Pink and Blue and Houndstooth Too (and a New 'Do)

Woo, we're nearly at the weekend! This is a long weekend for us here in Canada - it's Family Day! We all get Monday off to spend with our families. Aw, isn't that nice? 

Continuing my informal Valentine Week, I had to wear pink shoes, right? And a pink sweater?

• Mohair sweater - thrifted; last seen here (3rd outfit) in December 2019 for brunch with Simona
• Silk blouse (underneath) - Bird by Juicy Couture, thrifted; last worn here in December 2019 with a giant vest and pants
• Skirt - Tribal, thrifted; last seen here in January when I showed off my amber
• Shoes - Enneagram Individualist, Fluevog; last worn here in January with magenta and black
• Coat (below) - Danier Leather, consignment; last seen here in January on our trip to Powell River

I built the outfit around the shoes, and liked how this pink mohair sweater went with the more intense pink of the shoes.

Layering the blue silk blouse under it picked up the light blue buckle in the shoe.

I looked at black skirts, but I'm glad I went with this houndstooth one.

It showed the shoes off well.

The pink made me feel good.

 As pink does.

Outerwear - did someone say pink?

Oh, right, I did.

• Cashmere beret - Club Monaco, thrifted
• Fur boa - thrifted
• Leather gloves - consignment

The stuff:

I took the matching blue-on-blue ankle strap off this time - I liked it just as much. These are amazingly comfy shoes.

Sparkly bling:

My coworker Jessica said these earrings were "balling". I think that's a good thing.

• Earrings - vintage fair
• Crystal/silver ring - Soul Flower
• Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes

So...I changed up my hair. I've had longer hair for about a year now and I was getting tired of it. If you've been reading my blog for more than a year, you're aware of how frequently I play with my hair.

I'm going to grow out my bangs longer (be prepared for Forehead Creases, next 10 kilometers), and I wanted to change up the length.

I looked up "trendy hairstyles for 2020" and snagged pictures of cuts I liked and textures that appealed to me. I also jotted down key words: "textured, choppy, bob, "lob" (that's a long bob), and "curtain bangs."(aka fringe)

The top four pictures show heavily styled hair (curled with a flat-iron), but with choppy blunt ends, and lots of layers and texture. I have fine hair, but a lot of it, so layered styles work well on me without weighing it down. The bottom two pictures show "curtain bangs", which is longer bangs that are parted in the middle and then tucked behind the ears - it looks like a window, right?

This is fresh from the Sofia's chair, post-beret, bus ride and walk in the spitty rain, so kind of a mess.

 I'll style it up properly myself in the morning. Anyway, there's the new 'do for you.

And here's my little boo.

"All my love to my fans."

We both wish you a very Happy Valentine's Day tomorrow - be kind to yourself first! 

And don't forget the chocolate!

I'll be back on Monday with tales of the adventure! Happy weekend, everyone!
