What to do with Leather

Thursday, April 14, 2011

Hello friends, I hope that you are all enjoying a wonderful week so far. I recently purchased a beautiful vintage leather skirt, and I want to wear it before the summer starts and before it gets too hot. Since I have been seeing leather skirts around the blogosphere so much over the past few months, I thought I'd draw some inspiration from these very fashionable ladies.

Awkward & Awesome Thursday
Awkward:
~ Dropping off your dry cleaning and getting hit on by an old man who barely speaks English
~ Your grade 8 boyfriend/person you thought you were going to marry, meeting the current love of your life and having a 20 minute long conversation with one another
~ A co-worker telling you that you weigh the same as his left leg...

Awesome:
~ The fact that it's FRIDAY tomorrow, which means ... the weekend!
~ Sunny Spring weather that is hopefully here to stay
~ Paying off a loan and seeing $0.00 owing!

Awkward&Awesome Business Casual

Thursday, April 7, 2011

I have Spring fever but am still waiting for Spring to actually arrive. The temperatures have been fairly mild lately but the mornings are still frosty and hopping into a cold car at 7:15am without proper attire just doesn't appeal to me. So a great alternative to getting all decked out is this wonderful blazer I recently bought at H&M. It's a knit, which means, it's comfortable! I also stumbled upon this amazing pair of flared dress pants from H&M as well. I could have bought so much from their new Spring collections, but I held back and decided to get pieces I will get the most use of right now. It's always fun trying on cute summer dresses and little itty bitty shorts, but I'm going to wait until the weather is a little warmer to start delving into summer clothes.

Since I always thoroughly enjoy reading Sydney's Awkward & Awesome moments every Thursday over on The Daybook, I decided to share a few of my own A&A moments from the past week.

Awkward:

~ Your boss yelling at someone next to you and trying not to look

~ Seeing someone you know while getting your hair done (having a head full of tinfoil isn't the best way to get reacquainted)

~ Getting a virus on your computer and the IT guy looking through your browser history and seeing a million blogs and fashion searches (oops!)

~ A grown man asking how he can get a part time job at my work so he can work next to me. Seriously? I'm half your age bud!

Awesome:

~ Getting into your car and seeing 18 degrees celsius

~ Putting away your winter boots and pulling out summer wedges

~ Fresh new highlights

~ Throwing on your cozy clothes after a long day

Have an Awkward and Awesome Thursday folks!
