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!

    What a cute outfit, definitely not “tween” young though. I think you may just look young…that necklace is a nice touch. 🙂

    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!

Celebrating our best boy’s birthday with a custom Celebrating our best boy’s birthday with a custom sensitive-tummy-approved cake from @jujulet! Cause life’s too short not to mark special occasions 🐶❤️🎂 

I can’t believe @guster_dog is already 6! 😭❤️❤️

The cake is made of pumpkin, sweet potato, spinach, and carrot. The “frosting” is potato cream mixed with natural colorings. Gluten-free and lactose-free with lots of healthy veggies means Guster can enjoy his special treat and we don’t have to worry about his health. 🥳

The cake is truly a work of art, and - as you can see - Guster definitely approves of the taste! He ate the sculpture of himself so fast that we didn’t even catch it on camera! 🙈

Would you get a cake for your pet?

I was invited to try the Turkish Bath Ritual and was truly blown away. The space is beautiful and calming, the service was impeccable, and the treatment itself was divine. 🧖‍♀️💆‍♀️ 

It’s an indulgence to be sure, but one I would 10/10 recommend for special occasions. 

Have you tried this type of treatment?

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted much. I’m finding it a bit hard, tbh. 🫤

I’m figuring out what the next phase of #TorontoBeautyReviews looks like and healing from an injury, while my 9-5 has lately been more like 7-7, so I’m filling my off hours with family, dance, food, and books. Finding joy and peace where I can in an intense world. ❤️

I still try out lots of products and I do occasionally paint my face 🙃. I’m just not as interested in the grind of daily posts just for the sake of staying relevant anymore. Which has meant that I’m not on as many PR lists as I used to be. Which means that I don’t have as much new stuff to review. It’s a cycle. 

Things are shifting, which is tough sometimes. But it’s ok - so am I. 😊

A longer video, because there’s a lot to talk abou 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.
