What I Wore This Week Archives - Page 88 of 88

I had a slight epiphany last night (saturday night). I was in bed reading and it was really late, like really, really late. I finished my book and tried to log on to my library website so I could find another ebook to start and I couldn’t log in. It wasn’t until I went to the main page that I saw that every Sunday the login page is not available due to online maintenance between the hours of 3am-4. I wasn’t until that moment that I realized that I was up so late that websites were shut down for service upgrades since it was their low traffic time. Get off the internet at 3am Sara, nothing good happens after 3. That was something I used to tell my husband several years ago when he was doing the music thing. He worked as a bouncer part-time during this period because we were broke and it brought in some cash when he was home. He would work until close but then stay and party with the staff until like 5am. It pissed me off immensely when he would come home and then spend the entire day in bed to only get up, wash, and repeat. Nothing good happens at 3am.

When I was 11 years old I had an obsession with interior design. I watched design shows, read design magazines and books, and tried my design skills on my bedroom. I would draw to-scale maps of my room and then draw different ways that I could move the furniture. I think I moved it around at least once a month at that time even though my room was small and there weren’t that many options. I even applied to take interior design in college, but due to some ridiculous situation that involved them losing my art portfolio (part of the submission process) and me not being able to produce another one in the time frame I had left before the application deadline I lost my spot in the course. Yes, I am still bitter even though I took museum studies and geography (t was more of a travel and tourism but heavily focused on world geography and travel destinations) which are also things I love. I actually wanted to drop out of college and become a flight attendant but then 9/11 happened and I decided to stay in college for the time being. Which was probably a bad idea because of the year and money I wasted taking marketing during that time. I hated marketing. Five years in college and no diploma to show for it. Oh hindsight, how you bite me in the ass. I think that inner 11-year-old designer comes out periodically because it seems that every time Tom goes out-of-town for the weekend I embark on some moving shit around. This weekend was the livingroom. I really like the outcome, it has more of a designated sitting space computer/office space. Well, as much as an office space you ca have in 650 sq ft. 😉

Above is what I wore the last week. I hope you had a good weekend. Happy (or not so happy) Monday!

Did you have any career aspirations that didn’t pan out, or college regrets?

The weekends done and I am scrambling to finish some things that I hoped to have done by now. Here is my round-up of what I wore the last week. One is kind of hard to see because I had a cute photo bomber, her outfit was better than mine though 😉

For Mother’s Day the girls picked me out a small lime tree, a planter of potted succulents, and a cactus. Obviously they know me well enough not get me plants that require a lot of maintenance. They named the tree Neville (because Neville Longbottom excelled at herbology) and the cactus is Dan. Dan already spiked me twice.
We went to an awesome antique shop in Dundas, Ontario called Clappison Corners Antiques. So many great things there, and so many things that I wished I could bring home. An old phone booth I wanted to make in to a Tardis, a Suit and Armor that I would rearrange my whole place just to find room for it, and a massive bed that looked like a Hogwarts dormitory bed but cost $3695. I think the bed was a large as the entire bedroom, definitely not a small condo bed.
I finally found a crossbody that I liked. I popped in to Urban Outfitters a few days ago and there it was hanging on the wall in three colours giving me it’s Siren’s call. I had no idea which colour to get and since I am a “when in doubt buy it in black” kind of person. So Merle and I went and bought a Booster Juice and I sat down and messaged my favourite moms/friends from my Facebook mom group asking them which colour and it was unanimous, so I bought it in the camel.
Here is a healthy lifestyle check-in. I exercised 5 days last week which is huge for me because I usually end up missing one. I also ate the healthiest I have in a really long time (if not ever). I fell off the wagon a bit on Saturday night when we ordered pizza but I will consider it my cheat day. Here’s hoping for another good week and seeing some results soon.

I have had seemingly good luck with find things at Winners lately especially in the shoe department. I first found my Fryes which are my holy grail of shoes, and last week I found these tan booties for about $35. I mentioned that I needed to add some colour variety to my shoe selection because everything is black so I though a nice tan pair would be a good start. Next I am aiming for something leopard and something red. The heel on theses boots is quite low, and they are very easy to walk in. I have issues walking in heels. I think it is more of a self-conscious people are watching me so watch me trip sort of thing, but issues nevertheless.

Apparently I only took three pictures this week of what I was wearing. Whoops. Sometimes the days all blend and I miss a day here and there thinking I took one when I obviously didn’t. I also walked out of stores twice this week without taking my bag of merchandise with me. Memory issues. I did manage to get a couple of shots of the new girlfriend jeans this week (top two photos). I also received my new striped boxy tee from Everlane which I am going to try on to see how many things I can wear it with over the next few days.

I told my husband that the weather this week was looking like it would be nice because he was/is working outside a lot. He got up at 2:30 am today to go to work (he is in film and sometimes they start filming waaaay early) before you could tell what the weather was going to be like. I woke up to cool, overcast, and rain many hours later. He just texted me to let me know how miserable it was and he was basically working in a cold mud hole today. I feel bad that I forgot to mention there was a 70% chance of rain.

This weekend we did one of my favourite things, going to the flea markets and antique shopping. It’s not always successful but I found a few things this time like an old ABBA record that has all the good songs, and a vintage leather, weighted jump rope that is in awesome shape and will last forever. My regular run of the mill jump rope doesn’t even compare unsurprisingly. They definitely don’t make things like they used to. I decided that this week I was really going to kick my ass in gear to get it ready for summer. When we went grocery shopping today I loaded up on only good things to cut out the temptation. That decision proved to be wise because I was already pilfering through the cupboards looking for some kind of snack foods tonight. Ugh. I m my own worst enemy and have zero will power. I am trying the early to bed early to rise thing as well to see how that plays out with fitting exercise in better because I am truly running out of excuses. I am remaining hopeful.

Anyone else on the getting fit for summer train?

My what I wore this week posts are actually a round-up of what I wore over the course of last week but I think you get the gist 🙂 It was quite nice this week so we did a lot of walking around the area. Even though my 5-year-old can take what should be a 20 minute walk and turn it in to 1.5 hours to get to the destination. I miss the days when she sat in a stroller and I could walk anywhere as fast or as slow as I want, stop where I want, look at what I want. Now I have to watch the light change 3 times before I can wrangle her up to cross the street, pull her out from under racks, and watch her like a hawk because she will be gone in the blink of an eye. My oldest was so easy compared to her, I guess you don’t get that lucky twice? (kind of kidding, I love her dearly and wouldn’t want to change her or crush her spirit. I am learning to embrace her obstinateness) I know we should bask in the joy of discovery and wonder in our kids, but I’m not a super patient person at all so I end up taking a deep breathe and internally chanting “they are only a kid once….”. We went to Ikea on Sunday which is one of my most favourite places, I made Merle sit in a cart because I spend more time chasing her and telling her to walk beside me than actually being able to look around and enjoy myself. You would have thought that I committed a serious crime by the way she carried on through the store because she was in a cart. Her butt hurt, she couldn’t see, she was bored. I was tempted to check her into the kid play centre but knew they would be calling me on the PA to come get her within minutes. Then we bought her a hot dog and all was right in the world again. She is only a kid once….

Do any of you have a child that keeps you on your toes 27/7?
