I wore hot pink pants for my first outfit of 2012 today. (Yesterday didn’t count, I wore sweatpants and slept most of the day.)

I’m hoping they set the tone for an exciting and new and different year, full of change and being true to myself.

These clothes are all very old. I think I bought this shirt about 6 years ago? Come to think of it, these tights are also really old, and I think they’re showing it, since they’re pretty faded! Might be time to splurge another $15 and get a new pair.

It’s kind of fun wearing old clothes though, clothes you’ve forgotten about and have to reach into the back of your closet before, because then it feels like Christmas and you’ve just opened an exciting new present.

…okay, maybe it’s not that exciting.

I never would have thought of wearing a dress as a skirt before I started oogling at fashion blogs. This dress is a little on the short side for work, it doesn’t quite clear my finger tips when I do the shortness test, but I figured with tights on underneath, what gives? Especially when some people out there just wear tights and a regular old shirt (don’t do it!). At least I had a one-up on them.

This is my owl shirt. G calls it my hooter shirt. And he loves to say that he loves my hooters when I’m wearing it. I picked it up a couple weeks ago when I was down in Seattle and didn’t bring enough warm clothes!

I wore this outfit today to go to a craft market and then to grocery shop at the farmer’s market. So I guess it’s my marketing outfit! And then I came home and did some business marketing…?! Hehe. The sun actually came out by the time I left the house, so I swapped out the boots for some flats and tied my hair up instead.

My weekend was just lovely. Today was very relaxing, catching up on errands and chores, and feeling cozy inside while it rained and winded. Yesterday G was staying with me, and we pretended to be tourists, visiting Granville Island, doing a brewery tasting, wandering downtown, then settling in at a pub to watch the pre-season hockey game, and ended the evening on my patio with a glass of red wine and chatting in the un-seasonably warm night air.

I hope all your weekends were equally as nice :)

So I’m not sure what it is with Wednesdays and me posting daily styles… Very strange. Probably because by Wednesday I’m in the swing of the week, not quite so overwhelmed, and can think a bit about what I throw on in the morning!

I’m rather obsessed with the song “Two Weeks” by Grizzly Bear, and it’s sort of odd because I’m not usually so into indie music like this (is this even indie? I hate defining musical genres!) but man, I just can’t stop playing it! It brings me back a lot of memories of my last days living in Toronto a year ago, and I don’t know why but that makes me happy.

Life is busybusy at the moment. Well not even at the moment - it has been since I started this new job! I’m currently working at least 9-hour, and sometimes 10-hour days, and it is crazy man. It doesn’t leave a lot of time for a life! And then when I have a few hours, there’s so much relaxing and fun stuff I want to do - relaxing becomes busy too!

But I’m taking off work early this Friday and heading down to Seattle for a little get-away with my family, which will be a nice respite!

Onwards to pie baking! :D

Oh look, it’s a daily style post! Haven’t seen one of these guys in a while…

This is my lovely balcony with the view of a construction site. It’s not so bad actually, I kinda feel like it’s an authentic city view, and they are only ever banging and making a racket when I’m at work. However, once it starts getting a little higher, it will suck - the building is supposed to be the tallest condo building in the area. Great.

I wore this outfit today to work, and also to do a bit of a cameo appearance on the TV show I work for - they couldn’t find an engaged couple to re-enact a wedding consultation, and soo it was suggested that the intern and I act as a cute happy couple-to-be in love. Oh man. Life sometimes!

Jenn and I went out for drinks last week, as we now do every week, to a new-ish wine and tapas bar downtown. (We’ve decided to go out once a week, wear a cute outfit, and have a drink at a new place, or somewhere we’ve never been before - very fun). I spotted this impressive large mirror near the bathrooms, and of course, outfit photos had to be snapped.

Also, the previously posted-about fantastic semi-tipsy idea was borne out of this evening, so watch yoselves.

Unrelated to these photos, I saw Dane Cook live tonight and it. was. wicked. He’s had butt sex with a porn star. No lies.

And you know what else? Life. is. good. :)

And for this Friday at work, it was dress what colour you think the baby is! I was BLUE for BOY! ;)
