This is actually a strapless dress with a sweater over it. I have a hard time with strapless dresses, but I love them to bits. When I find a way to wear them, even covered up, it pleases me. Dress, gift from my sister Sweater (under), F21 Sweater (over), Wal-Mart Leggings, American Apparel Brooch, Maskarad The weather was impossibly warm for a bit, reaching over 25 degrees! We’re back now into ‘normal’ temperatures, hovering at or below zero. The tiny taste of summer was enough for me to WANT SUMMER and summer dresses and sandals and bright colours, oh my! … Continue reading printed.

What’s black & white & red all over?

This outfit. Dress, Reitmans Tights, Simons Belt, my mom’s vintage Sweater, Zellers Earrings, H&M Headband, Ardene I remember pretending to be wonder woman with this belt when I was really small, maybe 5 or 6. My mom had this drawer FULL of awesome funky belts (many of which are in my closet now) and it was always such a great time. I find this one hard to wear, now, because it’s a bit bold, but when I can pull it off I love it to bits. Continue reading What’s black & white & red all over?

Cheetahs never prospah.

re: title. Cheetah makes me think of Cheater, which always brings about the phrase “Cheaters never prosper” which I guess my mom would chant to me over and over again growing up? I never cheated. Back to my crappy camera! Dress, Old Navy Cardi, H&M Necklace, Love, Montreal Tights, Anne Klein over We Love Colours After this was taken I added my black rose stud earrings from H&M, as well. I love this outfit! I love love love my hair! It’s like.. victory rolls for the very thin haired. I rolled my front hair around my finger and pinned it … Continue reading Cheetahs never prospah.

Sparkle-Headed

This outfit contains two of the prohibited items, but were worn before I decided I wouldn’t wear them for the rest of the winter. Besides, Look at the thing on my head! Cardi, Joe Fresh Dress, Zellers Tights, AA Boots, Payless Watch, Miss Sixty Sweater Guard, Trove Hat-thing, Target More fancyboycam action, and I do look far clearer. I need a dedicated photographer, I do. Just someone who follows me about and captures my every move. Something like I imagine Karen has. Continue reading Sparkle-Headed

LBD

This outfit is super simple! Dress, Old Navy Brooch, Trove Boots, Naturalizer Watch, Miss Sixty Ring, Trove The lad had his fancy camera over and took these with that. Again, no straight faces. He’s the most impossible fellow ever. He takes photos and is like, good at it, which makes him very picky about the light, the height, the stance, the background (you know, you should get a backdrop so that there’s not all these crooked walls beh– No.) I did buy new curtains for light in here, though, and it makes an amazing difference. My room is so happy … Continue reading LBD

Funny Face

I’ve been watching more than a few Audrey Hepburn movies and as a result I feel the need to be more classicallike, because she’s frigging beautiful. Skirt, thrifted Sweater & Guard, Trove Blouse, Old Navy Belt, H&M My wardrobe is sadly lacking in Audrey-inspired things. This is as close as I could get, because I cannot seem to find my full H&M skirt! I’ll keep searching. I need to reorganize my closets something fierce. The Children’s Hour is an amazing movie, by the way, and on Netflix. Check it out. Continue reading Funny Face

Layers.

Quite a lot going on here. Ring & Sweater (grey), F21 Skirt & Blouse, H&M Cardi, Joe Fresh Sweater Guard, Trove Watch, Miss Sixty Shoes, Valentine’s present!!! This underblouse is awesome and I don’t wear it enough. I got an unexpected compliment on this outfit which made me absolutely glow! Everyone who saw me had some positive comment. It reminded me of why I put so much darn effort into what I wear. Looking different, like ‘me’, is very important to me. I’m wearing three layers up top, but they’re all very ‘me’ – bright pink cardi, see-through frills, and … Continue reading Layers.

Pastels & Grey

This colour combination is one I wear almost as often as I do black. Skirt, Joe Fresh Cardi, H&M Tee, Old Navy Sweater Guard, Trove Watch, Miss Sixty Bracelet, Zellers Earrings, too small to tell, probably pearl drop thingies? Leggings, Les Ailes de la Mode I don’t do a lot in the way of pastels, but every time I wear this top I feel like I should. So often I feel like they wash me out but that isn’t the case with this particular shirt. Is it the peach specifically? Maybe. Mint green definitely isn’t for me Continue reading Pastels & Grey
