Paisley Pattern Mixing

This outfit makes me proud. It is a demonstration of my mad pattern-mixing skills! Or at least, an attempt at such. Personally, I think these prints are made for each other, and I've worn this outfit several times over since these photos were taken back in late August (I am so behind, oh boy). Plus I'm wearing a dress as a top again. I feel so ingenious and stylish all at once haha...

 

Dress (as top) - Purchased from Sally Jane Vintage on Etsy

Skirt - Thrifted from Value Village

Shoes - Thrifted from the Salvation Army

I was browsing Etsy the other day when I spotted a skirt that looked suspiciously familiar. Then I realized... it was exactly like my skirt, except in a slightly different colour palette. So, for those who happen to dig this skirt and want their own... check this one out. It's a small clothes-world after all?

 

I had a lovely weekend. I went out dancing at a local psytrance event on Friday which was nice, and bumped into a few unexpected friends while there. Saturday was filled with some very successful thrifting and then Sunday afternoon I spent some time taking outfit photos in a park and reading in the sun by the lake. The weather can't seem to make up its mind, but if it can send me more weekends like this one, I'd be a happy camper.

 

I paid maybe $2 for these earrings a few years ago. They're pretty basic, just little seed beads and wire-wrapped sharks teeth, but I like how unusual they are. The only annoyance is they're always getting caught in my hair! 

I was about to express how I can't believe it's nearly mid-September, but I'm just going to admit that time has been flying by lately. I'm not complaining, because the quicker my work-week is over, the happier I am, but it'd be nice if my spare time lasted longer. I'm not particularly fond of the feeling of time zipping by though, it gives me the all-too-serious impression that I'll wake up one morning, 30 years older, with no idea where the time went.

I've been a bit lax with posting lately, but I have a ton of stuff lined up so expect daily posts this week. I hope you all had a good weekend, and that your Monday is going well. Cheers!

Gypsy Queen

This was one of the outfits I brought with me to wear while I was in Alberta. When my boyfriend's dad saw me, he said I dressed like a gypsy. I have to agree, and I took it as a compliment. It feels like ages ago when I took these photos back on August 14th. I love this outfit so much, I'd live in it if I could (I wore it 3 times in two weeks while in Alberta hah).

Vintage Blouse - Purchased from Jewels4pandas on Etsy

Skirt - Thrifted from the Salvation Army

Sandals - Thrifted from Value Village

It's just one of those outfits that feels very "me" and in which I feel comfortable. Plus I just love how it all moves and flows as I walk around. I really love outfits with flow and flounce.

I've been having such an odd absent-minded week. I've been spending a lot of time oggling shoes and tasty dessert recipes in lieu of reading blogs, so I'm rather behind. So food-filled have been my eyes, it took me 3 days to get around to writing this post, and I've actually been excited about sharing this outfit. I'm glad tomorrow is Friday, that's for certain.

Right now I just want the day to be over so I can go home and play more Sims 3. I've gotten myself addicted again and I have way too much fun getting my Stylist Sim to run around giving people wardrobe makeovers heh. Even my random geekery manages to fit clothes into things.

If you're in the mood for tasty things like I am, check out my Food Pinboard on Pinterest and drool admire with me. By the way, if any of you would like an invite... I have a bunch, so feel free to ask. Just leave your e-mail in a comment and I'll send one your way :) Cheers!
