Sunny Weekend and new TplusJ jewels

Posted on November 23, 2011 by Elaine

This past weekend was so sunny and nice out.  I can’t believe I was able to step outside without a coat and be comfortable!

We didn’t have any specific plans for the weekend, just doing errands and seeing our parents.  But I have worn this outfit to work before seeing as my work environment is really casual, but for most people this is probably only suitable for weekend wear.

IMG_5503
Jeans: Gap Jean Leggings 00R (here in black)
Shirt: Jacob Connexion (OLD!) XS
Sweater: Old Navy XS (can’t find it online anymore!)
Boots: Miz Mooz size 7
Necklace and bracelet: T+J designs
Oh and yes, if you follow me on twitter you already know that I cut my hair!  It was kind of spontaneous and I think it looks better straight, but I don’t mind it curly either.

IMG_5500
Just wanted to try a different angle, but it’s still not very creative 😛   Sorry for the hose, we don’t have a very big balcony!

IMG_5511
Here’s a close up of the pretty necklace from T+J Designs.  I’m sure you know the blogger sisters behind these gorgeous jewels!  Tiffany and Jen!
IMG_5510

And the linked bracelets which I think might now be sold out?  These fit me pretty well, slightly big but they’re not going to fall off.  I know there are some ladies with really small wrists out there so unfortunately thse wouldn’t work for you.

IMG_5506
I just love how both the necklace and bracelets are so sparkly but they still work (I think!) with a casual outfit like this one. 

Could you wear an outfit like this to your workplace?

    Thanks SL! Oh yes if my hair stylist didn’t convince me that it would look good curly I would have never done it. I get so lazy to straighten it all the time!

    Ahhh Lor, I know, I’m terrible at getting posts up on time! Truth be told I buy stuff and I don’t wear them right away. They literally sit in the bag for a while then I remember and then wear it non-stop LOL! I think I bought the sweater on sale too so it was likely almost sold out even at that time 🙁

    I almost forgot about the chop! I think it looks great curly which is good for you because you don’t want to spend endless hours straightening all the time. And as always, your jewels are gorgeous!

    I wouldn’t have thought to layer a bright orange shirt under the sweater, but I love the effect it created. The boots add to the fall vibe. You look great, and I’m a fan of the new haircut!

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?

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. 😊
