The summer OOTD and Sydney's bun

As I said before, girls in blogs inspire me SO much. I saw them wearing summer dresses with tights so I decided to give it a go !

White cotton jacket : from Joe Fresh. I wore it all summer over my swimsuit. Recycling !

Red patent belt : Tommy Hilfiger
H & M floral red dress bought a 100 years ago

big white over the knee socks : Winners

Caramel boots : Sirens

And this is me ! Showing proudly my 1st attempt to a Sydney bun. I received tons of compliments for this bad boy ...I will be eternally in her debt for that !

PS : Everybody in the blogosphere is doing the 30 for 30. I can't commit to such a task but I have decided that each time I wore an item from my wardrobe, I will put it away. So I'll have to use my whole closet instead of just always wearing the same stuff....Re-interpretation of the 30 for 30 if you want ...

the H&M effect : ruffle and floral OOTD !

Blooper ! I found the pic funny so I posted it...bare with me , it's Friday and I am exhausted after an horrendous week at work. I think I'd found Mary Poppins sense of humor completely hilarious today so ....

The H&M addiction :

Black cardi : H&M from the last spring collection. It has 2 buckles on the side to secure the draping, it's absolutely comfy but not slouchy...good buy: 20 $ if I remember well !

Floral dress by H&M : seen on Anh's blog. I just found it was adorable without being too much...And when she said it was 16$95, well..., I couldn't resist. I said it was a dress but for me it's just a tunic as it barely covers my butt ! Nothing that a good pair of black leggings cannot solve though... (H&M again)

The non H&M items :

Big, hot grey wool socks found at Winners

Caramel boots from Sirens

Jewelry from Le Chateau : earrings were removed before pictures because I developed an allergy to them (what can I say, I need gold!....Does nobody understand that I am PRECIOUS ?)

I would have never worn socks over my boots' line before the blogging thing. Reading beauty posts made me try fashion stuff that I would have never thought about by myself. Thanks Kendi, Jodi, Sydney, style underdog, Chloe, Anh and all the other beautiful ladies that opened my eyes on a world of "try it, you'll like it !"

See ! Big military belt worn over a ruffled dress : it works and "that's the way , doudoudoudoud, I like it, doudoudoudoud" (can you see the booty shake....ruffles flying in the air ?)

What with the face ?

I am such a baby !

PS : I needed to ventilate my week at work, can you feel it ?

a bad hair day ....

or a bad hair week ? My hair is acting crazy lately : no volume on top and frizzy like crazy in the length. So all week end, I put my hair in a bun and under a hat bought in 3 colors at Aldo last week. Grey for yesterday outfit ...

...Cream for today.

OOTD : a cream knitted dress, under my "rock star" coat. It reminds me of the "Almost famous" movie with Kate Hudson (the one and only film she was good in, if I remember well...). This coat is so old, the back is completely distressed (I was going to Uni when I wore it and always had a backpack....). Boots were bought last year at Sirens, Those stores sell horrendous leggings, jeggings and T-shirts but I was amazed by their shoe selection last year (particularly in the boot area, there were really nice pieces for ridiculously low prices...). Big glasses to hide a "no-make-up-day" are from Winners.

Caro- looking annoyed in those pics xxx
