Comfy Casual

This skirt isn't something I would typically buy myslef, but it was gifted to me by a colleague. It is a bit nautical because of the stripes, so it is in a print I like. I decided to wear it with my navy dolman-sleeve t-shirt, my cognac flats and an old necklace that I was able to salvage from the house. I had a little stash of necklaces tucked away in a vanity drawer because I didn't wear often. Ironically, that stash was practically untouched by the smoke. I guess I'll go back to wearing those necklaces for now! This outfit is a perfect in-between season's look because it has the nautical style, with hints of fall colouring. Like I said, this is not a typical look of mine, but I'm seizing the opportunity to try out new things I'm not naturally drawn too. Who knows, I just might discover a new side to my style game!

Travelling Blues

Back in December, I had won a pair of tickets to go see Céline Dion in Montreal. Seeing as my better half is not her biggest fan, I decided to invite my super-fan sister along. We had planned the entire weekend and it was all paid for. I figured there was no reason to miss out and that it would probably do me good, take my mind off of the situation for a little while. I opted for a full blue outfit to travel in. One bonus of being downtown Montreal was the proximity to rue Sainte-Catherine, a well-known shopping destination. Sister in tow, I hit the shops to purchase a bit more clothing and the very basics to rebuild my makeup kit. It felt very normal and fun to spend some quality girl-time with my sister. Shopping skills sure run in the family!
