Classin' It Up, and the 40+ Blogger Meet-Up Starts Tomorrow!

I made it! Through 39 hours in 4 days, plus my WW meeting tonight. I'm done. On holiday! 
Look at me, all classy in grey. I'm practically a lady. I had a lot of strong positive reaction to this dress.


  • Dress - Zara, thrifted; purchased here a couple of weeks ago for $22.50
  • Shoes - Grotesque; purchased here the same day for $199.00 on sale

Too bad the dress is CRAP. It pilled on the side from my purse walking to and from work. It's very itchy (I have a full vintage slip on under it).
But - sigh - it looks great on me! One more wear and it's gone. Quelle drag!

The stuff:
Not a drag? These fab mustard and gun-grey-brown shoes. They were so comfy - I walked about 4 blocks in them to and from lunch, and wore them for 7 hours in the office and 1.5 hours at WW. My feet feel pretty good - no rubbing!

I'm totally having a good New Shoe Week! Three pairs all gorgeous and comfortable. Sweet!

Bling:
Unanimous love for the yellow belt matching the shoes. I can't help it - I love matchy.


  • Belt - Liz Claiborne, vintage 80s, thrifted
  • Bangle - local
  • Earrings - Glee


Hmm...something's missing.
Oh, yeah!


  • Ring - Stone Roses


So...this is it! Tomorrow morning, I hop on a float plane and fly off to the mainland and the Big City of Vancouver to the 40+ Blogger Meet-UP! I am stoked, excited, nervous, giddy, freaked, you name it, I am there.

Yes, I'll be taking lots of pictures, you bet I will. No, I won't be taking a giant wardrobe (float planes have a 25lb luggage allowance). I'll be doing a massive Bigass Wrap-Up on Monday - such a grand adventure!

  6. The dress does suit you perfectly, but pilling after one wear, gone after two? That's not so good! Zara, shame on you for poor quality.
    Hope you have a fabulous time at the meet-up! xxx
