That's a Spicy Meatball!!

I call bullshit on the fashion industry 90% of the time but I do looooove Missoni.

I would love to be able to say that this sweater was real vintage missoni that I found in some great little boutique somewhere for $20.

It is not. I got it at Urban Behaviour which is the Canadian equivalent of Forever 21 I think. I have had it for almost 5 years and it never looks dated because it is a copy of a freakin VINTAGE MISSONI! Brilliant. Even though is is venturing into dress over pants territory, I decided that I had to wear it with these bell bottomed jeans to complete the 1970's bohemian rich Italian heiress vibe that I had going on (in my head!)







I really like this outfit. What do you think? Is it sufficiently stylish?

Make it work Mondays!

Oh.My.God. I did NOT want to get out of bed this morning. I had a strange weekend. I was tired the whole time and nothing I put on looked right at all which threw off my whole mood. Whatever.

I thought it would be a worthwhile experiment to try to push myself on Monday mornings in order to coax my lazy ass to get out of bed. I'm calling it "Make it work Mondays" because I like alliteration and because every Monday I'm going to wear something that I probably wouldn't normally wear.

This Monday is a HUGE risk: DRESS OVER PANTS.





Pretty scary. What can I say? I like to live on the edge. Needless to say, I am generally quite opposed to a dress over jeans. It really is a look best left to 1992 while watching my so called life and reading Sassy magazine.It's a strange silhouette.






I love this dress that I am wearing today but it is quite short and fitted. I am not Erin Brockovich so I feel a bit weird wearing it to work. I figured if I was going to try to rock a dress over pants it had better be a niceshort and form fitting dress to try to balance out the proportions a bit. This works I think. Although all I can think about it how cute this would look with black tights(not leggings-ack) and knee high black suede boots. I kept everything else simple so as not to appear crazy. As a special bonus make it work I threw on these earrings that I haven't been able to make work since I bought them months ago. It's a bit matchy matchy with the grey earring and the dress but still....IT WORKS.
