Wearing this jacket with a mask makes me feel like Lisbeth from Girl With A Dragon Tattoo (minus the hacking skills and other talents) and I'm here for it! :D
It's been raining like crazy where I am, which is good I guess considering how hot it has been lately.
Tommy Hilfiger jacket, old dress I sewed, Adidas sneakers
I love that! And the mask is seriously fantastic. What a cute print! I'm also feeling grateful for the rain because the heat has just been so intense lately! I hope you have a fantastic week. the creation of beauty is art.
I love the darker kind of look this creates then I scrolled to the end and saw ti was a betty boop mask - good way to make something cute and fun a bit darker! I like the feel of these pics! :)
Masks have been recommended (although not required) by one of our grocery store chains here after some stupid ladies brought the virus with them from another state with an outbreak and lied about where they had been to avoid quarantine. And then continued to go out and see people and visit places even after they got tested....hopefully it continues to be a low number of cases they introduce here, it's at 5 right now. that's more than we have had outside of mandatory quarantine for returning travellers in months though! But it means I wore a mask to the supermarket last week - it's a strange feeling but I'm happy to do it to keep myself and others safe!
Yeah I get where you're going but I don't find you sinister at all just because I know what a sweetheart you are <3 Loving the outfits and how the mask contrasts with your cool pastel hair! The rain is coming for us tomorrow.
Hubby, myself and the little one decided to go to Fairview Mall today while the boys were in school. What was happening there, you might ask? Why...the opening day of Express , of course. To be honest, I thought they had already opened. It was just perfect timing, I guess. This is their first store in Canada, and I'm really glad they picked Fairview coz it's very accessible where I live:P I've shopped in Express before, specifically the one in Buffalo (New York) and I really like their stuff. They always have a great collection season after season, and the prices are mostly reasonable. Here are some pics I took with the phone. Really love their sequined jackets! The layout is pretty good and the store size is quite substantial. The fall collection is TDF. I didn't take a pic of this killer red suit that they have, but trust me when I say it is very very nice. I would have gotten it, but it really would have just sat in my closet, and it was out of my budg...
I've been having a hard time getting motivated to post anything at all these days. I've deleted X on my phone, and am on Bluesky now, but even then, I don't really post much there. (I've stopped posting on Instagram and Facebook years ago, and don't have a TikTok/) Even having a hard time posting consistently on my Art YouTube channel. I do have a small Catholic YouTube channel, and another small "fish" channel (and I use that term lightly coz I mostly post random stuff about our shubunkin goldfishes), but even then, these days, I just want to go "off the grid" :( That is all.
I mentioned in this post how I've been trying to revamp my wardrobe because of how much I loved Song Hye Kyo's clothes in the show The Glory (thank you to my blogger friend Rowena again for recommending this show!) Slowly....slowly....I am trying. I will probably never get rid completely of all my colourful and worn clothes, but it's really been a game changer changing my style. Here's the new addition to my closet, inspired by SHK. I've been looking for a black coat for awhile and finally found it! Zara oversized coat LOLZ....excuse the RBF. This was me trying it in the store before buying. Was really debating as I'm trying not to spend so much, but this coat was reasonably priced, and it the last of my size! What's a girl to do? Who has been your style inspo lately?
