Outfit - Nautical

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
-- MARK TWAIN

The Chanel Cruise line combined with the nicer weather has inspired me to dress with a nautical influence.   I chose a dress I picked up at Mango a while back and paired it with a cardigan, some knee high socks (of course) and some comfortable, lower white heels.  Just a quick post; heading to work!

 

In my bedroom!  I hate the carpet so much but my mom insists we keep it.  Sigh!

Bathroom!  Sitting on the floor was basically the only way to get a full outfit shot with my Macbook!

Dress details on the front as well as a close up of my layered necklace :)

More dress details!

Navy blue knee socks and old Le Chateau heels.

Ready to head out the door and go start work at the bar!!  I don't know why I look so grumpy, I'm really not :) :)
Cheers everybody!

Outfit - Boring work days

I bartend all weekend which is pretty exciting but sometimes I pick up day shifts which basically means I stand around and serve the occasional customer and watch the band set up for the evening etc.
I got kind of bored and took a few pictures!

 This is me in the bathroom, where I hide out occasionally to avoid conversations with annoying customers.  Taken during my daytime shift on Friday :)

These last two are taken behind the bar.  The flash makes me look like a ghost!  I am definitely pale, but avoiding the sun over the years has made my skin look pretty healthy.  I see girls who fake and baked all through high school and their skin looks like orange leather and they definitely have premature wrinkles!

Same outfit but in the bathroom again.  Bottle opener armed and ready to go!

My bottles!  What drinks are your favourites?  I love making Killer Koolaids they taste like a Jolly Rancher!  Amaretto, melon liqueur, and cranberry juice!

Maybe I should have been Windexing the mirror instead of taking pictures!  I see splotches everywhere ;)

Playing with kittens on a break!  Vintage ring from my Nanna.  Saphire, silver, gold and diamond.

Friday:
Trench - Costa Blanca - 20$
Purse - FCUK - 20$
Jeans - Pepe London
Sweater - Jacob

Saturday:
Pearl necklace with ring on it
Turtle neck - Holt Renfrew - Cashmere
Black skinny jeans - Urban Planet 10$
Boots (both days) - my 40$ knee highs going strong!

Outfit - Blonde-tenders have more fun!

I'm just on my way to work, my bar used to only open on weekends but now we have 29 cent wings on Wednesdays.  I threw on a quick outfit - I don't usually wear white to work, especially when serving wings, but I thought I'd give it a try and threw on a really old white tank top.  I'm inspired by the Chanel fall runway 2010 so I thought I'd bring out a pair of my old fuzzy grey boots to match the simple, jersey cotton skirt.  The socks were super cheap and add a sporty feel, fresh off the spring 2010 runway.  As you can probably tell by now I love gray, black, and white, and KNEE SOCKS!
Sorry about the poor quality pictures, I am on my way to getting a Cannon Rebel as soon as I stack enough cash at the bar!  I'm averaging 30 hours a week lately so that shouldn't be too long at all.

I love bartending!  You get to be at the center of all the fun and make great money, and if you annoy a bartender she can end your fun pretty quickly!  Wish me luck at WING NIGHT TONIGHT!!!  Please don't mind the big hair, I was having a shower and the hot water turned off so I didn't get to use conditioner.  I didn't even bother going at my hair with the straightener!

Boots - Old
Purse - FCUK
Skirt - H&M
Top - American Eagle
Socks - Ardene (3/10$)
Sweater - Mango
