Colorful Crayons
And here's a little something I think we could all learn from...
Vancouver: Home of the Stretchy Pants?
Okay, I have to admit - born and raised in beautiful British Columbia and really living and breathing West Coast culture can blind you from unseemingly style blunders.
Home of the bum-hugging stretchy yoga pants, I really wasn't too shocked to learn that Vancouver was near the top of the Worst Dressed Cities in the World (MSN) list. It's sad, but true. We don't see anything wrong with going out for a coffee with friends whilst sporting yoga pants - while in other cities, they're wearing casual blouses, cute crops and printed flats.
Although, I think as we grow older we mature in our dressing as well - now dressing more situationally specific than for comfort (plus, who says you can't have comfort AND style, right?). I'll admit, I used to fall victim to this before I knew better.
There's a time and place for stretchy yoga pants - at the gym, at yoga/pilates, or while on a run. But beyond that, there are always other options. Just sayin'.
What's in Stacy's Closet?
If you know me at all, you'll know that I have this crazy love for TLC's What Not to Wear. Not only do Stacy and Clinton crack me up coining phrases/words like "slut-astic" and "trashbag slut" and "what are you going for? hooker or pimp?" (I really could go on and on), but Stacy always look so amazing! Really!
So I'm counting my lucky stars that I happened to stumble upon "What's in Stacy's Closet?" tool on the What Not to Wear website - not only do they have pictures of everything that Stacy wore, but they have links if you want to buy it for yourself!
Tick tock...
It's almost time.
Time for what, you ask?
Time to pack up my entire life (it's half packed already!) and move to the other side of the country. It's starting to feel WAY more real now! We've ordered our wedding bands, we've started to buy furniture to turn his bachelor pad into a home (all he had was an awesome TV and TV stand - typical boy!), we're acting more responsible with our money (Crazy, right?)...
There are so many milestones in life that you don't really think much about until you're there:
- Graduating from diapers (although, I suppose YOU technically don't realize when this happens)
- Starting school
- Starting high school
- First kiss
- Graduating high school
- Starting post secondary
- Turning 19
- Getting a degree
- Buying a car
- Starting a real grown-up job
- Buying a home
- Getting MARRIED!!
- Having your own kids
Wow - when I put it like that, it's almost time for the full circle to close!! Eeeeeep!!
