I Survived!

If I tell someone the amount of work I put myself thru this week, AND considering the fact that it was actually my idea (go figure!!),  one would think I'm cray cray. Seriously!

Old Navy shirt dress, AE belt, H&M scarf,
Nicole Miller leggings (Costco),
Hally Hensen boots (Winners)

By Wednesday, yes, by Wednesday, I was running out of steam, couldn't even be bothered putting thoughts into my outfit. Luckily, it's a short work week for me, so by yesterday, Thursday, I managed to muster whatever steam that's left inside to carry me through the rest of the day...

I suppose I wanted to challenge myself, to see what I can do. Was it necessary? Of course not. It's one of those things, you know, like I needed another stone to clunk my head with... O well...

Nygard cuff (Sears), BR bracelet

The important thing is I survived the week. I think I did what I set out to do. I'd like to think I did well. Maybe... maybe not... meh, who cares... I know I did it, whew!

TGIF!!!

Prematurely Rushing Thru the Season

I was kinda' getting tired wearing pants lately, which in my line of work, means pretty much jeans. I couldn't even bring myself to grab some dress pants, you know, just to change it up a bit.

Gap jacket & shorts, H&M blouse,
Joe Fresh ballet flats

So I wore shorts instead. HAH!

Not necessarily the smartest choice, for a typical Vancouver winter day, ie, rainy day. Aw shucks!

BR ring

So out came the rain boots as well, to get me to and from work. There was one brief moment, nonetheless, when I thought I convinced myself that spring might just be around the corner... pfffftt... yah right!

More White

In the last few years, never really been a fan of white sweaters/knits. Not sure why. I guess it feels like too much of a blank canvas, for lack of better words.

Tristan sweater (hand-me-down from other sis),
Gap jeans, Aerosole boots (Winners)

Not anymore. Thanks to other sis, I now have a couple. Which I like very much, surprisingly.

Not sure if I'll be that rarin' to go add to the collection. But as it is, I think I've found a new favorite:p

Monday, Monday...

Short Over Long

Figuring out what to wear yesterday morning, couldn't keep the image of short over long out of my head, thanks to my sis and one of my fave blogs.

Simply Manakin Petite jacket (Winners),
Gap shirt, AE jeggings,
C'est Chic boots (Designer Depot)

Ok, I didn't have the moto jacket that they wore. And even if I did, it would not have been enough to keep me warm on its own, or it would have been to hot to wear all day at work... excuses, excuses...

So, I translated it the way it makes sense in my head (ok, relatively speaking... hehe) that's appropriate (again, relatively speaking) for work.

I love the details of this shirt. Funny enough, I don't think I've ever worn it by itself to really allow for the details to show, even in the summer! Go figure! So almost always, since it gets buried in the layers, I still end up wearing a necklace. Go figure! The ironic part is, I have another shirt, albeit with different details but same concept, that suffers from the same dilemma. Go figure!

Yay for another 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)

Sloppy, er, Slouchy, Boho

With all the rain we've been getting lately, I thought I'd be more inspired to wear colors, you know, just to counteract the effect of the gray weather, but apparently not.

Gap cardi, Esprit dress, Urban Planet leggings,
Tommy Hilfiger boots (Winners),
necklace (gift from mom from the Philippines)

Welll, at least it's not all black. Working my way towards the other end of the rainbow spectrum, slowly, but surely...

... maybe starting with the necklace, at least?

No?

... love the buckles:)

I realize wearing the "biker" boots does not necessarily go with the feel of the outfit, but it was just pouring all day and need to keep my feet dry! What about rain boots? Oh yah, guess I can wear that too, eh?

heehee...

Rainy Days and Mondays

A local anchor mentioned how we talk a lot about the weather this side of town. It's true!

Nicole Miller cardi, H&M shirt, BR belt, Gap jeans,
Born boots (Winners)

The weather seems to dictate how we prepare for our days, quite a bit, I must say. Why is that?

I suppose when it's a possibility to see snow, rain, and sun all in one day, what's a person to do but be ready for all 3, no?

... love the eggplant color!:p

Guess gotta' go with the flow... literally, sometimes, hah!

Rainy days and Mondays... is normal, this side of town... heehee...
