Classin' It Up, and the 40+ Blogger Meet-Up Starts Tomorrow!

I made it! Through 39 hours in 4 days, plus my WW meeting tonight. I'm done. On holiday! 
Look at me, all classy in grey. I'm practically a lady. I had a lot of strong positive reaction to this dress.


  • Dress - Zara, thrifted; purchased here a couple of weeks ago for $22.50
  • Shoes - Grotesque; purchased here the same day for $199.00 on sale

Too bad the dress is CRAP. It pilled on the side from my purse walking to and from work. It's very itchy (I have a full vintage slip on under it).
But - sigh - it looks great on me! One more wear and it's gone. Quelle drag!

The stuff:
Not a drag? These fab mustard and gun-grey-brown shoes. They were so comfy - I walked about 4 blocks in them to and from lunch, and wore them for 7 hours in the office and 1.5 hours at WW. My feet feel pretty good - no rubbing!

I'm totally having a good New Shoe Week! Three pairs all gorgeous and comfortable. Sweet!

Bling:
Unanimous love for the yellow belt matching the shoes. I can't help it - I love matchy.


  • Belt - Liz Claiborne, vintage 80s, thrifted
  • Bangle - local
  • Earrings - Glee


Hmm...something's missing.
Oh, yeah!


  • Ring - Stone Roses


So...this is it! Tomorrow morning, I hop on a float plane and fly off to the mainland and the Big City of Vancouver to the 40+ Blogger Meet-UP! I am stoked, excited, nervous, giddy, freaked, you name it, I am there.

Yes, I'll be taking lots of pictures, you bet I will. No, I won't be taking a giant wardrobe (float planes have a 25lb luggage allowance). I'll be doing a massive Bigass Wrap-Up on Monday - such a grand adventure!

    Hope you have a great time at the blogger meet up! :)

    I love that dress on you - such a shame it is a pain to wear as it really does look great, and wonderful with the yellow! :)

    The dress does suit you perfectly, but pilling after one wear, gone after two? That's not so good! Zara, shame on you for poor quality.
    Hope you have a fabulous time at the meet-up! xxx

    From the photos on Instagram it looks like much fun was had at the Meetup! Looking forward to seeing your post.

    Too bad about the Zara dress - it does look good on you, shame it's such poor quality.
