hanging out.

top (Winners); black capris (Reitmans); bead necklace (Jacob)

Nothing too exciting here.

I spied these capris hanging in my closet and then my eyesight fell on the purple top. A match was made!

Sorry it's so dark...I think my favourite pose is leaning against the wall. Ha!

Have a great hump day folks!

outdoors.

coat (GAP); long mittens (Jacob); eyeglasses (Gucci)

My b/f is off to Vancouver so I will have to improvise with my photos for the next little while. I do have a camera on my Blackberry and have figured out how to get the pictures from it to the computer - major step!

I'm also thinking of showcasing some photos of me cleaning, re-organizing and re-decorating his condo...love that he is letting me decorate!

This is the coat I wear to work most days - it's roomy enough to wear over my suits and dressy enough to wear to meetings. I love the dark purple colour and the slight elegance the long mittens add to the look....or, so I like to think.

jazz hands.

black dress (Banana Republic); grey sweater (Jacob); grey boots (Aldo); tights (Addition Elle & Shoppers Drug Mart); earrings (Laura); necklace (H&M)

This was definitely out of my comfort zone...though I do realize upon looking at the photos that I should have added a belt to the black dress for definition...

Firstly, I have large calf muscles. Yeah, that's how I'll put it...Ha! So, finding a pair of boots that would fit over them was amazing...truthfully, I wasn't looking that hard because I just figured they didn't exist.

Secondly, I also am not very partial to my legs. Yeah, that's mean of me to say about myself...I'm trying to fix that. So, wearing this dress on its own (I usually wear it over a pair of skinny jeans) is quite the feat for me.

Overall, I felt really cute in this outfit! And, that is what matters most...right?

*hugs*

p.s. I totally borrowed the idea of doubling up my tights to get a darker look like leggings...I attribute this idea to many other blogs I've read in the past...sorry that I can't remember who I got the original idea from. Genius!
