It's no secret that I'm a sucker for polka dots and bows. And I wear so much red, black and white that I've been told on numerous occasions by various people that I dress like a "lost member of the White Stripes" (which is fine by me!).
On Saturday, when I was getting ready for a day in Toronto with my boyfriend (plans included the annual Vegetarian Food Fair at Harbourfront Centre, record shopping, squirrel watching and dinner), I put on this polka dot top and jeans. Then, I decided to snazz up the monotony with a red bow pin. I looked outside and it was sunny. I thought, Why don't I dress up this outfit and ditch the jeans? And so I did. (I did eventually have to add a cardigan as the sun departed, and a jacket by nightfall.)

After I finished eating a delicious plate of veggie turkey dinner at the Veggie Food Fair, we stopped by the Harbourfront Centre gift shop before heading over to Criminal Records for some record shopping. I fell in love with a rainbow-striped cocktail ring and just had to buy it. I've since declared that this ring holds my secret and awesome gay superpowers. Obviously.
Here I am posing with the ring, as taken by my boyfriend:
I had a great day overall! I bought the Jenny and Johnny (I'm Having Fun Now) vinyl and a Nightmare Before Christmas wooden calendar (only $3!) from Criminal Records and for dinner we had noodles/soup at Kenzo Ramen. I'm still sad that summer is departing at a quick rate, but this was a Saturday for all Saturdays.
wini, your style is so amazing!I love that outfit :) And you look so pretty in the last picture, you have a lovely smile
ReplyDeleteaw, thank you! <3 i guess i don't smile much in posed/self-taken photos because it seems phony! i'm more likely to smile in other people's photos when it's totally spontaneous and genuine!
ReplyDeleteWini, the rainbow ring seems like a great buy, haha. The bow/polka dot combo always makes me think of you. I love the black skirt - I'm having a hard time finding something similar (ie: not tight, not too loose). And.. I am so jealous of the veg fest there (I hear it's the largest...ever)!! I hope you have veg turkey pics :)
ReplyDeleteah, thanks! =) the skirt is actually too big on the waist (which is ridiculous because it's an XS) and the belt helped hold it up!
ReplyDeletei did take an iphone pic of the veg turkey, but it kinda just looked like beige slop on the plate, haha. so i figured it's best not to post and not gross anyone out! =P
