It's Wednesday! And Vision shirt day!

Ah it's Wednesdays fashion post!  Okay so you may have noticed Tuesday is missing...or not.  But I was off on Tuesday (I demanded a long weekend!) so I didn't bother taking a picture.  Things were not looking awesome!  But today it was a bright and sunny day so I decided heck with pants!  Heck with them!!  Here be the Wednesday October 12th outfit!

Okay so I had gotten comments on my last dress of things like "Finally no pants!" so I decided to dig out the skirts!  So looking at this now, it's probably a little short for work.  I usually wear tights underneath it so it doesn't ride up, but it was riding up today!  But thanks to some help from Gill at work, it kept getting tugged down...where it needed to be!  Seriously, there was a time where my hands were full and she tugged it down. 

Here's a little closer detail of the belt/skirt.  It's super comfy stretchy.  And yes...black and grey.  Which seems to be my colours of choice.  Yes, I'm terrified of colour.

Okay so imagine this isn't in a mirror.  These tee-shirts are the tee shirts my dad's band had back in the 80's!  VISION is the band and it's like blasting out of an eyeball.  The tee shirts are super comfy and totally cute!  We had these black and white ones made up and we have white with black (the original colours) as well.  We made them for a concert that my dads band got back together for (after 24 years) and played at the Element.  It totally sold out!  We have them in men's version too and they are either white with black, or heather grey with black.  Me and my husband loves these shirts and have a gazillion each.  They are super nice fitting!  Anyone want one?  They could be yours for only $10 each!  I think we have some of every size left over....as well as a light grey kids size ones.  We had all of our middle sons soccer team wearing them last year!  Let me know!  We'll ship!

So what do you think?  What colour would you like to see me attempt?  And are short skirts okay for the workplace?

THANKSKISSING! It's a KISS inspired holiday!

Special edition outfit!  THANKSKISSING!  So this year for Thanksgiving we decided to have a theme...and that theme was KISS!  So this is my Thankskissing Day outfit!

Okay so we got Catman face paint, black bodysuit, black leather skirt, chain necklace and crazy tall Aldo booties!  Meow!

These boots seriously ad like 5" to my hight and I love them!

What do you think?  Would you have a theme traditional dinner?  Try KISS inspired!  Amazingly fun!!  OH and everyone else dressed up too...it wasn't just me!



Spray tan! Oh and warning..I flash side bum.

SO OH MY GOD I GOT A SPRAY TAN!!!!!  Super crazy awesomely bronzed!  Basically there are 3 "levels" of solution and I got the one in the middle.  I was going to do less, because I am so pale normally and never have had a tan but in the end I thought HECK WITH IT and just did it!  So today my outfit was harder to pick.  Mostly because I wanted to spend the day lounging around in white underwear and nothing else, just getting my tan on kinda thing.  Also because things look different on when you have a tan, or any colour at all!  So I decided I needed to wear something white to really show everything off!

So this knit dress is basically all I have in white.  I bought it on a whim this summer, and then with it being knit it wound up being pretty warm for the summer.  The only other time I wore it I had black tights and a black belt and a longer black sweater.  And NO, I do NOT have nylons on!  Those are just my gloriously tanned legs!!!  I'm soooo excited!

I mean...just look at them!  This is what normal people legs look like!  Okay and WARNING....I'm gonna flash a little side bum.  I just want to show the tan line.  So what you are seeing are NOT my white underwear....that's just me....before spray tan.



Where oh where did my bum go??  It used to be nice...honest.  Now it's all flat and missing.  Boo!  Okay so for jewellery.....

Big necklace!  Earrings are simple...just clear beads on a very light chain....thanks to my Internet in Robson I can't load an entire pic and they keep getting cut off....but you get the idea!!  I went to my husbands work after I finished work for the day and he exclaimed that I looked like a trophy wife!  Haha!

So what do you think about spray tans?  A big shout out to Daina who does them!  Her facebook group can be found here http://www.facebook.com/BodyBronzeSprayTanning?ref=ts and she does mobile tanning as well as tanning from her studio in Trail, BC.

