Oh No You Didn’t

Today is a perfect example of those days where you looked good leaving the house, but don’t look so good coming home. Tip for anyone who ever decided to take on a project like this, take your photos in the morning right after you get ready and you will look your best! DO NOT wait until 6pm on a Friday and think you will look just as refreshed and glowing as you did in the morning.

Fridays have been a disaster at work the last little while. You would expect them to be relaxing, but no.

Also, my hair looks like a greasy rats nest in these photos. FAIL.

But anyways, lets talk about my outfit.

Boyfriend Blouse + Boyfriend Cardigan = New Favorite Layered Look. Chad actually thought I was wearing one of his shirts when I got dressed this morning. Priceless.

I layered this look with a long white T because that is my signature, and this outfit was looking a little too dark for my liking. Yoga Jeans and black boots covered my lower half, and a trinket filled necklace covered my neck scar. I was clearly a little too inspired by yesterdays jewellery selection and went over bored today. See, I am so all about less instead of more. I feel over done just because I wore a necklace with this outfit. Crazy, I know.

Prancing around in this was fun today.

Skull Head

I love my skull sweater, though it seems to be one of those pieces you either really love, or you really don’t. Oh 60 year old Finnish pattern maker does NOT like this sweater. Hahaha, she is so blunt about it!

I have this think with buttoning crew neck sweater at the top, and just letting them hang open. I just love the way they look.

Today I paired my Skill Sweater with a basic white T, Charcoal Denim Leggings and my black boots.

To add in some extra fun, I grabbed my Moms big square plastic earrings from the 80s. They definitely make a statement!

You don’t wanna meet me at the end of a dark alley!

Quirky Day in the Office

It’s also Slob It Up day at the office, brought to you by yours truly. It’s funny calling yourself a ‘fashionista’ when you dress more casual then a hobo. I guess that’s why I try NOT to call myself a fashionista.

Busy, Party, Party, Busy = Danielle doesn’t like getting dressed on Monday Morning.

I have lost all sense of creativity.

Today’s Monday Morning Outfit is brought to you by a basic grey T from Plum, a teal Kersh sweater, some Dish jeans, and my Blue Checkered Vans. I threw in the black scarf to hide my face.

I kind of do belong in a warehouse.

A Table for Two

In sticking with the disaster theme, lets talk about how ghetto these photos are and how I look like I need help in both of them. Danielle you FAIL.

I had to plan an outfit that would work in two different establishments. 1) Fancy enough for dinner at the Pear Tree 2) Casual enough for Alicias Birthday Party at Academic. I think I succeeded.

Though you can’t really see, I wore two tank tops layered over each other, blousing one out, so I could have it partially tucked in as to make the belt visible. I then layered it with a Royal coloured Kersh Sweater I purchased from Plum many years ago. To  the restaurant I wore a simple black and white heart scarf to class up my neck area.

I wanted to stay away from skinny jeans and boots this time around, so I went for my Dish Wide Leg Jeans and some black heels (which you clearly can not see).

I think it all looked quite cute together, but you can’t tell because I am making a horrible face.

I love the contrast of the belt to the blue in the jeans and sweater. Favorite!

Next time, I promise to take better photos.

Bring On the Warmth

Could I BE any more bundled up? Probably not.

I love this scarf that I bought from Plum early this year. It is so chunky and cozy, only problem is it sheds like a mother on my black Pea Coat. Now it kind of looks like Grover. It does get to be a bit much to wear all day because it is so thick and cumbersome, but it keeps me warm, so I guess that is the price I pay!

I wanted to go about my day all dressed in black with one pop of colour. As an Italian, I don’t think I wear enough black. It use to be my favorite colour when I was younger, not because I was Gothic, but because I was/am Italian.

I started off my black outfit with a stripped T-shirt from the Garage. The stripes give a bit of a visual interest. Next I grabbed my black Kersh Boyfriend Cardigan. My Dish Motorcycle jeans aren’t technically black, but they are dark, and I love their texture, so they get a pass. My plaid boots were a perfect choice considering my outfit was becoming more about texture and print then about being Black. Ha.

Tomorrow it is suppose to snow. Oh God, what am I going to wear!?

Wood Central

I just realized that the colours in this picture are all very similar. Didn’t realized I dressed to match my floors and cabinets!

I’ve been freezing my butt off at work so I’ve been trying to wear things that cover as much skin as possible. Only problem is these Denim Leggings are made of paper and let all your body heat out. Bastards!

This outfit is very similar to one I wore last week. Same basic scenario, just a different top.

Today I wore my brown Kersh pull over  for its fuzzy and warming effects. I decided to protect my neck with not one, but two scarves. I got the idea to twist them together to make a doubled, layered look. I think it looks pretty cool. Mavi Denim Leggings down below, with my brown, wood matching boots.

Kind of a simple look mixed up with different textures and patterns!

MONDAY!

It is ok that it’s Monday because I am wearing my new favorite combination. I am so easy to predict because I love the same old stuff.

Stripes? Check!
Scarf? Check!
Straight Leg Jeans? Check!
Checkered Vans? Check!

HEAVEN

I love this sweater that I got from Kersh @ Plum. I love this scarf that I bought ages ago when I worked at Bootlegger. I love how the colours mix together and just look awesome. I love of warm I was ALL DAY. I love this love white T-Shirt from the garage. I love these Dish jeans from Plum. I love these Checkered Vans that I bought one Boxing Day I bought a few years ago. I love it SO MUCH.

Ok, ok, I think that is enough LOVE for one day!

Peace and Quiet

Last nights rain and snow didn’t really do much, however, tonight they are calling for full on snow and I am EXCITED! I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow, until the evening when I am taking the Skytrain, so it can snow as much as it wants and I won’t be annoyed! Yay!

Tonight we have no plans, which is actually very odd, but I am not complaining because I need a night of doing nothing and worrying about nothing. Work is still crazy and I am still behind and it is slowly eating away at me :S

Todays Cozy Comfort is brought to you by my fireplace. That and my Ninja Sweater, White T, Motorcycle Jeans, and Faux Fryes.

Friday Perfection.

Where Has My Photographer Gone?

Weird work hours and afternoon adventures has left me photographer-less a little to often this last little while. You can guarantee when I stand in front of the coffee table it means I have no one to take my photo. It doesn’t help that I don’t have a tri-pod also and have to prob up my camera on the table.

Today’s outfit is kind of an out there attempt at doing something different. I grabbed all these pieces randomly, put them on, didn’t hate them, but didn’t love them, and just thought ‘why the hell not!’.

Looking at these pictures now, this outfit doesn’t look too CRAZY, but I felt crazy as I wore it.

Everything here is from Plum, minus the  necklace which is from Forever 21.

I guess feeling crazy and looking crazy aren’t always the same thing :S

The Last of the Events

Today is the last day of our busy schedule. Chads niece Emily turns 11 and today is her birthday party. A nice family dinner is probably exactly what the doctor ordered. Saves me from cooking at least :P

I’ll make this Sunday post a quicky, yours truely needs some sleep.

Cozy and comfortable fashions.

Now I just want to grab some blankets and pillows and pass out in front of the TV!
