FREESHIPPING sale

These photos are from a few days ago. It's been raining non-stop here for the last few days. Great for the gardens, not so good for working on jewellery, photographing and blogging. 

Today consists of finishing The Shadow of the Wind, which is a fabulous mystery novel, and seeing the last Batman movie. Perfect for a rainy day eh?

skirt: thrifted, salvation army, Guelph

Shirt: Yours Now Mine clothing store, Bolton

We have not seen the kittens since it started raining all day, every day, a few days ago. We have 5 now! 5 little kittens that frolic and play and run through the garden. If anyone wants a new kitten, they are mighty cute! Although we did find Nolan a home. He so desperately wants to be a house cat! I'm so glad we found him a lovely place to stay. 

How about because it's raining...and because it's the weekend...and because we have new kittens...a

Skirt/Dress: Thrifted, Bolton, Chez Thrift

Bracelets: Hattitude Jewellery 

How this outfit came to be Hattified: I wanted to wear this sweet little dress, so I started with it. Next I had to funk it up a lot (since I'm not in to looking like a 5 year old). I added the leopard print tights and the stripped shirt. I clipped on the bow as the piece de resistance. I liked it better off to the side then in the middle. I'm not total man repeller yet. The boots were just the perfect touch to compliment the clip on bow.

Why this outfit works: This outfit works because the stripped shirt has an elastic cropped part at the bottom of the shirt that brings the dress in. I like that it defines my waist and breaks up the outfit as if it really is a skirt I'm wearing instead of a dress. I did not wear any Hattitude on my neck since I thought with the bow and a necklace it would be too much. I used the rule of three in this outfit. My tights, my skirt and shirt are all patterned, but very slight. I am really diggin' the pattern on pattern look this spring (be careful with pattern on pattern though, not to over power each other)

Another version: Try it with just plain grey tights, and plain grey top. Or try it with a pink sheer blouse over top and some grey tights on the bottom with black ankle booties.

My friend Carly is visiting from Ontario. So far it has rained, rained and more rain. I took these outfit posts on the weekend before she got here. We are off to the science world today, and the aquarium. Whytecliff Park is on the agenda tomorrow. Suppose to be, bee-eh-utiful. Have a lovely (hopefully sunshiny) day.
