Aunt Nancy

ootd-july16I named this post Aunt Nancy mainly because it was my nephew’s 3rd birthday when I was wearing it.

Surprise surprise, my outfit is basically all from the store Dynamite. Jeesh! I had no idea I have so many things from this one store in my closet! Guess it’s my favorite g0–to place for work attire.

The top I’m wearing doesn’t get much wear out of it as my purple one does. I bought the purple ruffle top first and ended up absolutely in love with it (meaning wearing it maybe more than once a week!) so I bought the yellow, and white one! Gotta say, it’s pretty difficult to pair the white one with a pair of trousers or shorts because I’d end up looking like a waitress/server! So that barely gets any use. Hmpf.orange

Wow. I really need a hair cut. Colonix? Not so much needed. Fret not, I booked a hair appointment for July 31!~ Though it got me thinking, I want to go back to my orange/yellow/black/blonde hair days. See what I mean? It looked good, and I miss it!

Top: Dynamite [circa May 2009!]
Cardigan: Smart Set [bought a long time ago but rarely worn because I used to hate the color]
Capri’s: Dynamite maybe $35? [purchased two summers ago when I started working here]
Shoes: Brand name: Seychelle’s. Purchased in spring 2007 from Browns online store in Toronto, and have worn the heck out of them. I mean, look at the toes on them! What a disgrace :) I have yet to make another purchase from Browns. Guess it was a one time only thing. I really don’t like anything they have listed and even if I do like it, it’s like three hundred bucks for a pair of flip flops!

And now for some close ups! First, the capri/bermuda/shorts. Probably not the most flattering photo known to mankind, but what can you do. It was taken swiftly and with my blackberry. So there ya have it. Some minature triangle design with a black satin sash belt to boot. Lovely.

Shoes? I really shouldn’t be wearing these to work. They’re so worn out. They’re the most comfortable soft leather flats available. Decided I needed a backup second pair and ended up contacting the designer of Seychelle’s and asking if they had any in my size in Canada or the US. Unfotunately, I was a few months too late as they stopped making the shoe. Wah wah!

Kitchen Klutz

So I’m totally in the mood for a pita bread PIZZA. Yeh yeh, you heard that right. Except, I don’t remember what kind of stuff to put on it. I’m hardly innovative in the kitchen without a recipe in front of me. I remember reading one of my daily blogs and how they made a pita pizza, and I’m totally craving one right now.

Where is a recipe with a photo!? Anyone…anyone?

Normally during this time I’d make just a pita but I dont want to fry up a chicken breast (frozen) and I don’t have any tomatoes because I used them up all last night in a delicious meal that I loved, and boyfriend’s lips flared up on. Oops. Maybe he’s allergic to majoram.

wtf is with me having no life and updating my website 2x/day now!? lol.

Whorkit

july15Ya. I know it’s Saturday and I’m totally blogging about what I was wearing to work on Wednesday. It’s okay, I’m going to start relaxing packing for another one of Boyfriend’s triathlons tomorrow morning just as I finish this post right up! I should blog what I’m wearing, today instead! Whatevs. I think later I’m going to end up looking at more cars. Surprised? Shouldn’t be.

Top: Abercrombie (circa 2007/2008?)
Capris: Mexx purchased in 2007. The most versatile capri’s I’ve ever worn/purchased. These are made of thicker material and are so immune to looking dirty or stained like a white pant/short would. These are amaaazing.
Brown Flats: From ALDO shoe store and a half size too big, but they didn’t have my shoe size so I bought inserts. They’re so comfy, and they look much better with age.

I have a little story about the top I’m wearing. I used to go online to abercrombie’s website and purchase things when they were on clearance since I knew my size and everything. At one point I was getting a bit worried with my online order because it didn’t have a tracking number so after 15 business days were up, I called their toll free number and asked where my package was. Turned out that the sweater and the boxers (for my boyf) that I ordered were “lost in the mail”. I was automatically sent a new package with my purchases. Both packages ended up coming to me in the mail within two business days. I had a double order.  I ended going into Toronto because there’s no limit as to when you can return things there. So, I decided to return one of the two sweaters (boyfriend loves the Abercrombie boxers so he kept his) and I ended up getting this top I’m wearing!

Score.
