OOTD- Gun Metal Spiked Slippers

 Blouse-Cotton On/Shorts And Slippers-Mr.Price/Bracelet-Hermes/Ring-Mango

Shorts are definitely one of my ultimate summer staple pieces, I just love the convenience and the fact that the outfit opportunities are endless. These ones are gorgeous, I love the faded colour and the distressed detail! I paired them with my gun metal coloured blouse and studded slippers, I adore this colour- it's beautiful!  

                             

Have a lovely day everyone!!

Tart-an legs

I have put this dress into my "give away" bag too many times to count but I always have sober second thought.

Cardigan: Pretty Things Boutique
Dress: Anthropologie (last worn here)
Tights: Hue
Shoes: Franco Sarto (last worn here)

The dress is wool and pretty nondescript other than the subtle detail in the bodice and the bow. I'll not make the mistake of trying to get rid of it again.

I think I was uncomfortable with the length but now that I've embraced the shorter dress I'm ok with it.

Plus these tights provide a lot of cover.

You can see the detail a little better here. It has a little bit of a scoop above the bow and some gathers coming down from the waist.

The back has buttons. Buttony!

When I was leaving work and man taped me on the shoulder (I was wearing headphones) and asked me where I got my tights. When I told him (Sock it to Ya, a local store) he said "I know what I'm getting my wife for christmas!" I hope he gets her something else too.

Here's my accessories. Necklaces with birds and two pins. I support Obama, tea, and Jean-Luc Picard.

A demain!

Drawing crazy patterns on your sheets.

I forgot to bring my camera to work today so I had to take these in my living room. It's completely dark here at 6pm now so the quality isn't very good. But you get the idea.

I'm wearing a lot of patterns today. Striped shoes, floral skirt, the hosiery has an argyle pattern, and my top has skeletons and moths printed on it. The cardigan is just a black cardigan but it is cable knit.

Cardigan: Part Two (from a local store)
Top: Smoking Lily (last worn here)
Skirt: Desigual (last worn here)
Shoes: Poetic License (last worn here)

(you can see Dougal peeking out under my skirt. So many inappropriate jokes could be made here.)

Here's Merlin. He hates being picked up. Hates it so much. Poor thing.  He loves me though. He likes to sit on my lap at night while I'm watching TV, especially when it turns cold, which it's doing now.

Tomorrow I should be back taking my photos in front of the grey door.

Baroque Bomber Jacket

 Bomber Jacket-Cotton On/ Tunic-Mr.Price/Pumps-Mr.Price/Bag-Michael Kors/Collar Necklace-Cotton On

The colours are amazing on this bomber jacket, they're so vibrant and eye catching! I also love the fit, the bomber style is perfect. I wore it over my boat neck tunic- which is so comfortable, and my simple pointed ballet flats. The collar necklace also added a great finishing touch to the whole outfit, it definitely brought out the silver details that are in the bag:) 

Have a wonderful day everyone!!

Polka Dot Jumper

 Jumper-Mr.Price/Boyfriend Jeans-Viking/Rings-Woolworths

Chilly spring time weather calls for longer length sleeves, especially when it's windy- and this jumper definitely did the job. It's light enough to wear so you don't get too hot, but still offers some warmth when the winds start to pick up a bit! I love the little polka dot print, and the tie detail at the back is lovely! I paired it with boyfriend jeans and pointed pumps- and my go-to bracelets and rings for some accessories :) 

Birds, Buttons, Stripes and Pants

Yes, I'm wearing PANTS again. Crazy! It's like I'm a whole other person.

I kind of am because these pants actually fit again. Last time I wore them I couldn't do up the top button and I felt like a sausage.

Blouse: Papillion (last worn here)
Belt: Jacob
Pants: Trapper Jane (last worn here)
Boots: Miss L Fire (last worn here)

The weather here has been unseasonably warm. Like 15C warm rather than the usual 0-3C. Still cool enough though to haul out the buttony boots.

With secret striped socks that you can't see when I'm not hitching up the leg of my trousers.

Or hitching them both up. The first photo was more revealing than I would like for this G rated blog so I had to hold my blouse for a second shot.

I'm going out tonight for dinner and then to see a concert of Old Man Luedeke. Good way to start the weekend.

I hope everyone had a good Friday.

Post Halloween skulls

November 1st. How did that happen. And this weekend we change the clocks so I'll be coming home from work in the dark. Such a depressing time of the year, especially for those of us with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). What's a good remedy? Fabulousness!

Cardigan: Knit by ME!
Dress: Dorothy Parker (last worn here)
Shoes: J. Crew

I knit this sweater a few years ago. The yarn is black but with pink and orange flecks in it. It's quite pretty ackshully.

Short dress! I thought I'd be uncomfortable wearing this with just tights rather than leggings like last time, but I didn't.

I really only wore this so I could wear these shoes. From J. Crew! J. Crew! It's not a store that I would normally shop at but I saw these shoes and did a double take.

GHA!  They're pinkish but I don't care! They were too gorgeous to get hung up about a silly thing like the colour.

They were way to expensive but I was told they were 30% off so I decided to splurge. And at the cash I found out that they were on sale on the website so I got that discount and an additional 30%! I should have bought 2 pairs.

They are surprisingly comfortable too.

And without the cardigan.


Oh, and I followed up with Fluevog about the boots I wore on Tuesday. They said they looked like the Swordfish Granny Boot. They also added this:  "They seem quite legit, with the exception of the brown plaid sides. We can't find any record of a boot with sides like that. It's possible they were a sample, or a very small run that we didn't take pictures of. Either way, they are awesome!"

Whoot! Score!
