Yes, I have run out of even remotely interesting post titles. After 1,500+ blog posts, it’s bound to happen. If I was still keeping track of such things, I’d be celebrating BCRL’s 6th “birthday” right about now, but I’ve basically given up on the whole blogging thing except for the posting part, which is the habit that won’t die. If only I could be so diligent about other things, like taking my multi-vitamins and eating fiber. Oh, right. This is a blog about clothes. I wore some!

In fact, I wore a bunch of cute things … like this Milly x BR collab dress, which I scored at my last clothing swap. And my Liberty print blazer, which is a wee bit loose and boxy now but too cute to give up (you’ll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands). And, of course, my Sofia bag, which doesn’t get nearly enough love. I’m still looking to source of cross-body strap for it, which should make it a big more practical. I added gold shoes because (a) I still haven’t found a navy pair, and (b) my red shoes are a different shade than the bag. For some reason, wearing clashing shades of the same colour is a hang-up of mine. Don’t tell me, I’m probably hideously behind the times & trends on that. Old habits die hard.

How cute is this skirt, amirite? Still loving its whimsical vibe, and still determined to wear it to the office. I added a nice bright sweater, but kept accessories simple to keep this from going down the twee slide. I also added a wool cape because the temps nose-dived again. After three days of +20C weather, going back to the low teens (for a high, and much colder in the mornings), seemed like a particularly cruel joke on Mother Nature’s part.

But … onwards and upwards. (Hint, hint, Mother Nature.) I felt extra kicky all day with my hip flounce (ruffle?), though that may have also had something to do with the fact I wore this outfit on the Thursday before my Vancouver weekend getaway. Happy day, happy outfit — weather be damned.

Zara yesterday, Zara today. Just like my blazer, this piece came to me pre-loved — in this case, from the thrift store. It’s definitely a bold statement … maybe TOO bold for the office, but I decided to wear it anyway. On a quiet, no-meetings-sitting-at-my-desk-all-day Tuesday. Safe, right?

In any case, people seem to love this dress, and I always get positive comments on it. Seeing as it’s an eyeful on its own, I kept everything else pretty simple. To break up all the brown (rust? copper?), I added cobalt blue accessories — I guess I’ll never get tired of the “pop of colour” approach to accessorizing. Everything is matchy matchy, just as I like it. Yeah, baby.
