a manly OOTD : pink biker !

I like to mix and match pieces of cloth that were not meant to meet !
A pink sheer top from Le château bought 4-5 years ago in an outlet
Black straps from hubby
Jeggings from RW&CO : who knew that one day, I'll wear those. I used to say that they were ugly, not classy, ultimately uncomfortable and You'll never see me in those blablabla....Now I admit, I'd sleep in those if I could !
Pink boots from Payless : bought 4-5 years ago and so torn it's not even decent to wear them but I can't resolve myself to throw them away...


I couldn't resist posting this 2nd pic , even though it doesn't flatter my butt ( but hey, let's get realistic my future as a top model was quite dark even before this pic !)... So, where were we?....Oh, yes ! I posted the pic because my 8 year old is my photographer and said : mum your jacket is on the floor and you always say we mustn't DO that....She cracks me up...She is such a sweet nice tyrant !


And ready to go out in the wind (so cold today in Montreal !).
Black leather jacket from La City bought 10 years ago when I used to leave in Paris....A basic stays a basic, doesn't it ?
Pareo used as scarf : offered by mother in law (official sponsor of my scarf collection ...)



Caro-working this week end (but night off for Halloween night with the kids : yeah !) xxx

Accessories, my love !

First of all : shoes ...of course ! I bought them 3 years ago in Payless (for non Canadian girls, it's probably one of the cheapest store to find shoes...). I loved their retro vibe but found them ultimately uncomfortable back then. I guess there are still uncomfortable now but as I don't have to run after a baby and a toddler at the same time anymore, I can tolerate them....The tag said 27$99 (I still have it under the sole of my shoe !) but as Payless has BOGOs all the time , I probably grabbed them for half the price ....

Modcloth : Braid the storm belt good value for this very versatile belt. As I lost a lot of pounds, a lot of trousers are too big now, so I belt them like crazy !

Who doesn't like free jewelry ? I am such a lucky girl ! Last week end, I was working and I was feeling all gloomy (I hate working on week ends !) ...Then I looked at my computer and a colleague had left me a note saying : You'll find a little box full of jewelry I am not wearing. They need a loving home...
Isn't she a sweetheart ? Thank you Vicky !
She remembered buying the earrings at MEXX. As a pure coincidence, I had a DIY necklace that is done with the same material ! I guess it was DESTINY for me to have those earrings....

Again, a little bit of Vicky's unloved items. I already owned the white bracelet but the 3 golden ones are a perfect match.
