Compliments Convinced Me






Outfit Details
Dress: Lulu*s
Bag: Plum

I've talked about this before (mostly when I'm making excuses for not blogging enough), but working in a restaurant can sometimes make my social life a little less fashionable then I'd like. Mostly because when I'm at work my hair is up and I'm around food so I couldn't feel less attractive when I leave work. This was especially the case yesterday when I went to yoga in the morning and then worked in a construction zone (my restaurant is being renovated) for the rest of the day. I met up with my extremely fashionable cousin Alicia for coffee after work and while I had already warned her I wasn't feeling attractive enough for photos she somehow convinced me. In other words, she threw a couple compliments my way and pulled out her camera. What can I say, I'm easy.

Besides, we were hanging out in a parking lot in Coquitlam next to an A&W. If that isn't fashion inspiration I don't know what is.

  12. that blue on you is stunning!!! And really like the maxi length too - you are fully greek goddess in these pics, even if you're at an A&W parking lot (goddesses eat french fries, right?)
