OOTD - RED WHITE AND BLUE

I tend to wear a lot of red, navy and white in the spring/summer.  I just love them - alone or in any combination.  Today I'm wearing all three to showcase my newest Etta pump from J.Crew (this is my 5th pair - sheesh), which I adore! 



It's a J.Crew bonanza!!

OOTD - INSPIRED BY KERMIT

Okay, well I wasn't really inspired by Kermit, but that sure is a lot more green than I'm used to.  But I just absolutely refuse to let this crappy spring weather get me down and continue to push black to the back of my mind :-)


*Please excuse the most horrid expression on my face - I'm just not photogenic today ;-P

OOTD - SHINY

Wow, the last few weeks have been crazy busy and I just have not had the time to post.  Which is too bad, because I've missed sharing some real outfit winners (in my opinion).  Oh well...

I'm very happy with today's look and LOVE the shoes.  What say you?

OOTD - SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Well, kind of.  The weather in Calgary has been beautiful of late, but we are supposed to get a combination of snow / rain for the next few days, which is actually a pretty typical spring here, so I'm not complaining.  Instead, I decided to wear spring today.  I cannot even say how much I love this outfit.  At first I was afraid that it was too much, but the longer I wore it today, the happier I was in it.  And the many compliments I got on it didn't hurt either :-)

OOTD - UNINSPIRED AND BORED

I had no motivation to get out of bed today, let alone put any thought into my outfit.  So I went with basic and boring (although still put together).  At least my hair looks good today :-)

OOTD - RAY OF SUNSHINE

I really, really love this outfit today (never mind the wrinkles  on the skirt - OMG!!!).  The bright yellow blouse is just exactly what I needed today to brighten my mood (and apparently quite a few people at work - it's been quite the discussion piece so far!).  And I must say, I like the way the yellow looks against the camel skirt - a very nice combination (IMO). 

Now the hair - it would seem from my last few posts that I always have my hair in a bun, but I swear - I don't.  I have just been having a really hard time getting out of bed in the mornings and so am taking as many time saving tactics as possible.  Hopefully as the mornings get brighter, I will be back to hopping out of bed at 5:30 :-)

OOTD - SPRING FLOWERS

We got a late blast of winter this week, with about 30-35 centimeters falling over the week and I am desperate for it to end.  I really, really am done with boots and coats and tights and gloves and...well, you get the idea.  So I busted out this beautiful Liberty print today.  I am not normally much of a floral-print gal, but was really drawn to this one - the colours are just gorgeous!!
