Are you Afraid of the Dark? Outfit of the Day 7
My outfit of the day #7 built from my Capsule Wardrobe. This was on a super humid, sunny day s the blouses light and airy and you can totally see my blah bra but I don’t care. The pants are high-waisted, hair tucked up, and my favourite H&M aviator sunglasses. One day I will buy a pair of Ray Ban aviators. Continue Reading

My favourite colour is yellow. I tend to wear more black, white, and grey but every once in a while I throw some yellow in the mix. I hate the term “pop of yellow” though.
It is my favourite accent colour for a home and I tend to find myself asking, “do you have it in yellow?” when I find something that I like in a store. Actually, I don’t ask that. I usually just go look for myself because I hate asking for help from salespeople even though I worked in retail for many years.

Holy shit I look really short in this picture. I guess that is inescapable since I am actually not super tall but not as short as this makes me look.
I fall at 5’3″ just under the average 5’4″ – 5’7″ range.. It’s probably the boots that add to the shortness since they hit my knee but that is okay, I still love them.
So this is my outfit of the day. Before you go, “that’s not your outfit of the day! There is no way you were wearing that many layers today because it was really hot and humid.” I confess that this was yesterday’s (Sunday) outfit when it was rainy and a hell of a lot cooler out.
It was perfect weather. Continue Reading
Links and Things
Every once in a while you come across something interesting/awesome/delicious/funny/smart online that you feel the need to share online (like women scientists taking to Twitter to post “sexy” pictures of themselves at work to fight sexism with the hashtag #DistractinglySexy). In most cases I either pin it to Pinterest or share it via a public Facebook post. Those things get lost on pages after time so I thought I would post some things here that caught my attention so I can keep track of it. Kind of like an online bookmark. Here is a list of links and things that I came across this week. Continue Reading
Late Nights, Donuts, and Outfit of the Day 5
Today’s outfit of the day was a dress. Just a casual style with sandals, a hat, and a tucked braid. I am only 5’3″ and this dress falls to a weird spot on me making me look shorter than I am (which I obviously don’t need). I am thinking of bringing it to get altered to hit right at or right below the knee taking 2-3 inches off. I also need to invest in a pair of Spanx because this style isn’t very forgiving and accentuates every bump good and bad. Continue Reading
