Remembrance Day is a holiday in Nova Scotia so I got today off since I'm a government worker. I slept in until 11:00, went out for breakfast with myself, met some friends for tea at a coffee shop and now I'm home watching last night's Boardwalk Empire.
Here's another pair of pants that I have shrunk into.
I'm a fan of cropped pants. Mostly because I'm usually wearing socks that deserve to be shown off.
Today is unseasonably warm. I went out without a coat and was more than warm enough. I'm pretty convinced that global climate change is a reality. Poor polar bears.
Blazer-Cotton On/Shorts and Slippers- Mr.Price/Bag-Givenchy/Spiked Bracelet-Sass Diva
How cute is the print on this blazer? I absolutely adore the cats:) I gave the outfit a more 'grungier' look with my new spiked slippers, (love them) and my cobalt blue shorts. The navy tone of the blazer called for my Givenchy to accessorize the outfit, I love the two combined! I also brought in the spikes of the shoes with my spiked bracelet, it's definitely one of my favourite pieces to wear!
Every time I wear this cardigan I think of the movie UP! and the dog Dug and the other SQUIRREL scenes.
Hey, I know a joke! A squirrel walks up to a tree and says, "I forgot to store acorns for the winter and now I am dead." Ha! It is funny because the squirrel gets dead.
Good movie, you should see if if you haven't already.
Cardigan: anthropologie (last worn here. I notice I also linked to a scene from UP! in that post - I'm getting repetitive!) Dress: from China (gift) Leggings: Joe Fresh Boots: Bought in Las Vegas (last worn here)
I've never worn this dress on the blog but I wear it quite often on casual days like today. I got up early (well, early for me on a Sunday) and took myself out for breakfast. Then I had to go to the drug store to buy CAT TREATS. ERMAGHERD we had run out!
Now I am lying prone on my couch blogging, watching TV on my DVR (Chicago Fire which isn't very good), and probably planning a nap.
Here's a shot of the back of the dress. You can tell that the sleeves are jersey and the rest is just regular cotton.
There's weird design elements on it like those buttons at the bottom. It does have pockets though so I love it.
I have no idea what those words on the back say since they are fuzzy and difficult to read.
And today is Remembrance Day in Canada. I have friends who have military spouses so I am thinking of them today as well as those no longer with us.
Quick post today because I'm heading out to play games with some women I met on Twitter.
You can tell by the look on my face that I wasn't overly thrilled with this outfit. It looks alright, even pretty nice, but even with my recent weight loss this skirt is still too tight.
The scalloped edges of this jacket are just so lovely, I love the off white colour too! It definitely has a classic feel to it, which appealed to me in the first place :) I paired it with my new baggy jeans from Zara (I love the little jewel detail by the pockets) and toe capped gold pumps! I love the combination of the more 'smarter' jacket paired with the super casual jeans, the contrast is gorgeous!
(A few people asked me about the comment I made on yesterday's post about "my list of purchases". When you buy stuff on Etsy, it records it in your "Purchases" so I can see everything I've ever bought on that site. I don't record all my purchases in a spreadsheet.)
Here's a dress that I found in my "off season" closet when I was swapping out my spring clothes for my winter things. It's another Etsy purchase (October 2008).
The top of the dress is jersey fabric but the skirt is a weird microfibre/faux suede fabric that picks up cat hair like crazy.
The accents are a red/white gingham.
Dress: Etsy store idea2lifestyle Fishnets: Sock it to Ya (local store) Shoes: Cydwoq (from San Francisco)
One thing I find confusing about this dress is I don't know what is the front or the back. Nor do I know if it matters. This morning I put it on both ways and this way seemed the best.
The side of the skirt has a cord in it so you can gather it up a bit to show the underskirt. Sassy!
What else is sassy? Fishnets with red seams! Work appropriate? Sure! Why the heck not.
I like how the fishnets and the gingham squares complement each other.
According to my list of purchases, I bought this dress off of Etsy in June 2008. It was too tight in the hips so I had never worn it - until today.
I jokingly said I was wearing blue to commemorate the win of Barack Obama. I find it strange that blue is the colour of the Democrats in the US, which are the more "liberal" of the parties when blue = conservative in Canada and the UK. So very confusing!
The print on this dress is trees and sheep. Cute. It's not immediately noticeable unless you come up right close at which point I'll either say "they are sheep" or slap you. ;)
I wasn't sure about the blue tights but I think they're ok. It's just a lot of blue.
YAY for being able to wear clothes you've had for 4 years!
