Wow, how did yet another week just pass by? I feel like I hardly ever had a moment to sit back and relax, and catch up with all the marvelous images and conversations going on online...I have my work cut out for me tomorrow today, I think!
I did however manage to photograph a few outfits here and there- nothing stellar, you know when it just feels like you could have tried a little harder to make it more...just more.
Anyway, I was quite happy with this one, as it's a colour combination I fell in love with while playing with polyvore in the fall, but didn't have the right elements. The necklace is actually something I found while polyvoring (oh dear, dangerous...). I am so loving the return of mint and pale aqua in my life, it's a perfect accompaniment to lime greens as well as the recent rust and orange combinations.

I wore my beloved Contemporarian dress with some greys this week (in honour of it reaching sale prices for some lucky folk)- I can't wait for summer weather, to wear it out in some warm sunshine though.

While cleaning out the closet last weekend, I came across my squiggly vintage pencil dress, unworn in some time. I love the texture and colour of it, but have never worn it much. It definitely requires some moxy, since it's quite fitted (though slightly stretchy) and required really good posture and tummy holding in- not a bad thing, since I'm a terrible sloucher by nature, which kinda negates the effect of nice clothing! Um, the cats were fighting behind me through this quick photo session, that's the story. Mr. Innocent sitting next to me being the chief instigator....

I went out shopping with a friend last week, completely firm in my resolve not to buy anything. Well, this red linen colour-dipped Michael Kors skirt was just hanging on its own at Winners, in my size, at a nice price. I could NOT say no. It's a beautiful vibrant red, with a hint of orange, and the fabric is luxurious and soft. I only wish I could have worn this with some cork wedge sandals, but alas it's not quite warm enough. I did test out mottled bare legs though!
