Weekend Weather Woes





Blazer: ModCloth
T-shift: Gap
Jeans: Old Navy
Flats: Aldo
Toque: F21
Scarf: Vintage
Gloves: The Bay
Bag: Urban Outfitters
Boots that I ultimately had to change into because the rain was destroying my feet: Sterling.

It's official, I'm a weather jinx. Last weekend when I had the weekend off from work (and when these pictures were taken, don't judge me) it was pouring rain. We got dressed up in our festive Canadian gear and walked around downtown to celebrate the one year anniversary of the Olympics in a mess of umbrellas and puddles. This weekend while I was stuck at work? Gorgeous and sunny. Oh how the world hates me.

Sorry if I'm a bit Debbie Downer-ish. I have a bit of a stomach bug which caught me by surprise. AND I am finding that lately any time I look at "next week" in my day planner I am overwhelmed with how busy my work week looks.

Don't worry though, I've been counter balancing my busy work weeks by being completely unproductive in my personal life. And people say blondes aren't smart.

    That blazer! Ahhhh! It's gorgeous. I love how you paired it with red and denim, you look adorable.

    I hope you feel better soon! Being sick and feeling down is the worst.

    I almost ordered this blazer! It is sooo cute! And I love the cozy knits & reds, so wintery & cute! Love the scarf! If you want to feel better about your Vancouver weather, you can always come visit the east coast! ;) Hope your days and your stomach get better, m'dear! xoxo.

    Damn, Vancouver rain. I was ecstatic that it didn't rain for me this weekend, finally. I have been having bad luck with the weather too.

    And I love that ModCloth blazer. I am a sucker for anything lace, and I love how you have dressed it down here, adorable. xx veronika

    I'm so sorry you aren't feeling well AND the weather isn't cooperating! That's just not nice.

    On the upside...you do look really cute in your pops of red!

    I hope the week gets better for you!
