Blazer: Warehouse One $30, Tunic: Wild Rose $17, Belt: Thrift $1, Leggings: Zellers $6, Boots: Value Village: $13, Purse: Wild Rose $20
Only one picture today, i took these photos on my one of my days off work last week but the sun was so bright i couldnt look at the camera. I definitely need to invest in some nice sunglasses, i sat on my favourite pair and totally killed them a few months ago. I really love this outfit i bought the tunic on my last shopping trip and it is so adorable, i dont think i can get away with wearing it by itself though since it is on the short side. These winter boots are my pride and joy i found them at Value Village for thirteen dollars!!!!! I can hardly ever find second hand shoes since i am a size ten or eleven but these babies fit perfectly and are completely lined so they are super warm in the cold weather plus as a bonus they are real leather :). I am going to the movies tonight to see The Vow has anyone seen it, is it good? I generally am not the romantic movie type (action and sci fi all the way) but my friend really wants to see it so i am hoping it will be cute!! I am off work today and tomorrow so i am going to try and catch up on reading my favourite blogs along with replying to comments. I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Dear Sons And Daughters Of Hungry Ghosts
Shorts: super old, Blazer: Value Village $8, Shirt: Thrift $2, Leggings: Stiches $10, Boots: Spring $15, Scarf: my mom made it for me :)
I really miss the warmer weather for taking outfit photos, i got outside and had to quit in all of ten minutes the other day. I hadnt planned on my scarf or hat being in these photos but i totally underestimated how cold the wind was which is why there are no photos of me looking at the camera. I kept trying to smile and it turned into this frightening grimace thing!! The last time i wore this leopard print shirt was in these photos which are pretty much my favourite i have ever taken. I found it at my local thrift store for only $2 and i always wonder why i dont use it more often when i find it underneath a pile of clothing in my room. I dont know whether or not i have admitted this before but i am just a tiny bit messy no matter how hard i try the clothes always gravitate from the closet to the floor :). Also I just wanted to thank everyone for all of your comments they really are so awesome and always make me feel so much better if i am depressed or down, so i really do appreciate them!! I hope you all had a nice day!!

Restless Thoughts Are Haunting Me Tonight
Blazer: Warehouse One $30, Shirt: Bluenotes $7, Pants: Value Village: $10, Flats: Aldo $25, Purse: Thrift $3, Belt Value Vilage $5
Super simple outfit this time. I had such a hard time editing these photos to get some i could use, it was so cold out i didnt bother checking them to much at the time and sure enough most of the pics were totally whited out. Plus i got into this very weird lean thing where my feet where straight but the rest was all over the place, so it was not good!! I have been wearing jeans alot lately, these ones in particular are very comfortable although i am inbetween sizes (i hate when that happens), my legs and waist are two different sizes so the whole saggy bum thing is a problem. I bought this striped top the other day, there was a sale so i got two for the price of one. I grabbed the largest size because i thought they would be great oversized shirt and didnt bother to try them on. Big mistake, when i got home i put one on and it was way bigger than i had thought i only wanted it to slightly oversized. So always always try things on, this has happened before but i never seem to learn better, anyways they work tucked in with something over them or with bodycon skirts so its not a total loss a size or two smaller would have been perfect though. Have good day everyone!!

We know It Will From Time To Time
Blazer: Value Village $8, Shirt: really old??, Skirt: Urban Behaviour $10, Shoes: Spring $25
I have had these pictures for a little while and i had decided not post them because the outfit is rather blah and i was having major flash problems that day everything whited out!! But i wont be able to get out to take photos for a little while and i wanted to keep some regular posting schedule so here they are. I bought this skirt in the summer, i couldnt resist the fact it was bodycon and dark plum colour. I am totally banning myself from buying anymore of that type skirts i counted my collection the other day and i own about seven so thats seems like enough for now lol. Although one night when i was up way to late looking through ebay i did purchase a bodycon dress from h&m which i kindof shake my head at now, i am crossing my fingers that it will look alright. I think i might have to reserve it for the very rare ocasions i go out but i will take outfit photos once it comes in the mail :). I hope everyone had a good day!!

We're Only Young and Naive Still
Blazer: Value Village $9, Shirt: Bluenotes $13, Shorts: ? (really old), Shoes: Aldo $28, Bag: Thrift $3
I decided a few days ago i am really going to dedicate more time to blogging and get back to posting more often (i swear i say this every other post, dead serious this time though lol). I havent really felt like dressing up to much the last few months, lately i have been really into more simple casual outfits. I just ordered these flats last week and i totally love them now, they are my very first pair!! I got super inspired to finally get some after going through the entire archives of this blog, so amazing i would seriously LOVE to have her entire wardrobe. I think the leopard print is just so cute on these and now want to invest in a black and red pair as well. I really dont know how i lived without owning a single pair of flats before, they are just so handy! A few months ago i did a interview on SheDels blog here and one of my outfits was featured on the La Caterinas blog here (its so exciting to see yourself on someone elses blog!!), i always forget these but check out their blogs everyone :). I hope everyone had a lovely evening!!

I Know That We'll Be Safe And Sound
Blazer: Wearhouse One $30, Tanktop: ??? (super old), Skirt: Fairweathers $15, Shoes: Spring $24, Belt: Thrift $2
Sorry for my blogging absence everyone i dont even have a good excuse why i havent posted in over a week so i will just promise to do better and blog more often!!! I am really tired right now so this post is going to be a short one. I literally own no sandals besides the ones in my previous post which is just terrible now that the weather has finally got warmer. I tried to order some online but at first i got the wrong size and then they sent me the a different colour so now the sandals i wanted are completely sold out which is quite sad. I have really boney weird feet so it is really hard for me to find any that fit!! I definitely need to find more then one pair soon though. I hope you all have a lovely evening :).

