A Very Canadian Black Friday

To be honest, I slept through the first 12 hours of Black Friday (I am dreadful sick), even though I stayed home from work today (I wouldn't wish this cold on anyone, much less my ICU patients) - so I managed to get a few things, and hope they are okay-dokies!

1/2 - Figured you can't go much wrong with a scrunchy sleeved blazer; these days I scrunch up all of mine anyway.

3/4 - I've had pretty good luck with Closet dresses, so I went for two in a new pattern; more funky than I usually go, but I hope they will be fine. My last size 10 was a smidgen on the small side and my size 12 was pretty big though.

5 - A dress I'd had an eye on for a LONG time; finally on sale :p

6 - Not quite sure what I'd do with this dress yet; but it's so pretty! Maybe to all those Christmas parties I don't get invited to ;)

7/8 - Pair of skirts I've had my eye on for awhile.

9/10 - To embrace the new peplum trend! :D

Now, to drink Nyquill and watch Downton Abbey. I'm on season 2. :)

WiW: Pattern Mixing Experiment!

It's been awhile since I have tried something really different with my outfit! I decided to try a patten mix today: I generally pair this dress with a skinny belt and a solid coloured sweater and this cardigan with a solid dress, but that was getting pretty boring pretty quickly!

What do you all think? I think the small patten vs. the larger scale if the cardigan makes it work; and the solid belt just serves as an anchoring point. Ditto to the dark tights and boots in the last pic.

Lemme know if I am going crazy!!!

Love,
Lyn

WiW ... On Call; Hour 26

Dear YLF,

Here's what my outfit and make up look after 26 hours of continuous duty! I went with fun and easy to wear comfortable floral dress and a very bright and cheerful cardigan! And of course how can you see no to metallic flats?

Boo-hoo! My Purple tights have a run in them. Lol @ pic #3.

Oh well! Four more hours to go!

Cheerfully yours,

Lyn

ETA: I've had 4 XL steeped teas and one chai latte!!! WHEEEEEEE!!!!

WiW; Rather Monochromic

Dear YLF,

Ugh, the dreaded weekend split call shift is upon me (Friday and Sunday), so I suppose I am feeling rather drab today. Couldn't find anything bright today that was clean (lol).

Will try to do better Sunday.

Love,
Lyn

Am I crazy? Snake print moto jacket?

I am recently falling in love with the vibe of a moto jacket with the softer dresses and skirts that I wear, but this garment has got me stumped.

I have owned many moto jackets (orange, plum, brown, tan, grey, white, black, navy), but never one with patterns, but yet, this jacket speaks to me.

Am I going crazy?

WiW: New top! Not a dress!!!

Seriously!!! No dress today??? What is the world coming to???!!! :p

I thought I would branch out a little bit, so I got a top in classic colours with a twist and peplum! It is more expensive than I usually spend on a top (several, actually) but feels quite nice on!

I hope you guys like it: any styling suggestions for peplum tops to share?

Pic 3 is a bonus hair update! Lol!

Much love,

Lyn
