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!

Over Salted, Over Layered

Over salted – possible. Over layered – NEVER!

I was wrapped tightly today, all cozied up. It is nice to be warm!

Today I wore grey and white Ts layered and wrapped with a purple and grey striped sweater. Purple & Grey, an excellent combination in my books. A grey fuzzy scarf to match, just to make sure I don’t catch a wind and end up sick for days (old Italian wise tale). Motorcycle Jeans from Dish because I like texture, and my Faux Fryes because I want to wear them every day.

This outfit works more then I thought it would. I love the shade of grey in the T-shirt and how it works with the sweater, and the texture of the jeans with the sweater! Sweet Jesus!

Yes, I get obsessive about these things.

Its Time For Christmas Balls!

Our annual Christmas Party is tonight. The house is fully decorated and everything is ready! I love having all the Christmas stuff out. The lights make everything look so much more cozy.

This outfit is kind of a repeat (ok it IS a repeat) but there is a legitamate reason for it, other then the fact that I  just wanted to wear it again. Since tonight is technically a night in, I wanted to FINALLY bust out a pair of knitted Dex leggings I bought at Christmas last year. They are so warm and cozy and I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to wear them. Only problem is I don’t own many tops that cover my butt. Thankfully, The Garage makes extra long Ts and so this tank top worked perfectly. Topped off with my Dex Chanel inspired sweater and I had the perfect Holiday outfit!

Now, I clearly need to invest in more long tops, especially since I have more fun leggings waiting for me on my rack at work. Leggings are not PANTS, remember, so wearing a top that does not cover your front junk and your back junk is NOT allowed! Haha.

Thankfully, I am all covered tonight!

Hello Love

I loved this outfit, but I am not a huge fan of how big this tank top makes me look. It’s funny how certain prints can play games with your eyes and make you look bigger then you really are. A little bit of print is a good thing, too much, is clearly a bad thing.

I haven’t worn my Chanel Sweater since Italy. When you wear it that many days in a row, it’s easy to get sick of it. Today, however, I knew it would go with this outfit and I just had to wear it.

I was really excited when I found this printed tank from The Garage. It was so cheap and I knew it would work out as the perfect layering piece. The cold winds are coming, but until they show up, it’s tank tops and sweaters for me. It’s a nice change from always wearing T-shirts and such.

The elements of this outfit are pretty simple. Printed Tank, Chanel Inspired Sweater, Black Denim Leggings, and Black boots. Together, however, they make a somewhat elegant look. Well, as elegant as you can get wearing a bunch of knits.

I just love the way it looks and how it all works together, minus the print making me look ten times bigger then I am :S

I Am Loosing My  Mind

All day long I said to Chad, ‘remember, you have to take a picture of me today’. I don’t know why I just didn’t get him to take a picture instead of reminding him every 5 minutes, but what do you want from me. I am going to admit it, this Blog is starting to become a burden, and I’m almost finished it. This back log of Italy pictures is killing me. Anyways, I washed my face, got ready for bed and then realized I had failed. So I got up, got dressed and shoved the camera in Chads hands!

When In Pisa, Go To Florence

It’s true, I mean, it’s just down the street. I had a bad experience in Florence last time around. It was just too busy and too crazy for me. I’m a small town girl who just wants to hide when in a big city. This time around, however, Florence was good to me and even makes me want to go back. The all day Leather markets didn’t hurt either. *Swoon*

Disaster Zone!

There was so much last minute stuff going on today, I didn’t have a second to take a picture until 11pm at night! By that point I was minutes away from dieing of a massive headache, so clearly, I did not look my best!

Running around, shopping, dinner with family, drinks at the cousins. I don’t think we could have packed more into today if we tried.

I swear this outfit looked 100 times better earlier in the day.

I wore my basic white Plum T with my Dex Chanel inspired sweater (which I am currently so obsessed with that I will be bringing it to Italy!). I’m on the Yoga Jean band waggon currently. It’s a great change of pace from the denim leggings which strangle the life out of me most days.

It was a bit chilly out so I threw on the scarf my Mom got me from Alaska, though it looks like its strangling me in the picture.

Yea, today was kind of a disaster. I tend to have those kinds of moments when it’s time for my daily photo!

Food for All

Well, I just finished hosting both parentals in a food fest extravaganza. I’ve never done so many dishes in my life! I am beat.

We spent all day preparing and everything was a success, I just have no energy left! Haha.

Now I am going to BED!

I’m Not That Old

We spent the evening with my Parentals tonight. It’s their 27th Wedding Anniversary and they chose to spend it with us and some friends at a Pub fundraiser.  Well, I don’t know that they really chose it since I kinda said ‘Hey, we’re coming over for dinner’. But, it’s OK cause they like us!

I wasn’t really feeling this outfit today. Not really sure why, but meh, just not me.

I wore my wide leg Dish Jeans with some wedges which are really cute. Only problem is that the flare of the pant is so big it covers the wedges and you can’t tell I’m wearing shoes at all!

I pulled out an old Dex summery blouse from my closet. It’s really cute, but it just made me feel very preggers today. I should probably just save it for when I actually am.

I threw on a blue Kersh Ribbed Waist Cardigan in the morning cause it was still a bit chill out.

This week has been beautiful, weather wise. If it stays this way, I may be brave enough to pull out a dress or two.
