Bumble bee

I was wearing this when two drag queens came to my youth group to talk about the drag community in our city. As they were leaving, my number one drag queen crush (who I have the same houndstooth coat as!) stopped me and asked about my shoes - "What size are your feet? Where did you get those shoes? I want them!" Eek! I died a thousand glittery deaths…these flats really are magic.





I was channeling Gazel a bit with this outfit, I love the way she pairs pullover sweaters with dresses and skirts.

Monday

I did these gradation glitter nails last night and I love how they turned out. I'm not so good at painting my nails, but with glitter I find it's harder to mess up. Plus the glitter tips matched my tights!

Sophisticated

I'm not a particular sophisticated person, but this outfit made me feel very sophisticated. I guess that's the magic of a structured jacket.





These jeans fit perfectly, but I wish they had belt loops. Pants have a tendency to fall down on me, a curse of having a big stomach with small hips. But I ended up getting the for free so I can't complain. I ordered them from Asos when they were on sale for $25, and when I hadn't received the a month later I emailed the people at Asos to ask what happened. They replied telling me that they hadn't sent them out at all, and since they were now out of stock they refunded my money. A few weeks later, though, they arrived at my parents door step! I don't mean to look gift jeans in the mouth, but do any of you know if it's possible to add belt loops?



I love polka dots, especially big polka dots, so when I saw this top at Old Navy I couldn't say no. I didn't like the sleeves (very voluminous with elastic at the bottom) so I snipped them right off. I figured I'd regret this decision - I often act too fast with a pair of scissors - but thankfully I didn't. I love the little flutter-sleeve going on here!

Happy Thanksgiving weekend, fellow Canadians! I'm a firm believer that Monday is the holiday, but I'm sure a lot of you celebrated today. I'll be celebrating (alone) tomorrow. Who can say no to pumpkin pie? I'll have a little post about it up tomorrow.

Mod Night

Last Friday night one of my friends celebrated her birthday by going to Mod Night at a very cool lounge downtown. Having only gotten the invite a few hours before, I got dressed in a hurry. I don't know much about Mod, and I don't have a lot of Mod-inspired clothes in my closet, but I thought I did okay. Wearing a knitted hat to a bar where I'd be dancing was quite silly, but I just have this internal associating with white hats and Mod! I love thematic dressing, but I was thankful I didn't go too over the top after seeing the casual-but-still-chic crowd there. I had a great time, and I loved the way the skirt of the dress moved on the dance floor!
