The Talize Update

I kicked ass and took names again at Talize last night for the big 50% off sale. I thought it would be super picked over but I guess not everyone is looking for silk workout wear. That's right, the jacket above is silk and brand new. How lux is that? Sweat once and the jacket is ruined. I know the jacket is brand new because there are no wear marks at all. It's pale yellow and made of the softest silk so I have to choose my times wisely to wear it. I give it three wears before it's stained beyond hope, oh well, what a lovely three wears it'll be.

And I also got this lovely crochet vest, I love how it is longer in the front. And I got, and I got... I could go on, I was a glutton but it all only came to $37! No one shops like this dutch kid...

While I was trying the stuff on for a friend, we kept talking about how 'this would look great with denim shorts.' So now the search for the perfect shorts... It's handy to shorten faithful but worn jeans but you have to make sure the leg isn't too tight. It's bad enough having muffin tops above your shorts but it sucks when you sit down and you get muffin tops on your legs too. It's like a Tim Hortons bakery around here.

It's Not Me, It's You

Sweater? Billabong, Winners

Skirt? H&M

Boots? Zara, so old, they look like elf shoes

Belt? Garage sale

Cuff? My mama's

Hoops? No clue

This outfit isn't really my usual style. But that's the fun of fashion, everyday is a chance to be different. I do think I'll wear this skirt a ton in the summer with a hanes tank and braided sandals (the sandals I don't have yet but I will get them once the shopping moratorium is lifted in April).
Despite the very conservative length and cut of this skirt it caused a bit of embarrassment this morning. It's so full that when I sit down it catches air and bunches up... high. I think I showed the people behind me a little more then leg this morning. What can I say? I walk the line.

Sales Alert

For those who live in the area... a little sales bulletin. Talize (http://www.talize.com/) on Upper James in the H dot, has 50% off EVERYTHING this up coming Monday, March 30. I went last week and I found ridiculous amounts of nice stuff. My arms were burning from carrying so many things. I spent $38 and I got a workbag, a purse, a knit shirt, a silk shirt, a dress and brand new shoes. If I had waited til this Monday I could have spent only $19... But I didn't want to risk it and on that day patience was not my virtue.

I found so much good stuff that I put a navy, leather, quilted Holt Renfrew purse back....Only because I found an even better brown, suede, quilted Holt Renfrew purse with awesome, heavy hardware instead. Yeah me! Well, happy shopping!

Oh ya! And the bright nails are for Earth Hour... I glow in the dark.

hmmm... a bit of a weird tinge on pic

Um yeah... the knees of my jeans do kinda look like they have been attacked my a dog. In my defense, I fell. I bought these jeans to be my new pair of favourite jeans, you know the pair you wear to death... Too bad for me, a week after I bought them I fell face first down a hill. True story. And it's a long fall from my height. The rip was huge and obvious, so I used a cheese shredder to blend in the accident. It works. Though I think when the sun comes out to play, these may become the perfect pair of cuffed shorts.
