OOT Weekend – Rainy Toronto Day

Posted on August 23, 2010November 4, 2014 by Elaine

It’s still quite hot and humid in Toronto but this weekend the rain just wouldn’t stop!  I started the day out in this same outfit minus the blazer and I had sandals on.  I don’t know about you but I HATE wet feet!!!!  It’s so uncomfortable!  I know it’s still summer, but I decided to break out my boots.  They aren’t heavily lined so I wasn’t too worried about being too hot.  We were just going to be out for dinner and then seeing a movie, but it required us walking quite a bit so I wanted to be comfortable.

Blazer:  Suzy Shier size 3
Tanks:  unknown (old!)
Jeans:  Esprit
Boots:  no name (cheap!)
Necklaces:  mark by Avon

I really love my the necklaces so here are a few close up shots:

So here’s a question – is this a “young” outfit?  When I say young, I mean TWEEN young.  Why am I asking?  Because when I was at the restaurant I was asked by the server if I was also going to the Justin Bieber concert!!! ?????

Do I REALLY look THAT young?

    On the other hand maybe the server thought you looked really old and were a “cougar”… 😉

    Best, Lisamarie

    @ Jen – eek!! I’m in my early 30’s 😛 maybe I AM dressing too young? LOL! Those are actually only 2 sets of necklaces paired together. One of them came with a bunch of different beads all layered together already.

    I like your necklaces! did you layer a few of them together? 🙂 I also don’t think your look is ‘childish’… I’d say it looks appropriate for someone in her late teens/early 20s, which I am guessing is what you are… but just take it as a compliment! when I’m make up free I still get mistaken for a high school girl and I am 22, hehe 🙂

    Have a great day!

    You look great! I don’t think it looks too young at all. I really love how you dressed it up with the necklaces and the boots are awesome.

    LOL I’m not sure if he was flirting with me – he was an older gentleman and in his defense there WERE a ton of girls there that WERE going to see Justin Bieber. Somehow I blended in? 😛

    @Canadianpetite – I am an Avon rep 🙂 – I made a disclaimer page about it. I do it part time and LOVE it, but don’t want people to think I’m promoting my business here. Which, I can’t really do anyway as you’d have to be living in my area to be a customer or team member.

    Thank for all the compliments and reassurance that I’m not dressed like a tween LOL!

    I agree with Nelah – prob just flirting with u. I think the outfit is great and not young. Altho, sitting down, he probably could only see your face which I’m guessing looks young. You seem to love those Avon/mark necklaces — do you sell?

    It’s a great outfit that has a bit of edginess that makes it visually interesting but not “young.” Most likely, the Bieber reference is a joke…I’ve had that comment about my hair. =)

    I don’t think it is young…”chic” maybe but not childish young. I like your melange of necklaces here, they work to elongate the look! It’s rainy as heck here in Boston as well…but not hot and humid. It’s 60 degrees and quite chilly!

A longer video, because there’s a lot to talk ab A longer video, because there’s a lot to talk about here. 🫤 I’ll be reaching out to the company in question to make them aware of the situation, but I wanted to share it with you all as well. 

How is this type of thing still happening, even in the age of AI? If a high-tech “smart tool” can’t properly recognize and accommodate diverse skin tones, then it needs further development and should not yet be released. End of story. 

Use your purchasing power to support brands that are inclusive in their product development, testing, promotion, AND corporate structure. Every action has impact.

Getting to play with the re-release of @lancomeofficial #JuicyTubes has been such a fun throwback! ✨ I remember thinking they were the ultimate ~Cool Girl~ makeup product when they first came out and reading about them as a beauty must-have in every magazine (J14 anyone?! 😂) They were basically the “grown up” version of Lip Smackers! 

Gotta say, applying one of their trademark frosted, shiny shades now is making 12 year old me *very* happy. 

Now excuse me while I reapply Lavender Latte and blast some Britney 👄💿

Do you remember these 00s classics?

We had an amazing experience there and left feeling so full and so happy. The chef even made me a special entree (with no advance notice) when I wasn’t able to eat the other options because of my allergies 🥹. Now that’s service!

Their Soft Smudge Lip & Cheek stick is incredible. A cream-to-powder formula(!!!!), this baby is buildable, blendable, and beautiful. 

Plus, with just a drop of KJH.Brand Hyper Shine Serum, it transforms into a glossy, rich sheen of luxurious color. 

I’ve used it on my eyes, lips, and cheeks in both glossy and matte textures, and love it each time. It’s genuinely like having 5 products in one. 😍

Have you tried anything from @kjh.brand yet?

I truly love these @milkmakeup Cooling Water Jelly Tints and wear at least one daily on some combo of eyes, lips, and cheeks. The color payoff is 🤯, the longevity is 😍. They’ve got vegan collagen and aloe to plump and soothe skin.
