It's Like It's My Birthday...But It's Not

Almost everything in today's outfit is a gift from someone:
Got this new-to-me suede jacket for $7 while on holiday, using my Christmas money from my mother-in-law. I think it might be a bit big to wear over a blouse - it feels like more of a light outdoor jacket for spring. I'll probably wear it as outwear once the weather gets better.

Second wear of the Heather Skirt, a gift from my lovely coworker.

And two Fluevogs in a row? Yes! My "Listen Up" (forgot the model name, some movie star) gladiators, my 41st birthday present to myself last year.
The earrings are a gift from my friend Elaine and the necklace was a handmade gift from my friend Cat.

I didn't even think of that when I picked out today's outfit. How weird is that? People must like me or something, ha!

Jacket (B.U.M. Equipment, thrift, $7.50), blouse (Do & Bee), cami (Esprit), skirt (Suzy Shier, gift from Heather), tights (Hue), shoes (Fluevog), earrings (H&M, gift from Elaine), necklace (handmade, gift from Cat).

  5. I was curious about Fluevogs, and I stumbled upon your heels. They're called Listen Up Ivanna: http://www.fluevog.com/code/?w=family%3AListen%20Ups&pp=1&view=detail&p=1&colourID=1978

  7. Wendy: I love the champagne-glass shape of the "Listen Up" line.

    Jane: brown and blue is such a great combo, thanks!

    Sal: I only have 5 pairs. But every time I go to Vancouver, I go into the store and usually buy another pair. I'm planning making my husband buy them for me this year, heh heh. How many do you have?

    HCS: Hey, good to see you! Aren't they the best shoes?

    Cat: Thanks, that's it! I can never remember the names. Don't Fluevog have the best shoes?? They are all handmade.

    Lady D: Thanks!
