I’m still deskless and internetless at home, so I wasn’t able to post yesterday. I might maybe get a desk in tonight, though! Tuesday, my shoes fell apart midday. Came apart at the seams! Both feet at once! So now I am without black flats that are intact. I have one pair from H&M with the sole detached from the shoe, and my studded ones from Zellers which came apart. Woe is me! Dress, Reitmans Leggings, American Apparel – I feel a little bit bad about owning these Shoes, Zellers (*sniff*) Headband, Ardene Belt, vintage, I think my mom’s For … Continue reading Wear: Tuesday and (comfy-dress) Wednesday

I didn’t take pictures over the weekend. I had intended to on Saturday, but got home and fell into bed after moving a desk to my sister’s place, then putting together the desk. I wore a dress from Postlapsaria , leggings, slouchy boots, and a tank top. My dad LOVED the dress, said it was cute, and young, and looked comfy. All true. Monday, though, I got up, I got dressed, in real clothes without bears on them. I felt very Joan-esque (despite never having seen Mad Men) in this little outfit, though by the end of the day I … Continue reading Wear: Monday

It’s getting pretty cold, single digits today, but I want to get my summeriest dresses in one more time before fall. While I was trying to arrange my clothes by type, I haphazardly tossed these two items next to each other and thought “Ack! Perfect!”. The silhouette of this dress is really lovely, and the back has an exposed zip. It’s among my favourites. I have always been a little afraid of mixing patterns, but I think the black and white of the dots make it easier. The blouse is entirely sheer, so requires a bit of jiggering to be … Continue reading Wear: Friday

I got rained on on my way home, and had chiro / massage today, so my hair is both massage-oiled up and rainy, so I may resemble a sad, wet rat. Monthly chiropracty means monthly non-dresses, since they occasionally need easy access to my lower back, so I broke out pants today. I don’t wear a lot of pants, I’m not all that keen on them. I bought these two years ago at my boyfriend at the time’s prompting, he loved them. I’m still not sure. The colour doesn’t seem to go with anything, and I hemmed them a wee … Continue reading Wear: Thursday

I nearly always wear comfy dresses on Wednesday. There’s still two whole days left, but I’m exhausted already, and the easiest thing I own seems like a good idea. I have this dress in two colours, black and olive green. It’s super comfortable. Stretchy waistband, light easy wrinkle-proof fabric. It’s awesome. And sort of pretty! Dress, H&M Capelet, handknit christmas present Belt, ModCloth Shoes, Zellers Tights, F21 Handbag, vintage, from my mom I didn’t feel like finding a necklace that hit at the right level, so I’m wearing two watches and five bracelets. When I was a teenager, I regularly … Continue reading Wear: Wednesday

We’re in the low teens temperature wise today, it’s beginning to feel rather autumny. Today was rainy and grey, and chilly. I love it. I wish it was like this all year round. I love fall fashion above all others. Boots and knits and tights and lightweight jackets and umbrellas and hats and light scarves, it’s my favourite time of year by far. It’s day two of Yay-ModCloth-Order-Yay!! so I’m wearing my new dress, which again I like a lot more in person than I did online, and my new belt, which is absolutely darling. The fit on the dress … Continue reading Wear: Chilly Out!

I got my very first ModCloth order! I bought a few lovely things, almost none of which fit. I tell myself they will, soon. I have a real problem with not wearing everything new all at once, and here I am wearing three new purchases in one outfit: socks, shoes, blouse. I bought the Whistler’s Sister blouse because I don’t own a single white blouse and thought it would be a nice addition to my wardrobe. When I got it, I was absolutely enamored by it! The sleeve detail is so much more special than I imagined, and I think … Continue reading Wear: New, new, new

In 1996, I was 13 years old, and I loved the Spice Girls. Yeah, I said it. I recorded the ‘Wannabe’ music video on VHS and learned all of Victoria Adams’ moves. My sister and I (4 years younger, and lover of all things sporty, including Mel C.) would stand in the living room in front of the TV and sing along, jumping, dancing and laughing all the way. And singing. Probably poorly. My mom got in on the action when ‘Stop’ came out. She insisted, though, that the lyrics were ‘Stop right now, turn yourself around’. I love the … Continue reading Read: That Extra Half an Inch

I turn 27 in about 15 minutes. On Saturday, my friends and I celebrated with a fancy dress picnic. I wore my Isaac Mizrahi dress from Target, a new navy blue square dancing petticoat I got on Ebay, my favourite fancy headband from F21, and navy blue heels by Michael Antonio. To add a little interest to the plain dress, I clipped an 80s clip on earring to the neckline, and wore my pink, blue, and aqua dome ring from F21, and a simple silvertone bracelet from Zellers. It was a great party, and hopefully new photos will appear soon. Continue reading Celebrate: 27th Birthday
