I’m a Colourful Hobo

In seeing as how it is the last day of work this year, I was in no rush to wake up. This inevitably meant that I was going to be late for work. Not to mention that we got home late last night and I had a nice hot shower right before bed, but my hair didn’t quite dry and so it was a small disaster today. Hence the Hair Bun of Madness…

I kind of feel like this outfit looked better in person. Or maybe I am just New Years Eve Eve delirious.

Can you believe that tomorrow is day 365!?

So, in celebrating my last ‘work’ outfit of the year, I went for a Clown look. HA.

A basic white T paired with a knit sweater vest that my brother got me for Christmas (go Steven!) thrown under a Teal Kersh sweater made for a good start. I felt that the scarf was essential for warmth and fun. Clowns are fun, right? Dish Jeans and Chuck Taylors rounded out me looking ridiculous today.

I was running around like a bit of a nut all day, but maybe that’s because tomorrow is the last day of this project!!!

SNOW!

You can kind of see outside on the deck the amount of snow we got. This morning was a disaster but it started to mist rain instead of snow by the afternoon, so the drive home was not a nightmare.

This is probably my quintessential SNOW outfit. The warmest thing I own.

I bought this sweater from Suzy Shier years ago and have kept it, basically because I love stripes. It is also the warmest thing I own. I was toasty at work, while everyone else was looking for space heaters! I layered it with a basic white shirt just to give me some length and extra coziness.

My yoga jeans are the ‘thickest’ jeans I own that I can wear boots with, so that was a give in.

My black boots died in a snow accident. I had to drive in my socks. OK, they aren’t dead, but they are soaking wet, on the inside.  Not good.

Now, I shall warm my frozen feet by the fire!

CRAZY LADY

Ba. I look insane.

I spent the morning running around grabbing a few Christmas things for the Mister since he was out. When I got  home, I put on my PJs, grabbed my pink fuzzy blanket and wrapped it around myself like a cape because I was freezing! I spent the rest of the day like this.

Sweat Pants and an Ikea blanket. Life doens’t get much better.

Haha!

Fri Dizzle

Today was all about getting my butt home in time to make an amazing dinner for the crew. I think I succeeded. The kitchen and ‘dining room’ many never be the same again, but at least we enjoyed ourselves!

After dinner there was a mad rush to get down to the Cambie. Elise and I text messaged each other from across the table and apparently that annoyed the boys. Too BAD! Haha!

Since I knew we were going to the Cambie tonight, I only felt it necessary to dress appropriately. That’s right girls, fancy dresses and heels NOT welcome! They clearly don’t realize that they get mocked by all the “scum” – including myself – in the place. You dress down and dirty to go to the Cambie, not up and classy!

But I digress.

One of our more popular sweaters this season at Plum, my Skull sweater from Kersh naturally felt like the perfect fit for the Cambie. I wore it over a long white T which helped cover up my long torso, considering the sweater itself is somewhat short. My motorcycle jeans were also a natural choice as they are my most ‘rugged’ jeans, and Chuck Taylors are basically issued at the door, so I had to wear them.

It’s kind of weird that a place like Plum sells skull sweaters, but these are so cute they just fit right in. This was the first time I wore it out and I got so many compliments on it. Definitely a must have!

Eye Matey

I have this thing where I always close my left eye when the Sun is too bright and Chad thinks I look like a Pirate. True Story.

LAST FULL DAY IN ITALY sad face. Do I have to go home already? Ugh…

Black Target Sandals

I’m wearing Black in mourning for the trip being over, just so you know.

Milan, HEY OOO

We took a train to Milan, Bitches! That is right, I am ‘in the fashion captial of the world and dressed like a Hobo’. Thanks Chad, love you too.

It is true though. I was not excpeting it to be this cold, and we only brought a backpack each with us, so there clearly wasn’t any room for options. Somewhat sick + freezing cold = Total Disaster!!!

Black Faux Leather Jacket – Again, from some random store in the Italian Mall
Dish Jeans

At least everyone around me looked good.

Vatican Photo Shoot

You probably should have a photo shoot while in the Vatican, but this one doesn’t really count. It’s so minimal, honestly…

Grey Plum Cardigan
Army Green Plum Cargo Pants

Early Morning City

It is quite chill in the morning, hence me being so covered up. I’m going to predict a mish-mash of weather during this month.

Navy Mavi Serena Denim Leggings

I’ve been doing this for 200 days!?

That’s a lot of days, and a lot of pictures! Kind of crazy to think about.

It’s taking me a while to get back into the swing of things. Everything seems to be falling apart around me because I ignored so many things while focusing all on helping Elise with the wedding. I feel stressed just thinking about all the things I have to catch up on!

Today’s comfort outfit is brought to you by Dish Jeans, Plum Tank, some random Australian Tank, flip flops, and a key  necklace!

I also enjoy how the placement of my bun makes me look like a boy. Probably should have opted for the Hipster bun and not the Nonna bun.

Tomorrow, I will catch up on everything, and everything WILL be better!

Red as Bricks

The wind came for a visit today. It blew stuff around and made for going the chilly walk to the mall after work. Probably should have brought a jacket. Oh well.

I didn’t really have anything excited planned for my outfit today. The wind kind of ruined any chances of wearing a skirt so I just opted for an old faithful jazzed up with some studded earrings.

Mavi Serena Denim Leggings in Navy
Spring Gladiator Sandals in Black and Gold
Aldo Large Studded Earrings in Navy

A very simple look, but I like the addition of the sandals and earrings. They make it look totally different!
