The other way around

I don't know why, but I've been wearing a lot more dark colours now that it's starting to warm up over here. What can I say? I'm like a salmon... going against the flow. :D

Old dress I sewed with Vans slip ons
Wore it with the coat I also sewed (which I just wore in the last blog post)
As a side note, I was just at Eaton Centre the other day and discovered that a stand-alone NYX store just opened there! I was so excited I forgot to take pics, but here's the small haul:
NYX Tinted Brow Mascara in Espresso and Ombre Lip Duo in Cinnamon and Spice
Dropped by Urban Outfitters, and got a small haul there was well:
Tony Moly sheet mask to try and a Calvin Klein sports bra on sale...woot!
Do you guys wear dark colours too in the warmer weather? And any hauls lately?

I have always favour darker shades than lighter ones...but my reasoning is they give the illusion that I am slimmer than I really am. Sigh, now that I am 37....these damn kgs are not dropping off as fast as they used to.

It was in the mid 80's in NYC today and I wore black haha. I choose what to wear by piece rather than by color most of the time.

I prefer darker clothes. I always end up buying gray or black clothing. It makes me feel slimmer. Love your outfit.

I tend to wear pretty much all colours regardless of season, so I am fine with darker colours. That old dress looks great on you Emmy, and quite a versatile piece. x

I wear dark colors FOR ALWAYS. I love white but I'm too messy for light colors ;) Love your dress, jealous of your haul.

How is Nyx? I can shop online, now more and more brands are found in Finland & online. I'm on a saving mode now, but Nyx is on the list, I know they are not super expensive? I seem to remember some butter gloss or something, that everybody was raving about.

I love your description of being a salmon :D
I also wear dark colours in summer, not exclusively, but why should I stop in summer? I probably wouldn't choose a black t-shirt when going for a hike in July or so, but in everyday life, no problem!

My favourite colour, although it's not officially a colour, is black. I wear it all year, even when I'm in Arizona in July! Ha.

I definitely wear black all year round! It's classic and always looks good! We don't have a NYX store! Probably good for my wallet :D I can only get it at Ulta.

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
