pinstripe 70s vibe
The thought of getting dressed in the morning has always motivated me to go to school or work. College is when I began really experimenting with clothing and it was the driving force waking me up from bed at 6 am. I loved school and I love my job now but sometimes I need a little help getting excited to get out of bed and on with my day. Dressing just does that for me.
I wanted to share another work outfit with you. One of my favourite things to do is get dressed for work. Every morning is a fresh slate and I can look completely different from the previous day. These days it feels like anything goes for workwear but I know some workplaces have rules. I work in a hospital in a corporate environment so I try not to show too much skin but I don't hold back my personal style. Some days I'll wear a blouse and pants like below but other days it might be a shift dress and kimono or maxi skirt and beaded top. My colleagues have said: "You just never know what you'll turn around the corner wearing!"
On this very hot and humid day I grabbed an iced green tea with mint.

FEVER
How do you like my Farrah Fawcett hair? I wore this for a disco night (called "Fever" at Babylon) out for my friend's birthday. I wanted to look full on 70s. It started with the hair and then I bought some hoops (the biggest ones they had) and then wore my floral wide leg pants, a black bodysuit and my platform sandals. The pants and purse are recent thrift finds you may recognize from my latest thrift haul video. I had so much fun grooving and boogie-ing down and my outfit allowed for comfort and also kept me cool.
In other news, I'm super excited to see Stars and The Killers in concert tomorrow in Montreal and of course get up to some shopping and dining with Lisa and Rosie. It's supposed to be nice out so I need an outfit that will carry me from day to night that won't bore me to death but will also be comfy and versatile.. BRB going to tear up my closet in search of miracles.. stay tuned.
