Patterny

Why, hello, there. This dress occurred before the unintentional hiatus. It’s super cute, isn’t it? It’s probably one of my favourite most-on-sale dresses. It was $180 at Banana Republic, marked down to $60, with a 40% off coupon, I got it for like $35. Score. I’m still feeling meh and non-fashionny these days. I think it’s the super blah weather. I broke out my polka-dot galoshes the other day and briefly felt better, splashed in some puddles and had fun with it but for the most part it’s cold and I don’t want to get dressed let alone take pictures … Continue reading Patterny

Apparently it’s a WLC week. These are the tights I got in my Beyond the Rack order, and still super. Aaron pointed out that everyone who walked by did a bit of the old gawking at my legs – bright colours, people notice them. I dressed mostly for comfort, it was a dreary day as they have been, so coziness was a definite factor. This tee is drapey and soft and nice, so that was a given. Courderoy was actually inspired by Lauren’s cute outfit the evening before, she had on a little grey tweedy number that was a similar … Continue reading wear: Thursday

I was really self-conscious in these. Super bold stripes is a bit much, even for me, but I adore them and wanted to make them work. Again, I got a tonne of compliments so that helps ease the “What am I doing I look like a moron” of it all. I do have a complaint about the WLC stockings. I’m a girl of ample thigh, and these just don’t have the stretch required to make that comfortable. I prefer my stocking with a sticky innard so that they don’t slip, but these seem to rely on strangulation alone. They are … Continue reading wear: Wednesday

My WLC order continues, with Yellow! These are super bright and really cute, which is going to make them hard to wear, I think. I dig the grey / black / yellow but am a bit worried about looking like a bumblebee in future pairings. Cute though they are, I don’t want to be one. Every time I wear my We Love Colours tights, no matter which, I get awesome compliments. I need to build a bigger collection!

I spent Sunday with my dad, sister, aunt and nephew, and was comfy-casual all day long. My dad and aunt have been cleaning out my Nan’s stuff, and gifted me with two beautiful brooches. This is one. My weekend was pretty uneventful and quiet, we had some lovely weather, such that I didn’t really need a jacket with the cardi, as long as I had a light jersey scarf. I’m pretty okay with that.

My We Love Colours order from BTR came in! I am so so so happy with the choices I made. On Friday, I went to company-mandated team-building bowling, which ended up being a bit fun. Don’t tell anyone. I was super colourful and glad to be on team light blue! I also achieved my highest ever bowling score: 74. Woooo! Wearing: Boyfriend’s Tee, a Robot (so full of compliments. another one to perma-borrow) Jacob Cardi Joe Fresh skirt WLC tights in Lavendar Pink Chucks Bracelets galore (via Lady Jane and Zellers) Team Spirit bandana Continue reading wear: Friday

I saw these in baby-blue at the American Urban Outfitters, and snatched them up. When I got to the cash, the nice lady pointed out there were black ones available nearby, so I got those instead. I love love love them! While I’m a bit worried they’re too saucy for the office, it didn’t occur to me until later, so I’ll just have to keep it in mind for next time. I felt awesome, though. I’ve been in the mood for glitter, so I carried my Betsey Bowtiful clutch, which I also adore. It’s one of my pricier bags, and … Continue reading wear: Thursday
