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!!!

The Mixing of Neutrals

We got a last minute dinner invite from friends today which was totally awesome because I was in no mood to cook and hadn’t taken anything out of the freezer yet. Score 1 for being lazy! The best part of the holidays is catching up with everyone and having dinners and spending time. It was such a lovely evening.

I went with a very ‘blah’ colour palate today, but I love the colours none the less. Something you need a bit of the ‘non-exciting’.

White T + Taupe Kersh Sweater (so friggin comfortable!) + Grey Mavi Denim Leggings + Black Boots + Silver Beaded Necklace from Plum

I love the way this looks put together. I was a little uneasy about the way it might look, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Sometimes neutrals can be your best friends <3

Work Shmerk

I was definitely not ready to go back to work today. I envy those who get all of the Christmas break off work. Not that three days in a half dead office is difficult, but I’d much rather be sitting on the couch with a cup of tea.

I know that this is the last official week of the project, and I probably should put some sort of effort into my outfits, but honestly, I am so exhausted!

Today I look like a rocked our farm worker. I kind of like it actually.

I layered a long white T with my Plaid Boyfriend blouse from Plum. I then wore my 3/4 sleeve Kersh Boyfriend sweater over top and rolled up the cuffs to match.

Dish motorcycle jeans, faux fryes, and my hair in a braid and I am ready to milk the cows.

I guess deep down inside, I’m kind of rugged.

I Like To Drag It Out

Colds, that is. What is this, almost two weeks now!? Maybe if I actually took the time to rest and relax I might be able to get this bug out of me. Serves me right.

I was gross face today, so I had to stay cozy and warm and drugged.

I opted for a Kleenex as my accessory de jour.

Sick in a Dress

So, I put aside my cold for a minute to wear a dress. It is true! We got these new fleece lined leggings at work, and I knew, as someone who is always cold, I had to buy these. These leggings are amazing! Probably the warmest I’ve been in a while, and I’m not even wearing pants!

I wore the dress I bought in the Summer from target. I wore a white T under it, because I’m obsessed with doing that. Teal Kersh Sweater over top added a pop of colour. Fleece tights and grey knee high socks add some ‘leg interest’ with my black boots. I love this idea of wearing tights and knee high socks.

For as much jewellery as I have, I only went with simple white earrings that I stole from my Mom years ago. I was sane enough to put this outfit together, but not sane enough to accessorize it.

Now that I have these fleece lined leggings, dresses and skirts in the Winter will definitely be an option for me!

Cold Sore Face

With less then 2 weeks left until this whole project is over, you’d think I’d maybe put some more effort into things. To bad its that time of year where I get a cold that lasts forever and slowly eats away at my soul. I woke up with another cold sore today. 2nd in as many weeks, but this one is visible so it is therefore grosser. Ugh. It makes me feel like poop.

Just the usual.

The Attack of Grey & Blue

The stripe trend carries on as it usually does. I thought I would mix prints and patterns today. I know, what a CRAZY concept.

Oddly enough, I have a T-shirt and a Sweater that is made of up almost the exact same colours. Only makes sense to wear them together, right?

I wore my Dex leopard print grey & blue T with my Kersh striped grey & blue sweater. They got along quite nicely, so I added a grey scarf to the mix to keep in my neck heat. I realize that when dressing for reality you aren’t always dressing fashionably. Well, this blog is about reality, so unfortunately I feel the need to wear a scarf every single day! Ha.

Down below I wore my Yoga Jeans and Black Boots. We went out to Burnaby Village Museum tonight, so I needed extra warmth in the leg area. My yoga jeans are thicker then my denim leggings so they were the perfect option.

The print/pattern together is quite f un, but again, I need to get some more printed Ts so I can explore this option some more!

Outfit Love

How predictable am I? Very predictable because every time I wear this sweater I am in love.

Tonight we went on the Christmas Train around Stanley Park, so wearing layers was a must. We still froze our butts off, but at least the extra layers took a little of the edge off.

The train we fun times and we all went out for foods afterwards which was fun times as well.

I wanted to parade around in my comfy and warm outfit all night long!

Down By The River

Well, this outfit kind of turned out better then I expected. It’s not normally something I would wear, but I decided to layer a bunch of different things to see how it turned out. Plus, during this time of cold and sickness, it was nice to be all cozy and warm.

I know I’ve worn this scarf quite regularly these days, but it just seems to fit so many things. I particularly love the way it contrasts with the blue. One of my favourite colour combinations!

So I…wore a white long sleeve T, under a grey over sized T, under a blue Kersh sweater, topped off with a green handkerchief scarf. I wore the white long sleeve T one, so I would be warm, and two, so it the sleeves would hang out longer then the sweater. I like cuffs like that.

As for pants, I wore my Mavi cargo pants and black boots.

These black boots work for most outfits, but they are a little too casual/rain boot-esque for my tastes these days. I need to get a flat black boot that is a little bit more fancy. Kind of like a cross between these boots and my other black heeled boots. Maybe then I would be happy!? Ha, who knows!

Stripy Mc Stripe

I’m not very good at being creative bold pieces of clothing. All I ever seem to do is pair it with something simple and let the bold piece stand out. It just ends up becoming so mundane. I need a lesson in creativity.

While this sweater is not HUGELY over the top , it is enough so that all I want to wear something basic with it. I ‘tried’ to step out of the box today and paired it with a grey T, black denim leggings and a black scarf, but it’s not really that out there. I like the idea of mixing a patterned sweater with a printed T, but most of my T-shirts are in basic colours, or striped. I really don’t own that many printed Ts. Clearly, I need to change that.

The only adventurous part of this outfit was a clip I found that matched my sweater. Cutest thing ever!

I like todays outfit, but I really feel I need to push myself some more when it comes to fashion. Especially when it comes to the pieces I love.
