Zara Bomber Jacket

 Bomber Jacket-Zara/Bag-Givenchy/Shorts, Blouse and Shoes-Mr.Price/Bracelet-Hermes

A trend I've been seeing quite a bit lately, is the bomber jacket. I love the fit of them, it's definitely one of my favourite styles of jacket! This one in particular is a favourite of mine, I love the floral print- it gives an otherwise 'masculine' fit of the jacket a more feminine feel. I also love the black details in contrast to the colours:) I paired it with a white button up blouse, and denim shorts, and my go-to shoes of the moment: my studded loafers! (LOVE them) 

Have a wonderful day everyone!!

I sold the Renoir and the TV set

It was a coldish day here on the Atlantic ocean. Brrrr... should have bundled up in all my woolies. But no, I wore this.

I bought this dress in January 2012. It hasn't fit until now. I almost consigned it a few months ago but now I'm glad I held onto it.

I like how Sheila gives her clothes names so I'm going to copy her and call this my Mondrian dress.

Ok, I did wear a cardigan with it so I didn't completely freeze.

I'm sure you can guess why I like this dress. Red? check. Black? check. Shift dress? check. Geometric pattern? check!

Did I mention that I'm glad I kept it?

I wore these flats because I thought the diamond shape on the heel fit well with the squares/rectangles on the dress. However, one of my coworkers (male) suggested it would be a better option to wear heels to make it more "elegant". Huh. Sure...whatever.

I have tomorrow off of work so I'm getting my hair done. Might treat myself to breakfast out. Livin' la vida loca!

Second verse, same as the first

This outfit is almost an exact rerun of November 23 so I only took one photo. I really need a haircut - luckily that will be happening on Friday.

I look rather meh because I'm feeling meh. I think I'm in the throws of a rather bad dose of PMS. This too shall pass.

I spent part of my evening trying to clean up my basement. I filled up 3 garbage bags and still don't feel like I've made much progress. There's another few evenings of work to do before I can properly use the space for anything other than storing junk.

I found two yearbooks and a bunch of photos from Junior High and High School. I'll maybe scan a few and post them. From my blonde past.

Tomorrow is my last work day this week. Hopefully I'll be less meh and more YEH!

Feel the heat, pushing you to decide

Oh dear. I think this outfit is pushing the envelope a little bit. This is a little more "night at the disco" than "working in the office". But...not sure I'm too concerned since I spent the day in my office alone or on conference calls. No one saw me other than my coworkers. And now, all of you.

My favourite parts of this dress are the cut outs at the collar bone.

And these tights are so awesome. You can wear them with the pattern up the front or down the back. Because the dress is longer at the back, I put the pattern at the front.

I'm not sure about the "mullet" style but it's a very comfortable dress. I can see me wearing the hell out of this. Totally worth the cost.

This would be a great fancy party dress. Now, I just need to get invited to a party where this would be appropriate.

Next time I wear this to work I'll probably dress it down to be less provocative.

Smoldering black and flaming red

So Saturday night I went out to a house party. From what I remember, I had a great time! Although, there may have been a moment when we were dancing to Baby Got Back. *hangs head in shame*

Not unsurprisingly Sunday was a low key day. I slept in, walked to my friends house to get my vehicle, and did some..... COOKING! I made pork dumplings and curried squash/sweet potato soup. This is rather odd for me as I do not enjoy cooking and generally am not very good at it.

Dumplings! Om nom nom!

Today's outfit is fine but rather uninspired.

Top: Annie 50 (last worn here)
Tie belt: from a store in Winnipeg (last worn here)
Skirt: Secret Lentil (last worn here)
Tights: from Iceland (last worn here)
Boots: Fluevog Hope | Desire (last worn here)

This outfit is pretty comfortable since all the fabric is cotton/jersey. I like the details at the bottom of the skirt though I think I'm over the "serged edges on the outside" style.

Back shot doesn't really seem necessary in this outfit but here it is anyway. Baby Got Back? Seems to be a theme.

Here's my pin. It's a cute little Alice in Wonderland with a "Drink me" bottle. I bought this at a craft show a few months ago. I just rediscovered it. Cute!

Henry Holland Tee

 Tee- Henry Holland for Mr.Price/Jeans-Zara/Shoes-Mr.Price/Bracelet-Hermes

I was so excited when I saw this tee in stores, I'd been looking forward to the Henry Holland range for Mr. Price ever since I first heard about the collaboration :) I love the colours, and the print is absolutely stunning. I opted for a casual outfit, with my Zara baggy jeans and these gorgeous pumps with gold and coral detail. 

Have an amazing day everyone!!

No promises, no demands

I called today's outfit "a reject from a Pat Benatar video". Specifically this one:

I used to love all the outfits in this video. I didn't understand that the ladies were supposed to be sex workers. Maybe I thought they were a dance troupe? Oh my naive youth.

I guess I need more layers and ripped tights and leg warmers.

Cardigan: Prive (last worn here)
Dress: McQ
Boots: Fluevog Fellowship | Roseabelle (last worn here)

Excuse the cranky face. I just spent 2 hours cleaning my pantry and my refrigerator. Can anyone explain why I had 8 half empty jars of salsa? Lots of great science projects!

I bought this McQ dress on HauteLook.com a few months ago and never wore it. I tried to sell it at a consignment store but there were no takers so I took it back. Threw it on today and did lots of exciting glamourous things like grocery shopping and the previously mentioned cleaning. Poor Lee McQueen is rolling over in his grave.

Pardon me, but I must leave now and prepare for my shoulder-shake dance-off with the local pimp. Where did I put my fishnet fingerless gloves.

By the by, my tattoo is healing quite nicely.
