Underwhelmed.

I have been feeling not-so-nice for a little while now. It started whith a cold and has now morphed into some weird self-esteem thing. Nothing fits properly. I have this magical fantasy perception of what my body was like before I had my son. In my mind, I had this perfect body with no bulges or bumps that would fit into whatever jeans I wanted. I know that this is my mind playing tricks on me. In reality, my body was pretty much the same as it is now-with a few key differences. The most noticable of which is my BUTT. Shopping isn't as fun because I have these strange expectations and since I will NEVER live up to them, I will continue to get pissed every time I leave the changeroom. Sigh.

Anyway, I'm trying to pick myself up and dust myself off. This week is pretty casual because I am literally the ONLY ONE in my office. Everyone else is sipping eggnog by the freaking fire.

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?

Mommy Monday

Hello everyone!

My son started daycare this morning! I'm excited and terrified all at once.
How does this relate to style? You may be asking.

Well, it means that I'll have to wake up earlier in order to make myself look half decent in the morning because I will be dropping him off. I usually have my clothing planned out in my head the night before but now I may actually have to get it out/ironed/ready. Oy. I think I did alright considering I just threw this on last minute. I did not bother with 'Make it work' Monday because there was no room for error today!
