Fabulously Broke in the City

No gross plastic shizz please!

Of course, it is also because I am not in college either, but nevertheless, this is like The Bible Of Fashion from Cornell’s Pi Phi Sorority.

To be frank, I sort of agree with 90% of what they’re posting here. But to actually put it down on paper, is hilarious!

The comments are hilarious and some, quite on point.

“No camel toe.”

“If you are wearing cheapo shoes, make sure they don’t look it”

“No satin dresses. No one looks good in satin dresses unless they are from Betsey Johnson or Dolce & Gabbana, you weigh less than 130 pounds, have spanks [Ed: I think she means "Spanx" the brand] and it’s New Years Eve.”

“No ‘Fuck-me-Pumps’”

“No tacky/cheapo/pleather. Don’t mess with me.”

“I’m weird about shoes, so do it right.

I will be doing dress checks so have your outfits ready for each round…”

“I am also weird about accessories. And I am not saying you have to wear Harry Winston wreath for me to like it, but I am saying I will not tolerate any gross plastic shizzz.”

—————————————————

I do admit to wearing some plastic shizz once in a while, but in my defense, they aren’t neon plastic baubles.

At least they’ll all look presentable. :P

Guys actually notice what you wear

Who woulda thunk it? :P

BF: I wear sweatpants here, but I never used to do that in Europe.

It’s the environment here that makes me dress down.

I don’t have any control over what I wear here.

FB: I don’t believe that. You have a choice in what you wear.

BF: Yeah, but even YOU dress differently in Ontario than you do in Quebec.

You don’t wear sweatpants or sweatshirts there!!

FB: True, but it’s my choice. You said you don’t have control over what you wear.

BF: Okay, what I meant was that the environment influences the way you dress subconsciously or consciously and I cannot control that environment.

FB: Hmm.. good point

Note: I am trying to make an effort, but he doesn’t know that before we went back to Ontario, I didn’t have all my nice things!

I had packed them all away, thinking we were moving.

Now I’m busting them out. Full blast.

What do you think?

Does the environment around you influence the way you dress?

Do you dress differently in different cities or situations?

(Not taking into account what you have to wear to work or special events, those are given)

I’m off to see the Taxman…

Just got a notice in the mail from Quebec saying I didn’t pay the $5600+ I owed them in business taxes?

WHAT!?!?!

I saw that money debited from my account. I want to clear that up, and there’s a small discrepancy of around $12.

Grabbed my comfy white blazer sweater and some basics. Am going to try out my new jeans today ;)

Close up of the jewelery.

I don’t have time to fuss through my collection to find a longer necklace that I think would look better with the top.

*sigh*..

Why don’t retailers make shoes like this with a shorter heel?

Don’t they know that the majority of women out there can’t teeter and totter on 3″+ heels without falling!??!

Saw these beauties while I was trolling up and down Ste-Catherine.

BUKALA RED HEELS

The red is more ruby red in person. Less washed out.

They almost made it home with me (I was THISCLOSE to buying them), until I realized:

  • Where the hell would I wear them? Work? In 3″ heels? ARE YOU MAD, FB?
  • Where could I only stand & sit in them? :P I can barely walk in these, as they are really at the maximum limit of my powers.
  • Why do they cost $135? *sigh* I can’t spend that kind of money on decorative shoes :P

GWBUKALA-DRESU-LF

GWBUKALA-DRESU-LBGWBUKALA-DRESU-ALT2

JHILL GUESS HEELS (Zippered back!!!)

Same with these ones.  They almost made it home on my feet, until I said:

“Nah.. I can’t really see a purpose in buying them, and the L.A.M.B. version was MUCH hotter with the zip at the back.”

GWJHILL-BLKLE-LF

GWJHILL-BLKLE-LB

GWJHILL-BLKLE-ALT2

Why? Because they were so very L.A.M.B. a la Dichen Lachman from Dollhouse

In case you’re wondering, the shoes are by Gwen Stefani, called “Tammy” for $190 (ON SALE) available at Zappos.com in sizes 5.5 or 9.5 only.

You’re (sort of) welcome. :P

This is precisely why I shouldn’t be allowed to surf the internet unsupervised

As you may or may not know, I am a sucker for draped anything.

Cosy, draped, soft and cuddly? SIGN ME UP.

All Saints Clothing! Mostly in the U.K., but they have a store in NYC as far as I can tell.

I Googled reviews on them, and found that their sizes run kind of low, and their stuff looks much better on the website than in person. :\

The style reminds me of Rick Owens. Lots of asymmetry, draping, soft knits, comfy looks and hard rock details..

Anyhoo, the prices prohibit me from even thinking it’s a REAL possibility, but a girl sure likes to dream…

Layla Dress in Dirty Cherry — $305

Draping? A little belt action going on? A great colour? *drool*

dirtycherry

Temperance Cardigan – $175

I have another grey cardigan similar to this, it might be why I am so drawn to it…

Temperance

Afra Cardigan – $175

I hate the colour, but I like the assymetry and the huge pocket on the left.

Afra

Theia Cardigan – $195

Cuddly. Warm. Shawl necked.

Overpriced, really.

Theia

Eisen Leather Jacket – $400

If I could be guaranteed it would look just as good in person as it does online, and fit like a glove…

I would be tempted beyond all sound financial reason to hit the “Add to Cart” button.

Eisen

Love the zippers!

Eisen3

ADORE the buckles!

Eisen2

AHH! Zipper on the BACK of a sleeve?! :D
