It's getting warmer over here, folks.
Temps in the 20's means good things. Very good things.
... Mostly it means a smile on my face.
Knotted.

Not much to say other than the next few weeks are going to be crazy!
This weekend I've helped my brother move, cleaned/painted my apartment, and joined some wonderful local ladies for a blogger brunch.
Next weekend I'm buying, moving and building IKEA furniture. Pray for me.
Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be heading to the new apartment to clean more, bring things and make the place liveable.
The people you meet.
I love looking back at certain things in my life. Especially people. The ones who move in and stay put, and the ones who float in and out of your life. They all make an impact; some small, some large, some obvious, and some unexpected.
Like a best friend who shares the same obsession with cats as me. I am finally able to let my cat-freak-flag fly, and I love it.
Like my old boss who would engage me in daily deep conversations about life, perspective, society and doing what we want instead of what is expected of us. I've been inspired many times over because of her.
Like an old flame who taught me that guilt is not a reason to stick around. That no matter how hard you try, there are just some things that cannot be fixed.
Like a friend who opened my eyes to new experiences, new ideas and to take more chances. Be open to more.
Like those lost connections in life who you sometimes wonder about. Work harder to keep in touch with the great people you've met.
Like a best friend, who has taught me to be strong and to love myself first. And to never ever settle for less. I'm still working on this.
Everyone that passes through your life can teach you a lesson.
It's amazing to take a step back and realize how much people have taught you.
Do you ever reflect on the people you've met?
Trendy bargains.
Suzy Shier denim jacket; Costco dress; eBay scarf; ALDO oxfords
So erm, I scored this pretty sweet t-shirt dress at Costco for $15 the other day. Even though I have a $0 clothing budget for the month. Thanks Costco for having random wonderful finds. The stripes are right on trend, the dress is the perfect length to be worn at work, and it is so ridiculously comfy. For serious.
I kind of want to go back and get the black one...
Spring inspiration.
Hey spring, I don't know where you've been but you haven't really been here. So... let's get a move on shall we?
.... Well I guess this last outfit could be +30 appropriate without that jacket ;) Maybe I am just dreaming for summer.
Here are a couple spring outfits to inspire me in the upcoming months (hopefully) before it's +30 again.
Graphic tee + Denim jacket + Coloured jeans
Coloured blazer + Denim dress + Mixed prints
.... Well I guess this last outfit could be +30 appropriate without that jacket ;) Maybe I am just dreaming for summer.
My best accessory.
My best accessory: Charlie.
He often goes by the names:
Charlie-bear, Charles, Charles Barker, Charlie Choo, Choo, Choo-Choo
...
I've probably given him a complex.
Nautical pencil skirts.
Forever 21 skirt; Joe fresh striped top; Forever 21 belt; Payless flats
I instagrammed this outfit last week. Then it snowed on Friday and I realized I'd be taking photos of this re-created outfit in the snow. At least my flats held it together.
I love the nautical vibes of the stripes and the red belt. And this jersey pencil skirt from Forever 21 is one of my favourite buys probably ever. For $12 it's lasted a heck of a long time.
