Outfit: Pastel Palette

Here's my Pastel inspired outfit for Spring. Trying to put this outfit together made me realize that I really don't even own any pastel/light colours besides these. I guess that means I need to add this to my list for Spring buys. It's always a good idea to look through your stuff from last season to check what you have and dust off those forgotten pieces before going shopping for new items. You never know what you may find; I forgot I even owned these white linen pants! Slowly start incorporating some Spring-like items such as bright scarves and lighter sweaters to start the fun transition of seasons. I was a little too eager with the white pants though, I trotted through some mud and got some on the hem. Guess I'll have to wait until it dries up a bit to start wearing these bad-boys out.

Free at Last: 30/30

After many long weeks of this 30 for 30 challenge, the end is finally here! I wasn't actually trying to create a cohesive look on this last one, the plan was to just try and pile on as many layers as possible, but I ended up stopping at 4 tops. I think that's enough don't you? I hope you have enjoyed this challenge! I have learned a lot and my style has definitely evolved since I started. I hope to continue posting weekly outfits for you but for now I need a break! Thank you to all of my new followers for joining in on the fun and I hope you continue to be inspired. Thanks for those of you who left me sweet birthday wishes! I have had  a wonderfully busy weekend full of celebrations.

Woo Hoo: 29/30

Today is one step closer to the FINALE of this 30 for 30 challenge! Woo Hoo! If you read my previous post, you will know that the weather has been absolutely horrendous, and therefore outdoor photos have been difficult. I was one step away from that fabulous muddy yard (where I always take my photos) and then I glanced over at this bench. It was sitting so perfectly in front of all these old junction boxes just begging me to take pictures on it.  I know the background can be distracting, so I tried to play it down a little by using a B&W flare. The colour is off because the lighting was terrible in the barn, plus there was absolutely no sign of sunlight today. Just try to focus on the clothes people, not my ghostly white face. Oh, and I almost forgot, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY today! What a great way to start the weekend! Have a good one!

Nothing Clever: 28/30

I have nothing clever left to offer you, so I threw on some red and a cute umbrella. It was a horrible day yesterday and I couldn't take pictures so I had to take them today after work in the rain. As you can see, the mud is gross and the day is dreary, that pretty much sums up my day in a nutshell.

Dirt Diggin': 27/30

I didn't realize at the time how much snow had already been destroyed by my brother on the snowmobile. So today, you get to see me kicking it in the field with the lovely dirt as a backdrop. The sun was setting ever so quickly so I had to go where there was as much light as possible; the middle of the field. I was happy that I chose lots of layers for this outfit to keep me warm today. We just can't seem to catch a break with the weather lately, and apparently there's more to come. Yipee. Can you feel the excitement... yea me neither.
I was very lazy for today's photos which is why I'm wearing sunglasses (so I didn't have to do my makeup) and why my nail polish does not match my outfit what-so-ever (way to much work to take it off). I am pushing to the end of this challenge with as much enthusiasm as I can, but truly will not miss these daily outfit photoshoots. Congrats to all those who have finished!

Repeat offender: 26/30

So I know I'm wearing the same tights as yesterday. Please forgive me, but I had to shoot 2 outfits last night before the sun was gone.  And I'm sorry that I look like a total b*tch in these pictures. I'm really not, I promise. The combination of cold temperatures and trying to get these pictures done asap meant no smiling aloud (except the 2nd shot). Either that or this red lipstick has some sort of drug in it that just makes you feel fierce and you want to walk around with a slight grimace while wearing it... I'll opt for option one. Just to share a tid-bit of my life with you lovely people, I have been digging Colbie Caillatt so much lately and I'm wishing I had a sweet sultry voice like hers. All you raspy voice ladies out there, I'm jealous. Raspy voice + red lipstick would be one hot chick!

