Bare Face

I haven't been bothering to wear any makeup these last few days. It began with my just being too stressed and busy due to some irritating tax related issues, and then I just didn't care anymore. I don't really like how I look without it - basically sickly pale, exhausted and spotty - but eh.

I've been wearing a lot of my old office-era shoes around the apartment. I have nowhere else to wear them so I may as well enjoy them a little bit! Cheers...

Costumed

I only wore part of this out of the house. The necklace is sadly much too fragile to risk wearing out again - the petals break off way too easily and people always rush in for a hug and CRUNCH. I cannot keep gluing it back together!

The shoes are totally wearable outside, just not this time of year. Still much too wet and squishy outside! Not to mention I haven't decided whether or not I'm willing to attempt driving in these, and I'm way too lazy to switch shoes when climbing in and out of my vehicle just for the sake of being able to wear pretty shoes.

Finally it's warm enough to start wearing shorter hems with bare legs. I wouldn't go spending an afternoon outside like this but at least it's not uncomfortable. A few more weeks and temps will hopefully be in the 20's and I won't have to avoid the outdoors anymore! Cheers...

Tent Dress

I don't know if I can really call this a tent dress but that's what it feels like. Oddly I think I prefer wearing it like this than having it belted. It's super comfy too, I have a feeling I'll be wearing this a lot this summer.

 

We're having another Easter supper at my grandmother's today, and these colours just feel very easter-y to me. The little white shoes are new ones from Ardene's too, bought at the same time as the floral ones from yesterday. It's nice being able to wear something other than winter boots again. Cheers!

Happy Easter

I'm going to Easter supper at my aunt and uncle's today and I donned this colourful outfit to help celebrate when it's still gloomy and brown outside. Even though a lot of the snow has melted, it just leaves sad dead grass and naked trees everywhere, so colour thrown into things is always nice.

I picked up the cute floral shoes at Ardene's for a song, I couldn't resist them. They're soft and comfy and snuggle my feet. I've been waiting weeks for the weather to get to a point where I can wear them and Easter is a perfect time to break them out. Cheers!

Happy Dress

What seems like ages ago, the wonderful Anne sent me this dress in part of a package. It was originally sewn to have a halter strap but I undid the thread and resewed it to have two straps.

 

It's not fitted or polished or in a modern style. It's definitely not flattering haha, especially without the belt in which case it just looks like a psychedelic muumuu. But I still love it! This is how it looked before I altered it.

It was too long and weird things were going on around the halter. Now I have minimal capped sleeves! And the back is high enough to hide my bra, which is great. I may wind up making a few more alterations to it as I go along but for now I'm rocking it like this.

 

I'll probably look back on this stage in my life and wonder what the heck I was doing haha, but I'm happy right now and that's what counts. What's the point of being young and free if you don't push the boundaries and have some fun? Cheers!
