What I Wore :: Primary Colours

:: head to toe ::
scarf :: thrifted
glasses :: Clearly Contacts (or Coastal for my US friends)
dress :: thrifted
necklace :: store in Quebec
shoes :: c/o Blowfish

Hi there everyone! I hope you all had a good weekend. Ivan and I made our way up to Peterborough to visit Chantilly & family and attend the Donny Brook where we scored some pretty sweet goodies and watched naked mannequins being auctioned off for $140. Ok, just one naked mannequin. 

Anyways, I'm back and I'm wearing something colourful. Actually I wore this last week but you know what I mean. This is one of my favourite dresses and usually I throw a belt on it but for some reason I decided to go totally crazy and skip the belt. I know, I'm nuts! 

I'm also nuts because I painted my nails to match my outfit again. Actually, I don't really think that makes me nuts, I think it makes me a really fancy person with too much time on their hands. I'm ok with either really.

Today I will be playing some major catch up with video editing, blog stuff, housework, decorating, emails...pretty much anything you can think of. I don't mind though. I am way more productive on days when I feel like I won't finish my to-do list!

  5. ha - I'd say your Ms.Fancy pants for sure, and such a great way to learn the colour wheel! ;o)
    Sounds like too much fun with Chantilly, did you watch Madagascar too?! Sorry to miss you while you hit up the big p.dot.
    (P.S.. only if you're interested: I'm throwing my handmade jewellery giveaway on the blog!).

  13. I had the most random dream last night where I was back in high school and you were the substitute teacher for my geography class (I never took geography... but that's ok, I don't think you're a high school teacher either). Then I disrupted the class yelling to everyone that someone stole my phone and wallet, except it was actually in the wrong purse. And you were pissed that I interrupted.
    Anyway now that I'm done with my cool story (bro), I totally love those glasses on you, you seriously rock them!

    1. Hahaha! Oh man, I would have been a really bad Geography teacher. You would have left thinking that Chicago was a state (totally accidentally wrote that in a previous post). That's so funny!

  29. I complained about nail polish being something I don't understand last week, but this makes sense. The outfit, the nails. It's a good look. I would never take the time to paint mine as perfectly as you have, but I respect your dedication. ;)

    The dress is fantastic!
