Spot On?

Jacket? Vintage, thrifted (similar here) Jeans? Acne, Winners (here) Boots? c/o Aldo (here) 

Turtleneck? h&m

Originally I wore most of this outfit last Friday night to go out for sushi with Julie and our respective Matts. Though that night I actually had some high waisted, wide leg jeans on instead. The wisdom of wearing high waisted jeans out for all-you-can-eat sushi is up for debate... 

The next day I wore these black skinny jeans and... I'm ok with the look. For some reason I don't love the black turtleneck with the black jeans that much. I think I was hoping for ridiculously chic but the front view felt a little like footless pajamas because the black between the pants and top had no variation. Hence, I didn't include any pictures of the front view... sneaky.
I'm going to bust out the leopard jacket again this weekend, give it another try. It'll be like baseball, I get three strikes for a chance at that home run. Though, if you've read my blog for a very long time, you might remember that one time it actually took me 8 strikes. Here's hoping I can dress better than I can play baseball.

Festive Sparkle

  Jacket? Maison Scotch (similar here, with studs here or with sweater sleeves here) Skirt? c/o eShakti (here) Boots? Aldo Denim shirt? Joe Fresh, thrifted (similar here) Beaded purse and necklace? Thrifted

Due to the constant stream of holiday decorations rolling by on my Instagram feed, I decided to start decorating for the holidays in a timely manner. In a rare moment of pre-planning, I had actually put all the Christmas decorations in one, labelled Tupperware container in the attic last year. Matt, however, in a moment of non-planning, had put that Tupperware container in the very back corner of the attic when he decided to organize. The good news is that I got the Tupperware out. The bad news is that the attic is a mess again. 

Regardless, things are coming along nicely, decoration wise. Putting out all the festive junk made me realize I dress like I decorate. I put a bunch of random crap together and then add a good amount of sparkle. I'm consistent like that. 

Thank You!

Happy Day! The entry Julie and I put into the WWYCT contest for Ottawa Street won first place! Which means, that thanks to your votes, $1000 get donated to the Hamilton chapter of the Alzheimer's Society! And that's a lot of exclamation marks because we are really excited!
Seriously, we can not thank you enough for the votes, the tweets and the Facebook shout outs... I'm tickled pink that you took the time for us. And obviously, because thank-you is not enough, here is an awkward GIF of Julie and I jumping. We tried to get a picture of us in the air at the same time and that didn't happen. Synchro jumping is difficult stuff, you guys...

Serendipity

Jacket? Via Consignment Blouse? Thrifted Jeans? Gap 
Shoes? Naughty Monkey, thrifted (just found these with a toe plate too!) Clutch? Thrifted

Necklace? Clyde's Rebirth (top one) and thrifted

I'm quite pleased with how the colours in this outfit came out. The deep purple jeans, with the turquoise shirt and the rust jacket all came together nicely in a very autumn appropriate outfit. Even more appropriate when I realized the outfit matched the vine creeping up the building. 

When the background of my outfit pictures serendipitously matches my outfit, I take it as a sign of my destiny to fashion blog. Or... it's just a random fall vine that happen to match my jacket. Yup, it's probably just that.
