Firsts...

A lot of firsts for me happened in this outfit. First attempt at pattern mixing (I started small). First time tucking my shirt in. AND First post without glasses. Personally I think I look a little evil without my glasses...like I'm plotting something. So I cheated and put on sunglasses instead. I also couldn't deny my shoes from the last post anymore and took them out for a little jaunt. I can't take credit for this outfit, it was totally inspired by Estefany from Helmet Head and I stole this look (sorry Estefany!). Two more things: I think I am totally too cool for school in the below pic and I included that last picture because as it was snowing I caught the most perfect, cutest little snowflake mid-fall! 

Mondays are like my fridays so for me the week is almost over! Come on Tuesday!!

hat / cardigan / purse / shorts / shoes - thrifted
ribbons - gap (came with some shoes)
shirt - joe fresh
tights - h&m
sunglasses - giveaway from the local newspaper circa 1990's

see that little guy by the bird!

Outfit Shout Out: Late Afternoon

You know when you see an outfit on one of your favourite bloggers and immediately want to wear it but have none of the same pieces? This happens to me all the time. I'm going to try and re-create them with items I have already more often. This outfit is inspired by this post from the so so so stylish Liz at Late Afternoon. Unfortunately I don't own salmon coloured pants,  a furry-collared anorak, or cute boot wedges. I made do with what could find though! There isn't really a "fashion scene" in rural Alberta (unless you count carhartts) so I mostly get all inspiration from you guys!

Since it snowed another 6 inches or so last night, I had nowhere snow-free to take pictures except.....the old outhouse! haha. Who knows when this thing was built. Our house was actually a barn/shop before we renovated it into a house so I'm guessing this was necessity as the bard/shop didn't have a bathroom. Lucky for me we have numerous indoor bathrooms now. I would be very sad if I had to go out there in this weather! Talk about drafty!
