The Deep End

Do you ever have one of those days where you just feel content? 
Let me tell you, this day could've gone mighty sour... too little sleep from the late night before, messy hair and a five hour roadtrip should've made me cranky. Very cranky. 
But you know what, coffee is a saviour, braids and dry shampoo work wonders and BC is so jaw-droppingly gorgeous that it's hard to not get excited while driving through it. 
So my five hour trip to the Okanagan, to hang with my pops, was a success. The outfit photos I had my dad take on the other hand were not. Poor guy, he really needed a son! 
Instead I snapped these photos with a make-shift tripod under the curious eye of the other hotel residents.
 Awkward and awesome! 
Black Cami- H&M, Blue Skirt- Vintage, Brown Belt- Thrifted, Gold Flip-Flops and Cat Eye Sunglasses- Aldo, Various Arm Parties- H&M, Le Chateau and DIY
Plus, I discovered that long skirts are the. best. things to wear for a long car trip. 
Trust me. 
And this discovery probably impacted the content feeling, in a pretty major way!

Welcome Home, Son



This is yesterday's outfit, perfect for the balmy weather we've been having! I wasn't supposed to wear this slip as a skirt, but seriously, who has time to throw on real clothes when it's gorgeous outside?! I can't seem to decide what season this hat is though... the style makes me think S/S but the felt material feels a bit too F/W?? It's not that I object to wearing things out of season, generally I just wear what I like and throw caution to the wind (haha melodramatic, non?) but it makes me wonder every time I bring this dude out of the closet. 

Anyways, today I've been ever so stylish (sarcasm...) wearing my gorgeous painting clothes! BUT I finally covered the hole in my kitchen wall and have repainted some hideous green trim in my office. Yes, you read correctly... green trim. It was pure hideousness. Thankfully, it's now all covered. I swear, falling in love with the "feeling" of an old house will be the death of both me and my wallet! 



Tank: Zara
Slip: Thrifted
Shoes: Pierre Hardy for Gap
Hat: American Apparel
Belt: just some old ribbon...
Leaf Necklace: Gift


Lovely Thing: Discovering that you can put together an outfit for a total of $10 (hat excluded... darn!) that is decent enough to wear in public, even if half of it is "undergarments"! :)
