I’m going on my second week of not picking out my clothes on a Sunday night, to get it ready for the work week. Gasp. I know.
All last week I found myself wearing a lot of brown.
This week, I was thinking of outfits in my head the night before the work day. On Wednesday I thought it was so going to work. I loved the idea. Boots, tights, and a skirt. But I don’t think it worked out in my favor. I think the boots just don’t suit Wednesdays look. I need to think of an idea as to how I can wear these amazing target boots, with knee high socks, a skirt and make it look good with what I have in my closet. This will be a project for me ;)
Well at least I’m shopping my closet and saving myself money. Saving for a house and getting a brand new home (with mortgage life insurance) is a better decision right now than spending it frivolously on clothes. So, some days my outfits won’t go together! Lol
Grey is one of my favorite colors for sweaters. But I also find it difficult to pair up with clothing. For example, I clearly found my favorite “go to” look in the second row with the ruffly white top, dress pants and J Crew cardigan. Once I like something, I stick to it! Ha. I also like the look of belting the longer cardigans. Which way would you style your grey cardigan? Any suggestions? Perhaps more color needs to be brought out.
Come back each Tuesday to see a different How I Style post. Or, view past posts below!
My work’s Christmas Party was on Saturday night and unfortunately Scott was in Ottawa this entire weekend so he couldn’t go with me.
I ended up picking up two of my co-workers (who both read my blog. Hello!!) and had an awesome time regardless of if my Boyfriend came with me or not.Â
I was initially going to wear an all black outfit and have my H&M skirt be the standing-out piece. But for some reason I ended up going with the brick red tank from Cassis that I picked up in October. It was laying in the clean laundry pile and it was next to my skirt, so I paired it together and it ended up going really well.
This was my final look that I ended up wearing to the Christmas Party. I think it worked out very well! It was way too cold to wear bare legs, plus I thought the tights made it more festive looking.
I filmed a YouTube video last night while I was was getting ready, and this is the photo that I took immediately after.
Closeup of my eyeshadow! :)
It’s incredibly long at 13 minutes, even though I made a time-lapse video and included some royalty free music. But if you care to watch, it’s there for your viewing!
I had so much fun. There was karaoke. Julie and I had to get the party started by singing the first song with our other co-worker. I also tore up the dance floor doing the Newfie Jig with a few newf’s who attended the party as well. The Night That Patty Murphy Died, Home For A Rest and Heave Away were just a few songs that I jigged to. Man, best songs ever. Remind me so much of home.
Now, for some photos of the night. Fun right!? Don’t worry! I asked everyone for their permission to be on my blog :)
You may remember Julie as she’s featured here on my website quite often.
Amy and I!
Laura and I. Kinda blurry. Not everyone is the best photographer around ;)
So that’s it! Hope you enjoyed that YouTube video I put together. It wasn’t all that hard actually. So I may end up doing a how-to video on how to make a time lapse like that, in case anyone is interested.
