One LBD, Two ways!

*sigh* I wore a dress twice this week....AND I wore a skirt.....AND I only wore leggings once.  And how many pictures did I get this week?  Not many.  Somehow work was a gong show and I missed a pic of the second dress and the skirt.  And for that, I'm sorry.  So today I give you.....drumroooolllll......one LBD, two ways!!!  I bought a new LBD at Bia Boro (swooooon I know) for my xmas party this year.  Then new years rolls around and I have nothing to wear and decide to wear the same dress (GASP) twice within a couple weeks of each other!  But I tried to change it up as much as I could.  Now originally I had no intentions of doing a posting like this so the pics I have of both dresses are not amazing, so let's all use our little active imaginations and just stay with me.  So here we have the LBD for my Xmas party.....we did spray tans that week and so I wanted to show off as much of my tannnnnnned skin as possible.

So when I first brought this dress home my mom exclaimed "OH good!  That will go under everything!!" assuming it was a slip. Ha!  Thanks mom!  Here's a close up of the shoes, cause that's the important difference in my two ways to wear this LBD.

Cute right?  They make me real nice and tall!  Well, tall for me....ha!

So then....New Years Eve.  Gill suggests going more rock and roll....so this is what I come up with!  I don't have a full head to toe shot but I have one that's close....

So I added some different jewellery, a leather cuff bracelet, some thigh high black socks, a vintage velvet jacket (used to be my dads when I was a babe!) and my newest obsession ankle boots.

These are what's at the end of those thigh high socks!  As for jewellery, I'm wearing my Stella&Dot mixed chain necklace and earrings....a better pic here...

I'm also in the midst of pouring rye and gingers at 2:30am so I guess it's safe to say a good time was had by all!

Sunday Jan 22 and I actually got dressed!

I usually don't post on the weekends....or at least on days that I don't work.  Mostly because those days involve me wearing pj's all day, or clothes of Barry's.  But today we actually got up and dressed so I thought I'd show you what a Sunday looks like for me!  Usually the theme is comfort!  Today we also went out for a walk in the snow first thing so I needed something I could put layers over and walk through snow banks pushing a baby stroller! 

Brown wrap sweater, my fav floral leggings, socks and leg warmers (I had big boots on too). 

What did your Sunday look like?  

Old and crippled.

I'm injured.  I hurt my back on Sunday and it's thrown off my whole week!!  I didn't go to work for part of the week....and when I did go I was more concerned with wearing clothes I could physically put on and not ones that were nice.  My husband even had to put my socks on for me a few of the days!  So I haven't gotten any exciting new pictures.....so instead, I leave you with these....some of my fashion choices through the years.....enjoy.

Me and my sister (sorry Tiffy).  My mom used to dress us in matching outfits ALL THE TIME.  Sometimes they were different colours...but lots of times they were identical.  And i'm the older one in this pic with the slightly bigger ears.

So THIS is how we do dinner parties at my house.  Themes are welcomed.  This was our "Mexican Easter" and yes, we ate dinner with the mustaches on.  Not the hats obviously, that would be rude the the table.

And I guess me and my sister never got over dressing alike.  There's lots of times where we will show up at the same location, after not having seen or talked to each other first, and we'll be wearing the EXACT SAME THING.  It's creepy actually.  So we were having dinner at my moms and I walked in and hear my sister say "ohhh nooo" and I look over and we are wearing the exact same shirt and a black sweater over top.  Shortly after my mom dissapears and then reappears with her striped shirt on proclaiming "we're triplets!".  Can't be dinner at my families house!

The last dress I bought.  Wore it for Gillians birthday party.  I always love the idea of dresses but have a hard time being comfortable in them.

And for my birthday....a Lady Gaga inspired costume party!  This was my Halloween catwoman costume and I cut the legs/arms off and jazzed it up a bit et voila!  Lady Gaga!! 

So this will have to tide you over for a bit until I get better!!  Today I feel more inspired and will try and put something together for a posting....and there's Saturday night to look forward to too!  We go out for Halloween so I'll have lots to share after that!! 

What do you think of my looks over the years?  And do you find you and your family dressing alike?
