Peasant Florals

As predicted, we have haze again from the forest fires in the interior of the province. The sky is solid grey, like a slab of concrete. You can't tell where the sun is, the birds are creepily quiet, and there's no wind. It's hot and the air feels like powder. 

 All that to explain why the colour and lighting is all wonky in my pictures today. Sorry! I blame wildfires.

• Blouse - H&M, thrifted; last seen here in August with so much awesome, and a circle skirt
• Skirt - Ranna Gill, thrifted; purchased here for $22.95
• Shoes - Asos, consignment; last worn here in August with a sunshine dress

 My first 2 pictures came out blurry, so I had to change my camera settings. Gah, no time! I'm in a hurry in the mornings.

I'm the first to admit that this peasant blouse is too long when worn untucked, but the skirt is a little bit big in the waist, and I needed to cover that. It was good enough for a stoopid-busy day, including nearly 2 hours of overtime.

 A very happy "love it!" verdict on this skirt from me. I like how it dips up at the sides - it gives it very nice swoosh when walking around. Swoosh Factor 8, I'd say!

I will try to wear this skirt again before it gets packed away for fall in a few weeks. That's how it goes! Some things only get worn a time or two before the season's over. I'll have forgotten all about it when I unpack it at the end of March - it'll be a nice surprise!

The stuff:

 Again, weird dark light at 6:45pm. I love these shoes - they are probably my most worn non-weekend shoe of this past 6 months. A good purchase. I like that they read as both pink and peach, depending on what you wear with them.

Glittery bling:

Trying to distract myself with sparkle. Didn't really work, but I was reminded how much I like these earrings.

• Bracelet - Lia Sophia, thrifted
• Earrings - vintage stall
• Ring - consignment
