I wore this for a dinner date with my husband after I came home from a 4-day trip to Ottawa. I rarely travel these days, so that was a big deal.

Coming back was hard … mostly because I stayed up way past my bedtime on my last night in Ottawa (and it was totally worth it!), and I had to get up at 4am to catch my flight home. Considering that Ottawa is 2 hours ahead of Edmonton … well, you can probably imagine what I was feeling like by the time these photos were taken, 15 hours later. I was wearing … clothes … I think.

But no matter how much my bed beckoned, there was a date night to be had, and a steak dinner to be enjoyed so – onwards!

  1. You look so cute!

    and man you were in my city! I would have loved to meet you 🙂 maybe next time…

    I travel for work 3-4 times a year and always international trips (Europe). I hate jet lag with passion.

    • Definitely! I’m hoping to come to Ottawa again next year for the same conference. I’m jealous that you get to travel to Europe for work – jet lag or no jet lag!