Whose Get Up After Where Gone?
Blazer: Thrift $4, Shirt: Bootlegger $5, Jeans: Value Village $10, Converse: Thrift $7.50, Belt: Thrift (it is super old)
So this outfit is super simple but i love it just the same. I definitely think sometimes i mistake simplicity for being boring which is so not the case!!! There is something so chic about a white tshirt and blue jeans. I got these babies at value village and have pretty much wearing them non stop since. The two things i dislike about jeans is that fact the absolutely EVERYONE wears them constantly were i live and i can never find any to fit my very muscular thighs. These ones were nice and stretchy which thankfully solved that problem. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend, i am actually going out on a date any minute now :) so wish me luck ladies!!

We Lay Down The Law
Scarf: Gift from my sister, Blazer: Warehouse One $30, Pants: Bluenotes $15, Boots: Aldo $52, Shirt: Bluenotes $13
Happy belated Easter!!! i hope everyone had a lovely weekend and ate lots of yummy food, i know i sure did (there were these homemade cinnamon buns that were just ridiculously good). I have gotten a bit sick of skirts and have been wearing pants way more lately, definitely need to pick up another pair though since i really only have these ones! I wear this black blazer literally all of the time, i bought it a few years ago and it just goes with absolutely everything. I have alot of blazers, about six or seven but it is the one i turn to when i really have no idea what to wear. I wasnt very happy with these photos they didn't turn out very well which is why there is only two, i promise better posts soon and more frequently!! For a while i was debating about getting a new blog header but i am really attached to my old one, its been there for ages so i edited it in photoshop a bit today and i think it looks so much better :). Have a great evening ladies!!

I've Gotta Heart Full Of Soul
Blouse: Thrift $2, Blazer Warehouse One $30, Pants, Bluenotes: $15, Boots: Aldo $52, Jewellery: Ardenes, Sunglasses: Value Village
Yup you are seeing clearly ladies and maybe some gentlemen :) i am wearing pants!!! I have not worn jeans in a long long long time especially not on here, i think i have only taken outfit photos once with some ages ago when i first started blogging. Originally i was wearing my black bodycon skirt and tights with this outfit while we were shopping in the city. But I got these babies in Bluenotes for about seventy percent off!!!! I had been looking for blue jeans and i could have sworn in the store they looked dark blue but when i got them out in the car i realized they were really black. I have a hard time finding pants which fit my um "muscular" legs they are always to tight on the thighs or falling down at the waist so i decided to keep these anyways because i really loved them! We stopped to visit my aunt and uncle which is where i took these photos and i decided to change into them because it was ridiculously cold and that skirt isn't the warmest thing to be wearing :). I seriously love how the barn looks in these photos, i wish i had something like it in my back yard!! I think this blouse is one of my best thrifted bargains, i bought it in the summer and remember being unsure if i liked leopard print (i have no idea what i was thinking!!). It was fifty percent and only two dollars so i couldn't resist getting it, thank goodness :). I have been having some good luck thrift shopping lately, i have a few new things that i can't wait to show you including a leather vest and a jean jacket. Have a wonderful afternoon everyone!!

From The Rooftops I Remember There Was Snow
Dress: H&M $15, Blazer: Value Village: $8, Belt: Thrift $2, Stockings Ardenes $3, Boots: Spring $41
I would like to introduce everyone to my absolute favourite thrifted blazer. I had been searching for the perfect one with gold buttons and found this baby back in January. There is a kindof funny story about why i have never worn it. A few days after i bought the blazer i popped one front buttons much to my alarm. I always misplace things so i set it aside in a special drawer until i finally got around it sewing it back on. Well one day i got out the button, thread,needle and then set them on my bed so i could start. I can't remember why i had to leave but once i came back my thread and needle where right where i left them but the bloody button was absolutely no where to be found, i searched and searched but it was completely m.i.a. So finally after two months of not wearing the blazer i decided to bite the bullet and cut off the buttons on the pockets, sew them up and use one on the front. After finishing that and taking my outfit photos i was rummaging through my drawers to find something when i found an old winter hat and when i picked it up, out fell the infamous button. I have no idea how it got there but i am quite happy to finally have found it and already reattached the other two to the pockets!! I wore this outfit on Tuesday to the movies but just edited these photos today. I just got photoshop and am completely in love with it, not going to lie it is SO hard to stop playing around with the different settings. I hope everyone is having a lovely week!

Hey Goodlooking Why The Frown?
Blazer: Wearhouse One $30, tshirt: Bluenotes $7, Shorts: Thrift DIY $4, Stockings: Ardenes $3, Boots: Aldo $52, Jewellery: Ardenes
Wahoo today was the first day i have been able to get out to take photos since my last post it has been raining or snowing non stop (ugh). I actually wore this outfit on Wednesday to a Joel Plaskett concert with my sister which was really good!!! I love when bands sound better live then on their cd. I have become seriously obsessed with high waisted denim shorts after seeing so many bloggers looking awesome in theirs, so i decided to get out my pair i thrifted and cutoff last year. These are definitely going to be a new staple in my wardrobe from now on!! The lovely Hannah of The Fashion Genie asked me to do a interview a little while ago which was beyond exciting since it was the first time that has happend to me!!! Everyone go check out her blog and you can read the interview here. I am so sorry but i am terribly behind at replying to comments and reading blog updates, i have had alot of school work lately so everything just seems to piling up but i promise i will catch up eventually :). I hope everyone had a lovely day!
