does now that I've lost a bit of weight.

Dress: anthropologie
Tights: Urban Outfitters
Shoes: Fluevog Mini | Gorgeous (last worn here)

Also, I wouldn't have felt comfortable wearing a dress this "short" a year ago. Now, this dress feels positively modest to me.

I also probably wouldn't have done all these butt photos a year ago. Then again,  I might not have worn these tights either.

I'm changing in so many ways and I'm quite excited to see what the next year holds for me.

A lot of things are still very up in the air and unknown but I'm happy to see where my future and my shoes, will take me.

Thanks everyone for coming along with me for the ride.

In exploitations name we must be working for the skin trade

I'm presently cooking 2 lbs of bacon for a work breakfast tomorrow. My entire house smells like heaven. I cannot guarantee that all the bacon will make it to work though. I may have to fight the cats for it. Maybe a big breakfast will make start my day off well so I have a better day tomorrow than I had today.

I was dressed rather fabulously though. And I do have a huge smile on my face.

Boots: Fluevog Baroque | Velasquez (last worn here)

I'm smiling because my coworker who were setting up our lunch room for tomorrow's breakfast were supervising my photo shoot and were making me laugh.

When I set up to do my butt shot I got photobombed (or photobummed).

They were having a rather heated discussion about setting up the tables and one of them said "three bureaucrats trying to make a decision" and I said "No, your problem is that it's three men".  Wakka wakka!

Luckily they love me so all was forgiven and they joined me in my photo.

Then since I'm their boss for the next two weeks, I kicked them out so I could get my final photo in peace.

Sometimes work can get overwhelming but when you have good people to work with it's all the more bearable.

Black And White

 Sweatshirt- Country Road/Jeans-Viking/Loafers-Mr.Price/Bracelet-Woolworths

A simple casual outfit for a rainy day! I went with the classic combination of black and white, with the white sporty sweatshirt and the cute polka dot loafers. I fell in love with these shoes when I first saw them, I think they're so adorable and definitely add a bit of 'girlyness' to an otherwise sporty outfit. I'm so sorry for the lighting in these pictures, a rainy day definitely doesn't make for great outfit pictures! Hehe:) 

                           

Have a lovely day everyone!!

Art Deco

I've been wearing a lot of black and red lately. Maybe because it matches my hair? Or because those are my favourite colours?

Cardigan: Pretty Things Boutique
Dress: brand unknown from Crimson and Clover
Skirt: Knit by me
Tights: Hue from Sock it to Ya
Shoes: Fluevog Wonders | Ayers (last worn here)

I got this dress a few weeks ago at Crimson and Clover (mostly) Consignment Boutique. I really like the art deco design on it. It's short though so I put my knit lacy skirt underneath it.

Not sure what I'm looking at. Maybe I'm praying?

I have to wear a cardigan with it because the top of the dress tends to gape at the neckline so I have to cover up for modesty.

It does have a nice pattern on it doesn't it?

It's kind of velvety too. I like how the sleeves are gathered on the top.

And LOOK! Tuxedo stripes on my tights! Silver tuxedo stripes!

Brown Summer Knit

 Knit-Woolworths/Shorts-Mr.Price/Ballet Pumps-Mr.Price/Bag-Louis Vuitton/Cuff-Woolworths

As much as I love bright colours and pastels for summer, I also adore earthy neutral tones such as this brown knit. I paired it with simple denim shorts and my lovely snake print ballet pumps to add a bit of fun to the whole outfit. The knit also went perfectly with my brown Louis Vuitton, and I finished it off with my snake print cuff to tie the look together :) 

Have a lovely week everyone!!

I pull my shirt off and pray

Today was the last time I will wear this shirt.

Blouse: Club Monaco (last worn here)
Belt: All Saints (last worn here)
Skirt: Luna Luz from Crimson and Clover (last worn here)
Shoes: Fluevog Presence | Impel (last worn here)

I had to throw this blouse out because it was ripped. I got it at Club Monaco last year on sale so I got a lot of use out of it for the price.

I'll have to try to find another cream blouse t replace this one.

This is the second wearing of this skirt that I got from Crimson and Clover. I like that it's so adjustable though I'm not sure what I would be like if I didn't tie up the ties that make it all bunchy at the bottom

Ok, that's it! Not much more to say. It was a regular Monday.