Friday Oct 7th

Exciting day today!!  We're getting spray tans after work!  I've never had one....and I'm REALLY white and pasty!  Like....creepy white.  So tomorrows blog posting will be full of pictures of me being all glorious and bronze!  But for today, I leave you with these.....Friday Oct 7th/2011.

Black leggings, black dress, black belt and PURPLE boots!  There, see?  I can do colour!!

Now these boots were the CHEAPEST boots at Zellers.  They actually are pretty comfy and are pretty cute.

The back detail of the dress.  Don't look at my bad hair...it was still wet and flat!

Jewellery I kept simple....simple silver hoops and a silver chain necklace tucked in.

Would you wear purple boots?

Thursday Oct 6, 2011

So all day today....and I mean ALL day today, I would have bet money that it was Friday.  But it wasn't.  Not even a little bit.  It was sadly only Thursday.  Today I decided I needed to break away from my legging addiction and wear some good ol'fashioned denim! 

So these are my favorite jeans.  And no, they are no jeggings.....have zero stretch at all even!  I recently started running and my thighs beefed up a bit so they are a bit tight to wear now in the legs, which is good I guess that I have muscles!  The jeans are Mavi.  Again.....my favorite boots, my Browns!

So I LOVE dressing up a plaid shirt with fancy jewellery!  These are my favorite glitzy earrings and I got them from Stella&Dot!  The shirt is a cheap-o WalMart find and all the buttons fell off in the wash so I have to use safety pins to hold it all together!  Sometimes I'll wear it open over a tank, and sometimes I'll just tie it at the waist.  I get lots of compliments on this stupid shirt!  My husband claims to like it cause I'm hate country music so this is as close to Shania Twain as he's going to get.  Isn't he romantic??

Earrings for me are easy....the bigger, the better!!

Should flannel be dressed up?  And what do your favorite jeans look like?

Wednesday Oct 5th

So Tuesday this week Gill and I go thrift shopping....which is one of our FAVORITE past times!  As soon as we walk in, Gill has found something for me!  She hands them to me with a "you're welcome" and it's a super awesome find!!  So of course, today, I had to wear the item!  So today I have on a long black tank, a flowey bat-wing type black knit top, animal print leggings, wedge heel mary janes and a long strand of pearls.  Which came from the thrift store?

PS - I totally loved this outfit!  A new fav FOR SURE!



So which is the thrift store find?  And what do you think about this outfit?

Tuesday Oct 4th

So I didn't take pics of me on Sunday or Monday...my days off.  I figured nobody needs to see what I wear on my days off.  It is pretty attractive mind you......Barry's old shirts, pants, long sleeve button up flannel and sometimes even his boxers and socks.  Imagine a homeless person, but like, a fairly new homeless person so really the clothes are mostly ill fitting and faded, ripped and a little stained.  Not like urine stained or growing mold or anything.  That's pretty much what I look like on my days off.  Honest.  Pop over on a Sunday morning and see for yourself!!  So here's Tuesday!  Now, let me set up the day for you.  It was COLD.  Like, wet and rainy and the kind of day where you don't want to get up or wake up or leave the house.  It was a really slow day at work and half my day was going to be spend getting my own hair done.  So I didn't really dress up much.  Comfort was top of the list!!  Nicole at work made fun of my sweatshirt but it's okay.  She probably was secretly envious that she wasn't wearing a super awesome baggy sweatshirt with pockets.  Maybe she can borrow mine.

Okay so it is pretty sloppy.  I didn't think it looked so sloppy in real life.  You can't see from this pic but I'm wearing a very long stretch tank under which covers my butt and comes mid thigh so it looks like a tight tube skirt under the baggy sweatshirt and over the leggings.  And the socks...

.....a little wicked witch of the west as my Mom likes to say.  I figured it sort of "dressed" up that dreary rainy day!  And of course my boots.  Favorite things ever.  Browns and a quite a few years old but I get complements on them still!  Best $(enter ridiculously high number here) I ever spent!! 

So what do you think?  Sweatshirts at work?  Too sloppy?
