Black & floral

This is my hour, I'm never going to bed.
The sky is still black, but begs to be red.
I just put my book down, but it begs to be read
I'm not nod, I'm not napper, never rest my head.
Some days I feel I'm getting smaller and smaller,
But some nights, I seem to grow taller and taller.
And we keep shrinkin' and shrinkin' but this will not finish.
You're never nothing, if you didn't disappear.
Just when I discovered the meaning of life, they change it.
Just when I'm loving life, it seems to start raining.
I pulled the sail safe switch, sea sail and I'm into the stars.
I love the rain out my skies. The sky's now red, my eyes reflect jets.
Smiling at this blessing, this life is the best.

I came to this world with nothing
And I leave with nothing but love
Everything else is just borrowed 

- EVERYTHING IS BORROWED - THE STREETS

My new job requires me to wear all black, but I never seem to run out of ideas on how to mix blouses and skirts I already own.  The serving pouch requires a belt so I mix and match those too!  All black can get really boring especially in the summer, this may have been my inspiration to purchase a few floral printed items recently.  Summer 2010 is swimming with flowers, and they are a great way to brighten up your wardrobe.  Here are some photos off the runway that really inspired many summer collections found in a store near you.

Here are a few bargains I picked up as well as an outfit on my way to work!

New floral dresses and skirt

Dresses, 10$ each, Suzy Shier
Skirt, 5$, Urban Planet

And now for a quick outfit: me on my way to work.  I have done a lot of shopping and I have a week off soon to go to Calgary and relax so expect lots of photos when I am not so busy!

Some simple accessories.  The necklace is diamond and was a gift from my mother!  You can see my biggest harp in a couple of the photos.


Black lace skirt, Guess
Nude pumps, Zara
Nude bag, Steve Madden
Blouse, old from when I was 16 and worked at Starbucks!

Have a great weekend everyone!

  1. I love the Dennis Basso florals. I used to work at B&Q [DIY store] and had to wear a uniform of black polo shirt, black combat trousers and a bright orange apron, so I know how you feel about the all black uniform.

  4. omG, those Dennis Basso prints are fabulous!!!
    And don't worry about the all-black, like you said, it's those small accessories that make it all better (especially those amazing nude pumps).

  6. Wow. All black. How crushing, especially in summer when cravings for floral and pastels kick in.. Just explode with colours on weekends and you'll be fine, you've got the right idea :)
    It would be mine
