Stripeaholic

I guess once you go stripes, kinda' hard to swipe. The habit, that is... womp, womp...

Gap top, BDG jeggings (UO), Aldo boots

So, that's 3 days of stripes, in a row, not counting the weekend. Ok, how can that be in a row if it skipped days? *scratch head* Ok, kinda'... Plenty more of stripes to go thru, if I so wish/want... We'll see...

... gotta show the elbow patch, no?

Been raining all day, then it just stopped, thankfully. Guess its' nothing compared to what people are going thru in the east coast. People stay safe, I hope...

Splat!

On Friday...

H&M top, scarf (Winners), BDG jeggings (UO),
Clarks desert boots (Winners)

That is the top (and the scarf) that wasn't sufficient to keep me warm at work, darn you June-uary!

That is the pants that I haven't worn in months, then I remembered why. As comfortable as it is, it just keeps stretching throughout the day, and when that happens, anybody with a not-so-rail-thin body can tell you what the result is. HAH!

That is the boots that I really like, still do, but was a size too big so I had to put insoles. But because it's a size big, for a feet dragger like myself, one can easily miscalculate steps. As a result, a big major SPLAT!

I'm fine, fortunately. No broken bones or anything. Just one big bruised knee (and ego perhaps? nah, that ship has sailed a while back hehe).

Moving on...

Timber!

With today's weather, it felt like we're hurtling back to fall, skipping summer entirely. Bah!

My day started out normal enough. But then, as the day wore on, the energy level just kept on going down, rather than up.  By the end of the day, I felt really tired. Worse, I looked really tired, so I was told. Bah!

Even hubs told me my eyes looked tired a minute ago. More bah!

Guess this is what happens when one had a long weekend and thinking it was a long weekend, decided to tackle long overdue chores around the house, which got one sore all over, but at the end, feeling quite satisfied that things were done, finally... yippee... boo... yippee...

Here's to the rest of the week! HAH!

Mixed Patterns

Other (style) bloggers have said it before, I say it too (hah, (style) blogger! me!), one of the beauty of reading other blogs out there is that they provide you all sorts of ideas about style/outfit.

AE button-down shirt, Esprit button-down shirt (inside),
BDG jeggings (UO), C'est Chic boots (Designer Depot)

Thanks to all these blogs, I've seen this look of layered button-down shirts with contrasting patterns (I think that's what I remember seeing anyways:p) enough times that I just had to try it.

Well, for what it's worth, this is my version. 

necklace (gift from mom from her cruise)

Too bad the collar(s) got hidden, pretty much buried under the hair...

bracelet (The Bay)

(but you see it in the sleeves)

Going thru some major system changes at work so just really trying to stay as chill as I can. Perhaps why all the recent pops of color and prints? You know, to inject some fun and something light to the atmosphere? As if I'm not bubbly enough! HAH!

Color Me Plaid

It's been a while (I think) since we've seen the sun a-shining. That is, until today. And boy did it shine! At last!

Funny how it felt as if the whole city was out on the street by the afternoon. Seriously! Have we been that deprived?

And I tell ya, everybody just seemed to be in this wonderful mood. What a difference weather can make, eh?

I guess I picked the right day to wear what I now call my happy plaid. Loving it! Well, it's purple primarily, a big fave, and better yet, it's got orange, one of the most fave...

I say a good way to start the weekend...

Skip to my Lou

Didn't really set out to skip a day posting but I guess I did. Although I wasn't really planning to post an outfit yesterday, which meant I went to work wearing what I really shouldn't have *gasp*, but I did, so sue me, I thought I'd post an ideal outfit that I had in my head, but I didn't... O well...

Vamp top and Aerosole boots (Winners),
UO jeggings

Having kinda' busy days at work lately, but the good thing, with all the things I've gone thru' the couple of months before Christmas, busy days like what I'm going thru' now almost seem like a cake walk. Scary thought, I know...

Have to learn how to look stressed, I guess. HAH! Kidding!

necklace (gift from mom the Philippines)

Good news is TGIFT!!! (thank god it's Friday tomorrow!!! heehee... trying to see if this will catch on:p)

Yawn!

With the temp dipping by the minute and exponentially (ok, I'm exaggerating, but still), kinda' getting tired of feeling like Ralphie's brother, Randy, in A Christmas Story, you know, in that scene when their mom was getting them all bundled up to go to school. Seriously! HAH!

I'd rather freeze, I thought. No, not really.

Ralph Lauren shirt (hand-me-down from mom),
Gap cardi, Nygard necklace (Sears?),
Aerosole boots (Winners)

How does one seriously get inspired to dress up in negative temp weather?!?!

Yoohoo, spring, when you coming?!?

Not Any Better

Didn't want to put much thought to my outfit yesterday; hence, no post yesterday. Thought today would be better. But was it?

Nevada shirt (Sears), BDG jeggings,
Gap belt, Born boots (Winners)

teehee...

This week just seems to drag, I tell ya. Thank god it's Friday tomorrow already...

What to Wear? What to Wear?

All I knew was I had to be warm when I was getting ready this morning. So what did I wear? A spring-y jacket, a tee and oxford shoes.

Maybe it was the cold meds muddling my brain.

Gap jacket, H&M shirt,
BDG jeggings,
Le Crabe Rouge oxfords (Winners)

But forecast did call for mix of rain and snow, which turned out to be just rain, whew!

So this...

... could only be worn once I got to work, and to get there, I had to wear this...

Tretorn rainboots (Winners)

And although I may not have been thinking straight with my outfit, one thing I did get right is my outerwear. Thank god!

Esprit jacket (Ross Dress for Less, many many moons ago)

Cold, cold, go away!

Blue Turtle

Today feels like winter for sure. I think we've hit the negative, with the wind chill, for the first time this season. Single-digit, at least, if that's any consolation. Brrrrr...

Sweater & belt (Ross Dress for Less),
BDG jeans (UO),
Aerosole boots (Winners)

Honestly, all I cared for was that I was warm. And yes, this was only the first layer.

Lumberjack

Met friends for brunch today. It was a wet day.

That's our city for you. Rain, rain, rain! It's not lushly green for nothing. Hah!

Nevada plaid shirt (Sears),
BDG jeggings (UO),
Born boots & infinity scarf (Winners)

Have I mentioned before that I like plaid?:p

How much more Canadian can it get than this? Don't think it can. LOL
