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!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Today was busy and filled with lots of family, food, and gifts!

We were up early so we could open each others gifts, and then head to Chads parents house for Christmas breakfast. This meant I only got 5 hours sleep, so I was a little lacking in energy today! Back home for an afternoon nap and then off to my parents for Christmas dinner.

Christmas for me, is about running around in comfort, I’ll let Christmas Eve be the time to dress up fancy!

The scarf is a gift from my dearest friend Shazzi, whos Mom made it for me! Best gift ever! I wore it all day and was kept so warm and cozy. I LOVE IT!

Hope you guys all had awesome Christmas’!

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.

Sunday Special

Today we took a trip to the wonderful city of Mission. Long story short, my Dad went to high school at Westminster Abby in Mission. He became friends with a couple of the monks there and so at Christmas we usually go and visit. I am obsessed with going if only for the amazing collection of 70s furniture and decor they have. It is like stepping back in time.

Their Mountain View room makes for awesome photoshoots.

I can’t tell if my Italian sweater clashes or matches the couch.  None the less, I love how bright the colour is.

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!

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.

Another Day in Bed

This Sunday was spent exactly the same as last Sunday. Other then going out for a short while in the morning, I spent it napping and watching TV.

I thought I would spare you another last minute PJ photo and actually take one of my moring outfit.

Nothing too exciting, just something presetable for public consumption!

In With The Trees

I hung out with the Christmas Tree today. You only get so much time with it in one year, so you really have to live it up when you can.

Running around in those boots yesterday killed me. And trust me, I did run. My feet were so sore this morning that they screamed for a pair of checkered vans, and you know me, when they ask for the Vans they get the Vans.

A casual Hump Day, I reverted back to my 2 favorite colours from earlier this week; grey & purple, Elise’s Wedding colours when I come to think about it. Actually the scarf I am wearing is from Elise’s wedding. See, it’s all connected.

I haven’t warn my Kersh V Neck Pull Overs yet this Winter, so I thought I would bust one out. I chose the Grey one, naturally. Paired with a white t, purple scarf, and Dish jeans, and I had myself a comfortable mid-week party.

Tomorrow they are calling for a rainy disaster of a day. I am not looking forward to it :S

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.
