goodbye tights!

That's right- it might be a little early in the season, but I'm saying goodbye to tights and hosiery. After ripping a few pairs of tights- some expensive American Apparel ones (eeek!) and a less expensive nude pair- I decided it was just easier (and much less hassle) to expose my bare legs a little early this year. After all, when your jambes are as pale as mine, a little sun exposure is good for those uber white legs!

For anybody who knew me back in my early university days, you might remember there was a time when my wardrobe was over flooded with pink! It wasn't uncommon for me to be wearing 2-4 shades of pink in one outfit. And if I wasn't wearing pink on any given day, I had lots of questions to answer to! 

I saw this flamingo scarf at Pseudio Thursday and it reminded me that because I owned so much pink back then, my roommate nicknamed me "mingo" (shortened from flamingo) since I had so much pink! 

These days pink is not nearly as popular in my wardrobe (I could easily go weeks without wearing any) but this spring I've bought a few new pink pieces- this t-shirt and scarf being 2 of them.

Finally getting into back into the swing of blogging and outfit posts! It kind of feels like coming out of hibernation! With all the colourful spring clothing in shops and a few new additions to my wardrobe I'm finally feeling inspired to post my outfits again. And it certainly helps that there's more daylight hours and warmer weather! I've finally put away my winter clothing and just recently hauled my summer clothing out of storage. It's fun to find out what goodies you might have forgotten about!

I scored this sweater dress during boxing day sales for 40% off when I had been lusting over it a few days earlier for regular price. Sometimes it does pay to wait! I wore this particular ensemble out to dinner for B's birthday not long ago (his b-day in his 20's!)

I could not live without these boots- they're a definite wardrobe staple of mine during the fall and winter months. After 5 seasons with them, I thought they had kicked the bucket last week while looking at how faded the toes were and when the zipper started to fail. However, I took them to my trusty shoe repair shop and after new soles and a new zipper, they had polished these babies up so they looked less than half their age! What a relief- saves me the money and the trouble of having to go find a new pair! I thought this might be their absolute last season, but after this repair, they may have a little more mileage in them!

* Bought locally: sweater and leggings are from Je Suis Prest Boutique while the bracelet is from Silver Daisy Designs

This is officially my new favourite sweater. It goes with just about everything and is incredibly cozy. I have to stop myself from wanting to wear it every day lately. I picked it up at local boutique, Je Suis Prest Boutique, on a boxing day sale for 30% off.
