You can’t really tell, unfortch, but my hair is purple. Manic Panic Ultraviolet, more precisely. It’s pretty cute in person. I spent hours on Sunday stripping and bleaching and colouring, only to end up with multicoloured grey, lavendar, red(?!), brown, and black messes on my head, but Monday morning I did a second coat of UV and it’s pretty sweet. It’s not half as bright as I would like, more of a dull lavendar than an electric purple, but it’s cute and different and therefore I am happy with it.

In the summer I wear contacts a lot more often so that I can wear non-prescription sunnies, and thus have variety in my face-wardrobe. However, I apparently lost my new ones, and these just broke, so I’m down to one pair, that I can’t find. I can’t decide if this means I should look for new ones (Aviators, I think), or look for my old ones (meh.) On Saturday, I was pretty lazy, and ended up wrinklier than I realized. I was super comfy and I got a lot of compliments on the bright socks, again. Apparently people totally care … Continue reading comfy courderoy

A new policy at work means that I have a few Fridays off this summer, so for my first off-work outfit, I decided to wear leggings-as-pants. This is generally Not Okay, in my book, but for some reason I think it’s okay with a blazer? I don’t know. I really loved it, I felt very 80s and colourful and happy and summery. The AWESOME lips helped. Leggings, American Apparel Tee, Zellers Blazer, Aaron’s Bracelets, Anne Klein Scarf, Cynthia Rowley Sunnies, Franco Sarto Lips, Girl About Town, MAC Bright green socks, Calvin Klein Shoes, Arizona Belt, vintage, my mom’s I did … Continue reading summer friday!

This is Thursday’s outfit I believe, and it was pretty comfy, though I did entirely forget to grab a picture while I was still shoed. This wrap dress is made of jersey, and I cannot tell you how much I love jersey dresses. Jersey wrap dresses, even more so. The only problem I have with it is being a lady of ample bosom, it refuses to close in the chestial area, so I’m obligated to wear a tank underneath. Dress, InWear Tank, H&M Cardi, Zellers Necklace & Brooch, Lady Jane (I LOVE how this necklace looks in this light!) Toes, … Continue reading black and brown

This outfit is really boring! I zazzed it up some at work with shoes (Snakeprint Kenny Loves Penny) and a white bracelet, but I think it really needs a belt. Le tut. Skirt, thrifted Tee, Old Navy Shoes, Payless Continue reading Plain Jane

I got a million and three compliments (or what I think of as compliments) on this. People love pink socks. I love pink socks. They also have them in electric blue, I may go back and pick them up, too. I got the ankle sock version in blue, green, and black, but I’m finding those harder to wear, because they cut my legs at an awkward point and make me seem stubby. Knee socks, however, are the way to go. It’s totally summer now! Sandal weather! I can’t find my sandals, I expect I never unpacked them when I moved. … Continue reading Summer Brights

This is Aaron’s shirt, and I love it. LOVE it. I bought it for him for Christmas or birthday or some such along with the (awesome) cufflinks. I totally need shirts with cufflinks, now. They’re just so.. shiny. Do I .. search for ladies’ cufflink shirts? Or just shop the mens’ department?

When the weekend came, I just wasn’t in the mood for any fussiness. It was all comfy-all the time. These dresses are both like wearing jammies. In fact, I slept in the black and white one.     H&M Dress, Aaron’s Jacket, Payless Shoes, Reitmans Hoodie   I borrowed Aaron’s jacket and I sort of love it. Sure, it’s boxy, but not season one of the X-Files boxy. I plan at some point to wear it with leggings and a men’s shirt, possibly belted, I don’t know. I’m looking forward to it.   Reitmans Dress and hoodie, Betsey Johnson socks, … Continue reading Lazy Days

I kept looking at this and feeling like my legs were stems, my dress a flower. It was odd, but good. I liked it. These booties are at once comfortable and nightmarish. My shoes are always too narrow but these are seemingly not deep enough for my feet. I made it all day – but barely. Booties, Naturalizer Tights, HUE Blazer, H&M Dress, ModCloth Continue reading TreeLegs

Back in town, I broke out my favourite shoes ever, and wanted to wear them with something that would go. Shocking, I know. I picked up this necklace in NB, and it’s red, and I love red and black and white, so that was that. I also have a shocking amount of laundry piled up, and this was clean. Shoes, Betsey Johnson Terra Dress, Thyme Maternity, thrifted (yeah, it’s a preggo dress, I don’t care) Tank, H&M Tights, Simons’ Necklace, Value Village, NB Continue reading First Day Back
