"Remember, Remember lest we forget"


4/30


My son has been asking what the Poppies are that everyone has been wearing. So I decided that we'd go to the ceremony at the Cenotaph here in our city. Also there is a new wall of Honour put up... and my grandfathers name is on it (he fought as a fighter pilot in WWII). I hadn't seen it yet... and really wanted too.
This is what I wore. Lucky for us it was a beautiful day out!

If I could live in tights socks and boots, I would! I'll be try to not wear it two days in a row though...hehe. But you know when you have a outfit pictured in your head? That's what happened to me. I just couldn't think of anything else that I wanted to wear more.

3/30



Just like putting together outfits... some days it is easier to get "the" pose than on others. Today is one of those days, when the outfit comes together easily but the actual posing does not. I'm not sure how many photos I actually took... but I finally got two... and I think that they happened out of more exasperation than anything else. I love that at my office I can dress the way that I did yesterday but then where this. No one cares... which sometimes is frustrating.
There are days that I dream of wearing a cute pencil skirt and heels... but to wear a pair of heels with a pencil skirt, my coworkers and the clients would wonder where I thought I was going. Maybe one day I'll walk in head held high wearing said heels and not care.

Until tomorrow! Hope your night is wonderful :)

2/30



Like the pose? Haha... I guess I got bored of waiting for the camera to click :)

This outfit is not very inspired, yes it is true. However, this seems to be my mommy uniform. This works for running errands, cleaning up around the house and going to work for a few hours (I have a very relaxed office). And I felt comfy and cute to boot!

1/30



We're off to a good start, well other than the not smiling, wet hair and running a tad late for work... I hope that each day will be this easy. I realize that, that won't be the case though, there will be some days that choosing from my now limited closet will be easy and then I am sure there will be days that I just want to give up. In some strange way those are the days that I am looking forward to. Those will be the days that I learn from and that I will really need to use my creative powers (cause I do have powers... I'd like to think that they are super powers, but alas I'm just a normal human).

I really like this outfit. These items have not been put together before... I think that they are working well as a team here :) It's one for the memory banks.

(awkward pose...hehe)
