Blue Crush

It’s been a while since I wore this shade of blue, but it remains one of my favourites. I like its muted quality; it’s just a smidge short of pure blue, with some smoke in its veins. I was just about to retire this Nicole Bridger dress when I thrifted a sweater that is its perfect match. I am low key obsessed with those sleeves. This was such a simple outfit, but one of my recent favourites. I am especially tickled by how the shape of the sweater sleeve and the dress subtly mirror each other.

Kismet, Again

You guys knew this was coming. The meeting of two, wholly unrelated, thrift finds that, somehow, were made for each other. Even the fabric feels almost the same. If you didn’t know, you’d probably think this was a dress, no? Mysterious are the ways of the (thrift) universe …

Boldly Graphic

I realized it had been a while since I last wore this awesome Marimekko dress, so I pulled it out and mulled what to wear with it. I could have done something typical – a cardigan, or maybe a soft blazer. But no. A dress this bold deserves a bold partner. Which is how we ended up with this vaguely Illuminati-esque outfit which … now that I’ve made the connection, will never not amuse me. But, hey, don’t go starting any conspiracy theories, okay?

Just Bold

I mean … yeah. Is there anything else to add here? If you hadn’t had your shot of caffeine this morning, your eyes at least just got a nice jolt now. You’re definitely awake, haha! This kind of outfit is my daughter’s favourite and, let’s not pretend, kind is mine too. It’s just such a happy, cheerful one. I’m not necessarily feeling that way these days, so it helps with the pretense. Get yourself a rainbow sweater – I highly recommend it.
