#ihaveyourfashionback


Well it certainly has been a while.  So much has happened since I last updated my blog.  I lost my mind but recovered it while on vacation in San Francisco after a really long vacation drought.  I changed jobs and am now all of a block away from my last job.

I miss seeing my co-workers every day but I don't let too much time go by without reaching out (stalking) them.  I like to think I'm unforgettable :).  You guys were so supportive through the tough times and the good times and I am always here for you anytime.

I have gone from working in a very open environment to having an office, from being the office clerk to working with two other clerks (in the same office!!).  I have gone from knowing everyone to knowing a bunch of people.  I am having a bit of a hard time not feeling guilty about leaving before 5:30 but I will continue to valiantly do it until there is no more guilt.  It has been really great coming to a new place and knowing so many people from the old days.   I do think that they should drop by for a visit more often though.  Hmm, maybe if I put out a bowl of candy.....

So, today's fashion tidbit:  Ladies, I'm pretty sure that I have mentioned this before (probably annually) but it bears repeating.  I know that the fashion designers don't line many of our clothes anymore (although this doesn't necessarily make them any cheaper) but that doesn't mean that you don't need to wear a slip.  If you haven't heard of this, a slip is a free standing item of clothing that provides a barrier between your body and the outside world.  Please see illustration below.


You may not realize it when you are at home getting dressed, but when you are standing on the bus near the BIG front window and the sun shines through, well, we can see how much thought you have put into your undergarments that day.  As the old adage says, always wear clean underwear.  Also, get rid of the frayed stuff too.


Even Jennifer Aniston has had her moment but really, how many of us have a body like hers anyways?

I hope that you have found this tip helpful and you will heed my advice.  Below is a link to The Bay where you can find a multitude of great looking slips for any occasion.

Charlie Brown: I guess you were right, Linus. I shouldn't have picked this little tree.

Oh but Charlie Brown you picked a fantastic tree and now my office looks so Christmas-y.  I could use a pair of gold sparkly shoes just like that one too. My day is going to be interesting I'm sure.  I got up late and, thinking I had an eye doctor's appointment today, drove in and was quite thrilled that I was only 15 minutes late getting in.  Turns out that the appointment is next Monday.  Now I get to pay $20 for parking for no reason.  Sigh... I got on the elevator with a woman this morning who had a Guitar Hero box and chocolates and cookies.  I told her that this looked like the best way to start a week and she agreed.  I wonder if I could convince the powers to be here that we should also have a "band day".  I could totally be a back up singer. After a fabulous wearing shorts bike-run yesterday with Jonathan, I was making dinner and went to open the oven door to check on the delicious chicken that was cooking and the door handl...

Do birds yawn?

That is my question of the day.  I saw a seagull standing on the Rideau Canal wall this morning and it looked like he was yawning.  Now I'm curious. I forgot to show you the shoes I wore yesterday.  It was a fabulous shoe day.  After an initial crack (and even I was a tad worried for a moment) my foot settled into the shoe and was quite happy for the entire day.  We won't discuss how it felt last night....that's a secret between me and my Advil. Like the shoes say "my feet looked fabulous". Today's shoes are a favourite from our last Pointe Clair shopping adventure. You just have to love living in Canada.  The weather was so different this morning than it was yesterday.  Yesterday I was sweating 15 minutes into my ride to work and this morning it felt like there were icicles on my fingers.  Lovely for biking though.  So many pretty sights to see this morning as well.  Seeing the hot air balloon in the sunrise was so pret...

Oh but I want these.

The boss is back from the UK today.  I wonder if he brought me back these gorgeous shoes?   I think I deserve them since it was my 6 month anniversary here on Monday, I'm a loyal, hardworking (most of the time), fun, friendly, engaging, reliable, fashionable....well, obviously I could go on but I'll stop...employee.  Maybe I should have put that in an email and sent it to him before he left London. Yesterday I followed a woman to the bus stop and I marvelled at how she seemed to be walking while trying to keep something between her knees.  Had to be that because why would you take such tiny little steps in life if not for that.  Is that a new inner thigh workout.  Maybe I should try it because mine could certainly use some toning.  Plus, really, it would take her a week to walk a block.  On top of that she had on a skirt that went to her ankles (so you couldn't actually see if there was something between her knees) and the pointiest...
