You can’t miss that sucker! I mean my necklace, of course. It’s huge, and rather loud, and it makes a bold statement and then some. I like it a lot with this plain-verging-on-boring outfit. I’m also a big fan of these thrifted Babaton pants; they’re cropped but slouchy as opposed to fitted/stretchy like the BR Sloans. They seem … a little more polished looking? They definitely make me look, ahem, fuller in the hip area, but I don’t mind it too much.

What I do mind is the peep-toe cutout in these Vince pumps. Ouch! I bought these because they looked cool and were a great deal, forgetting that I hate peep-toe shoes for a reason — they always seem to cut into my toes. These shoes definitely do that, plus the suede is super scuff-prone. I paid less than $30 at Winners for this pair, and I can’t imagine paying a dime more. There’s no way they can live up to regular wear … even if I can bring my toes around to the idea.

I looooooved wearing this Nathalie Lete dress, so get ready: it’s photo overload time. No, I’m serious. Get your scrolling finger ready.

I normally avoid strapless dresses like the plague, because they never fit my bust well, but this one is a rare exception. It fits like a glove! As a bonus, it doesn’t make me look 5 months pregnant in side profile, which also tends to happen with dresses that have a fitted bodice and fuller bottom. I basically love everything about this dress, and it was a perfect choice for a friend visit on a beautiful summer afternoon.

I even busted out my rose hold Giuseppe Zanotti sandals because I get so few occasions to wear them, and this seemed like a good one: they’re definitely lounging-on-a-patio footwear, and not the walk-a-mile-uphill type. Oh, but they’re oh-so-pretty, and pretty memorable for being one of my few Vancouver thrift finds. I do love me a shoe with a story …

Between the colour and the texture, there is something very moss-like about this cardigan — amirite? Strangely, olive green is not a colour I wear a lot even though it’s supposed to flatter redheads. I think it’s because I prefer cooler toned colours, generally. Still, this is a perfectly cozy sweater, so I’m not letting my prejudices colour my view of it (see what I did there?). There are a few things in my closet with which I’m hoping to pair it, but this was too easy an outfit to pass up on a hectic Friday morning.
