I
have to share a secret - soooo much of my wardrobe is either sparkly,
shiny, or metallic. i am just one of those people who is drawn to
anything that glistens.
After
a hectic few weeks, where we were one of the many people affected by
the brissy storm, i didn't really feel like going to my work christmas
party, but as someone kindly pointed out to me, i could be just feeling
meh at home, or feeling meh at a party. and you know what, the party
was just was the doctor ordered.
Since
i no longer have any way of sewing new stuff, i resorted to a speed
shopping session and came up with an outfit that was metallic enough for
me to blog about.
I
had been keeping my eye on a little kaftan in west end where i go for
my thai massage, and when i decided to go and see if they were still
available, i didn't have the choice that i wanted, but she did have a
beautiful black one that she sold me for half price cause it had the
teeniest tiniest hole in it.
What's
great about this dress is that it is long, but has a little button on
both the front and back which hooks up inside to the top, thus making it
both short and long. However, when i hooked up the back part, it
showed my butt cheeks, so i quickly decided that it wasn't the look for
me.
So,
as for the speed shopping, i went to Mt Ommany with every intention of
buying a swimsuit for my upcoming camping trip, but as every good speed
shopping woman knows, if there's an opportunity to accessorize, then it
must be taken. and with bargains galore to source, i complemented my
outfit.
After
my speed shopping adventure, where i never intended to buy any bangles,
or earrings or shoes, or a bag, i came home with a pair of shoes, some
great bangles, a small make-up bag that doubled as a purse, some
earrings and i was set.
I
then went onto more speedy things and grabbed some alfoil and a spray
bottle and set about winding strips of foil into my dampened hair in
order to create some wild jungle inspired look, A quick blast with the
hair dryer and voila, i was ready to go, after sliding in some home made
bobby pins which were wired with bells and beads.
shoes from novo
bangles from lovisa (3 bucks each)
gold bag from supre
earrings from dissh
hair accessories made by me
So that's it.... metallic look done.
You always look great, on this occasion, you look greater! Wish I was there to share the party with you, like when you lose a loved one, I will never get over missing you. I just get better at managing it - Muppet face
