OOTD: Wardrobe Dissection

Posted on October 17, 2010November 4, 2014 by Elaine

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  It was a beautiful weekend here, sunny and Fall like.  There are a lot of crunchy leaves on the ground already though eeek!

This outfit is of a shirt I’ve had for a really long time.  I forgot that I had it as it was waaaay in the back of one of my drawers.  I decided to pull it out and start wearing it again.

Shirt:  Le Chateau size XS (really old!)
Jeans:  Good old Gap Jean Leggings – I think I’m wearing these too much!
Get them here and here or here remember I’m wearing regular length in 00!
Booties:  Me Too NY size 7
Necklace:  Avon
Not sure why I’m making such a strange face here!   Do you guys have trouble smiling for the camera?  Every time I think I’m smiling I’m not or it comes out all goofy like this!
Here’s the back view – I’m don’t think this top is exactly petite friendly – I’m not sure about the length and the chest area is definitely too big!   But this shirt is really lightweight and I find I can easily tuck it into pants and skirts without any bulge.
Thoughts?
Often my hair does really funny things, and on days like that up it goes!   But I was feeling a little fancy so I threw on my Petit Plume Simone headband.
Remember….Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to enter my 
Petit Plume Giveaway!!!!!
Enter until Monday October 18th midnight EST!

    Oh yes, I always feel awkward in front of the camera and even though I try to bring it, sometimes, its just not ‘brought’!

    Love the pattern on this blouse though!

    You look elegant and uptown. What a beautiful look. And you wear it so well, very naturally, not at all affected. Beautiful! You show off one of my favorite (classier) styles on the fashion blogosphere.

    That tunic top looks pretty comfortable over tights/jeggings. And I always have such an awkward expression on my face in outfit pics too, makes it easier to just crop out the head 😛

    The feathers in your headband is cute! Definitely pairs well with the pattern of your top/dress. I rotate between wanting to hit myself for forgetting pieces I own to wanting to pat myself on my back for finding it lol.

    It is so hard to smile on cue. I always end up with a weird look on my face. But if I don’t try to smile, I look really angry. It’s bizarre.

    I also really like the hair accessory. Very pretty!

    The top is adorable! I really like your hair here, especially with the hairband. : ) I don’t think I own anything from Le Chateau because I find their clothing is aimed more at clubbers. I do own a scarf from back in the 80s from them though…it’s actually my mom’s, but I stole it. : )

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.