Happy Monday: 25/30

I'm sorry for the delayed post today. I had a busy weekend and majority of yesterday was spent recovering and relaxing, therefore no outfit pictures. I am excited that this challenge is drawing near the end. It has been fun, but definitely challenging! Hence the word challenge...yea, anyway. I had a surprisingly good Monday, which is usually very unlikely. I hope this is an indication of what the rest of the week is going to be like. What about you?

Congrats to the one I love!

Here's a few pictures of my boyfriend's graduation dinner. We didn't exactly take 'outfit' pictures but you get the idea. We had a great night celebrating and got to enjoy a 2 hour drive home in a snowstorm to end the night. Is winter over yet?
Congratulations to my favourite pilot, love you.

Lack there of: 24/30

The number 24 is presented to you today by: Lack of daylight, lack of sleep, and lack of time. I had to go out unexpectedly last night and didn't have time to do proper pictures, so I had to resort to doing them this morning before work. Sorry for the crap quality but that's what you get at 6:55am in Canada. I am actually surprised the sun was out at all yet but thankfully there was just enough light. I have a massive headache and wish I was lying in my cozy bed right now, but that is life after an intense kickboxing assessment last night. It's a day for complaining, didn't you know that?
I have also done the draw for the 3 Thrifty Ladies Giveaway, however for some reason I cannot copy the Random number generator into my blog. Any tips? But, the winner is... Becca Janie!
I have sent you an email so we can get it sent out to you. Congratulations, thanks for entering my very first giveaway!

Ma Boi's: 23/30

I can't believe I forgot to mention it, but it was ma boi (my boy) Justin Bieber's 17th birthday on Tuesday and I want to give my fellow Canadian a Happy Belated Birthday shout-out. Woot woot! (that's my shout out) Speaking of birthdays, mine is coming up in about a week and I am trying to decide what to do. Any ideas? I would really enjoy a trip to NYC for the weekend or something of the sort but I don't think that's going to happen. In other celebratory news, it is my other boy's (BF) graduation banquet this Saturday and I couldn't be more proud! Congratulations to my very own private pilot! Be jealous, he is one hot pilot. I will show you outfit pictures of that on Monday if you are ever so interested. As for this outfit, I was absolutely freezing once again so please try to take that into consideration. To try and counteract the horrid weather I threw on one of my softest scarves, pulled my sweater in tight, and jacked up the socks, but no dice, I was still frozen by the end of this mini-shoot.

Brighten my day : 22/30

I am fresh out of words for you at this moment... nothing worth chatting about has happened in the past few days. I lead a boring life, but I'm working on spicing it up a little by hopefully teaching my own kickboxing class in the future as a part-time job in the evenings. Things are looking up my friends. Pretty much the only excitement I have during the week is reading your wonderful comments, so do me a favour and drop me a line. It'll make my day that much brighter. I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful week so far. I know mine is dragging on forever, but that tends to happen when you have an exciting weekend taunting you in the distance. Hope you're enjoying my 22nd outfit!

I just want to say Hello: 21/30

Although it may not seem like it between all the black, but I was inspired by Spring! I threw on the red accessories and red lipstick and froze my ass off. What do you think about the red lips? I may take them out for a special night on Saturday to make their debut. I have been drawing some lovely inspiration from some of my favourite blogs: CupcakesandCashmere and Atlantic-Pacific. They both always have such wonderful lip colours. I am out of my challenge rut and on a roll folks! It's amazing how a good lipstick can boost your fashion emotions. Did you notice I changed my part too? I haven't worn my hair like this for about 5 years so it feels so weird. Oh well, here's to change! Cheers.

Lazy daze: 20/30

Another dark snowy day... I am so over this weather and really, really can not wait for this snow to melt and be gone forever! I had to force myself to go outside and take pictures today, and being Sunday, I probably should have taken more but I was  wayyy too lazy. Hence the hair and lack of effort on this one, sorry. I had a wonderfully lazy, relaxing weekend spent with my BF and really wish it didn't have to end. Oh well, back to work.
 
Just realized this is an entirely thrifted outfit, not bad eh?
