Slacker in Stripes

I've been slacking a bit with my Dress-up Days pictures and posts. Only one picture this week, and I think it may be the last for a little while. Been in a bit of a funk, what with a lack of sleep and just not much energy to do a whole lot. So I feel like it's better to focus the energy I do have into being a bit more productive with the projects I have on the go, and being the best mom I can be.

On the positive side, I finally dabbled with my watercolours again after many many months. Felt really good to get back into painting. Have been gradually setting up my studio area in the basement as I need a proper place to do some painting/printing. Will share some photos of it when it's looking a bit snazzier. (You can see a bit of Matt's relocated office in the background. Um, can you say goodbye hideous carpet and walls?)

Dress-up Day - Pink and Black

It seems Wednesday is becoming my designated dress-up day. I really ought to plan ahead with my outfits as it would make my mornings a bit easier. Alas, I had about 5 minutes to throw this look together before it was go go go with Whitney. So it was another casual dress-up day.


At least I'm dressed in one of my favourite colour combos.

Outfit details

corduroy skirt - by Fresh Baked Goods
shirt - American Apparel sheer jersey top
cherry blossom earrings - one of my favourite pairs, by Precious Pink Designs

I meant to wear a little black cardigan too, but in my rush to get to the post office after breakfast, forgot to put it on until much later in the day.

I had a bit of fun with the last photo here.


Still working on a good spot for taking photos, but Matt recently moved his home office from upstairs to the basement, so I'm thinking of converting that room to a huge walk-in closet/dressing room/perfect photography studio.

5 Things I'm Digging These Days

Starting my day with cinnamon raisin toast. Mmm!

Some bubbly in the afternoon.

So You Think You Can Dance twice a week.

Our new shower curtain from The Bay. (Trust me, our bathroom looks better in black and white)


And comfy skirts. (Mine is black, but I thought this photo was cuter)


I'm short on words today...
Have a great weekend! I'll be back on Monday with my first blog giveaway!
