WiW 6.22 - Fashion Faux Pas! Look Away!!!

Same dress, twice in a row!!!!! Nooooo!! Are your eyes burning yet? :p

I am in love with this dress! So easy to launder and line dry and poof is ready to play! The hand feel of the cotton is so soft, and I love the pattern! So glad I bought it used for a song ($12?)

Taking a page out of Angie's suggestions for brown accents here; Lady Spade out to play!

WiW 6.23 - Quirky Casuals!

One thing great about not having to go to work on my holiday is I can wear my more casual things!

I had bought this dress (sale goggles) because it was full cotton and a Bernie Dexter and everyone on Modcloth was raving about how awesome the dresses are. Well, the quality is amazing and I snapped it up for an amazing price!

That being said, I think it might be too busy and quirky to go to work; so I will keep it in the casual section or the paperwork section.

Ah; and just my sandals. I don't think I've found them yet by that point in the morning! :)

  • Dress: Bernie Dexter
  • Belt: ... hmm, from an Eva Franco dress?
  • Imaginary Sandals: Clarks

Quality Check - Gap vs. Zara? Trench Coat!

So, a navy or a red trench coat was on my "to get" things this year list and I think I have two contenders. I have ordered both and they're on their merry little way to my house in the post right now ...

... but I thought I'd check in with the wide knowledge of YLF to see if anyone has had long-term experience with either coat? The prices are essentially the same to me, so that's not really a factor...

*** Cost Analysis for Numbers Peoples ***

Gap Classic Trench - $139, now $99; additional 30% off and I got an additional 7% back from eBates ~ $70 or so

  • Love the flippy collar and the pocket flap details; can't tell if the linings are pretty or not, but I suppose that's not one of the key reasons why I'm buying a jacket.

Zara Flowing Trench Coat - $99, now $79; no additional discounts.

  • Oh, the lining is so pretty, and it looks so flowing on the model. I'm not sure if I like the coat or I like the way it looks on the model. Look how awesome I am in my coat I am a Zara model.... (giggle!)

WiW 6.21 - Hangin with the Cool Cats :)

Actually, just going to the stationery store (SQUEAL!) and to get some stew beef (YUM!)

Don't tell anyone! :)

  • Jean Jacket: Forever21
  • Dress: Taylor
  • Sunglasses: Lacoste
  • Flats: Coro Cosmo
PS: they were out of stew beef, so I had to settle for hamburger. Bah, I'll just have to make hamburgers tonight instead of stew. Tee hee :)

Zara Sale!!!//A little crazy...

Oooooh, boy. Zara sale. 

So, I came in under my Zara sale budget, but I think I picked up a few versatile things and I am supposing that if they don't work out, there's always free returns!! Yay, Zara! My little Canadian-girl heart pitter-patters at the thought of free returns!

1 (5), 2, and 4 have been things I've been stalking for the sale, so no surprise there. I'm hoping that the top (2) will be able to work with both the skirts; and I don't have a navy midi yet (3), which was on my shopping list. The dress (5) will be a replacement for my Eliza J one once the pills go out of control (soon, probably).

Trench coat (6) is a bit of a wild-card. I really like the animal-print cuffs, and I wanted something I could wear on the days when it's mucky and I don't want to wear the Burberry. Also, it is navy. I love my navy!

And a blouse with sleeves? That isn't low cut? That is under $20? I bought it in ALL of the colours (7/8/9) to try on. I hope it will be able to work over and tucked into skirts, but if not, they can easily be returned.

Oh, my pocketbook is ruing the day that Zara sale goes on ;) ... I resisted the pink coat though, even though it looks soooo cute!!!!

WiW 6.18 - It's Just Paperwork; New Ticker!

Just paperwork today, so no sleeves! Yay! I still have my emergency blazer and white coat at work though in case something crops up (usually it does!)

No pager though, so no belt! (Here's to you, Anna!)

My watch must have had a good nap: it arrived on a pillow! The box was thrown on my step but luckily the box was pretty ratty, so it was still around when I got home! It's a bit smaller than I thought it would be.

Watched YouTube to figure out how to resize. Lol.

WiW 6.17 - A Dress on the Straight and (Kinda) Narrow

Super big hurry today because someone (me) can't read a clock properly! RUN!

I thought that after the discussion about fits and flares yesterday, I'd try something straighter today!

Well, after hour one my shins are on fire. I usually can run in wedges for the subway but the shuffle in a straight skirt? Definitely leg muscles I have not used in a very long time!!

I swapped to black patent pumps at work. One of my patients thought that the pattern looked like googly eyes. No comments so far on lack of flare from anyone.
