And your telephone's been ringing while you're dancing in the rain

Today I went out for lunch with two women with whom I work. Walking through the mall, I was definitely the most colourful person in this bright orange dress. I'm trying very hard to believe spring is coming.

I bought this strapless dress from Anthropologie.com a few months ago, in the dead of winter. I've wanted to wear it so I took a cue from Sheila and wore a blouse underneath

Blouse: Vero Moda (last worn here)
Dress: Anthropologie.com
Shoes: Desigual (last worn here)


I tried on 4 pairs of shoes this morning before deciding to wear these ones. Good choice?

The dress came with a blue tie for the waist so blue shoes would also be a good choice.

I think this actually works! I'd wear this again. Not sure when since most of my wardrobe is going into storage until I find a place to live in Toronto. How will I survive living out of two suitcases for 4-6 weeks?

I bought this pin from Vitamin G before I bought the dress. It was kismet! 

Yellow Lace Dress

 Dress and Sandals-Mr.Price/Bag - YSL/ Bracelets- Sass Diva

This dress is the quintessential dress for summer, it's bright, cheery and not to mention girly with the pretty lace detail! I love the colour, and the fit around the shoulders and neckline is lovely. I paired it with simple gold sandals to emphasize the yellow colour tones, and my YSL bag to add a different pop of colour to the outfit. I'm also wearing my hair in a donut bun, I love these little accessories- they make doing your hair so easy and quick :) 

 Have an amazing day everyone!! 

Boring hounds tooth

A delayed post of the March 13th outfit. I didn't get this uploaded until now because yesterday after work I was meeting with a moving company and then after that I went out for dinner. I have a feeling I'll be having a lot of meals with friends over the next week.

Tonight I'm meeting with my lawyer and then spending the evening with a friend packing stuff. Shit just got real, yo.

After all my bravado of "going to pull out all the stops and wear all my craziest clothes" this outfit is BORING. I got this dress in Reykjavik but it really does nothing for me. Why can't I let it go? Because it's red.

Jacket: Origin Unknown
Dress: from Reykjavik (last worn here)
Shirt: from Dynamite (last worn here)
Tights: Anna Sui from Simon in Montreal
Shoes: Steve Madden (last worn here)

I never wear jackets. I've had this for a few years and have worn it probably once. I love hounds tooth. Maybe I thought that would make we wear it.

I'm keeping it though since it has very useful pockets. I'll try to wear it more often!

The only things interesting about this outfit are the tights and shoes.

I got the tights when I went to see Duran Duran in Montreal in October 2011. This is the first time I've put them on. Odd.

I love the print of furniture but I've been at a loss on how to style them.

And finally, I wish I'd worn heels with this outfit but I went with my skull flats.

BORING!

Colour Explosion

Moving plans are coming along. Today I booked a temporary accommodations through AirBNB, I'm meeting with a moving company tomorrow, I've made lists. Tonight I have to try and identify what I'm going to be moving other than my clothes and shoes that is. I'm running on caffeine, adrenaline, and panic.

I have to say though that Twitter has been very very helpful. 

I'm going to try and pull out all the stops the next two weeks and go crazy with my outfits or wear things that I haven't worn in a while. Maybe this will help me decide what to pack since I won't be able to take all my clothes when I move at first.

Scarf: Aldo
Sweater: Knit by Me (last worn here)
Dress: Desigual (last worn here)
Tights: Anna Sui (last worn here)
Shoes: Fluevog Get Up! | Eureka (last worn here)

I haven't worn these shoes in over a year.  Kinda of a shame really. They're cute, comfortable, and mary-janey. Must put them into the rotation more frequently.

 I had put this dress with my summer clothes but dug it out to wear today. Luckily it's warmed up enough so that I wasn't freezing in this little cotton dress.

I bought this on a whim at Aldo when I bought the red studded flats. It was up by the cash register so it was a good "suggestive sell" on their part. Birds!

This scarf is almost as big as my Alexander McQueen scarf.

Better go finish dinner and start packing.

Megan 2.0

Today I gave two weeks notice at my job. In 3 weeks I start a new job, in a new city, in a new province. Well, old province. I'm moving to Toronto. I'm totally FREAKING OUT! I have a job but no where to live. I'm hoping that resolves itself soon. GHA!

Another thing....Toronto....Fluevog....DANGER DANGER!

So there will only be 8-9 more photos in front of this grey door.

Dress: Papillion (last worn here)
Shoes: Pour La Victoire

New heels. Pretty, pretty, pretty.

And I didn't know they would match this dress quite so perfectly.

I'm excited about moving. I'm sort of rebooting my life at 41. Megan 2.0 shall commence in April. Who knows what exciting things await me in Toronto.

 Look! I removed the stickers from the bottom of the shoes. Do you ever see people on the street and notice that they have a big sticker from Winners on the bottom of their shoe?  No? Just me?





























Pretty, pretty, pretty!

Nude Tones

Sweatshirt, and Sandals- Country Road/Jeans-Viking/Bag- Zara/Belt-Mr.Price

A chilly day calls for something a bit warmer in the form of baggy jeans, a simple top (in the most comfortable sweatshirt material) and some sandals to 'spruce' up the outfit. I love the nude tones in this look, it's so soft and feminine! And I adore this spiked belt, it's the perfect addition to any outfit :) 

Have a lovely week everyone!! 

Thank you Xie-Xie

 I have a lot going on in my life right now. Some big changes that are happening very quickly. Some exciting, some confusing, some hard to take, but all very scary. I don't mean to vague-blog but as things coalesce I'll be more forthcoming. I'm just trying to explain my lack of substantive dialogue here today.

Jacket: Filene's Basement in DC

I might be as confused as hell but I'm trying to face the days bravely and looking cute as hell.
