Clementine suggested the theme of Tourist, and seeing as it’s been such nice weather lately, I didn’t want to pass up a photo opportunity with the sun. So today this blog goes SUPER DUPER un-politically correct (now with added stereotypes!) …and just when you thought I couldn’t get any cooler *cough* Blossom hat *cough*, I tell you…

Day 18: Cinderella
When I was a little girl, my mother had this puffy baby blue gown that I used to always dream of fitting into. Now that I can, I wouldn’t dream of wearing it anywhere other than for a costume. And with that, I bring you today’s theme: Cinderella. The dress may not be fashionable by…
Day 17: Bastille Day
La Fête Nationale! (Happy Bastille Day! – thanks Google translate) The national holiday of France. As you can see, I’ve gone with a generic stereotypical French man look for this festive day. The pièce de résistance being the raspberry beret (the kind that you get from a second-hand store) that was purchased in France (but not from…
Day 16: Blossom
If you were a young girl growing up in the 90’s there is an 85% chance that you owned a Blossom hat. From that 85%, there is a remarkably lower percent that still owns said hat, of whom I am a part of. And with that I bring you today’s theme: Blossom. Please note: Both…
Day 15: Orangeman’s Day
WARNING: User is asked to wear sunglasses for the reading of this blog post July 12th is known as Orangeman’s Day, so I’ve gone out on a stretch and dressed in all orange. I think the universe appreciated this as you will see from the photos that the overcast weather only helped my orange POP. I’ve worn a…
Day 14: Librarian
I’ve hit the two-week mark and I’m not over it yet – YAY! Only 24 fortnights to go (doesn’t sound too hard when you put it like that) Now let’s get better acquainted….with the dewy decimal system and today’s theme: librarian. So rather than go for a modern librarian – SNORE – I’ve opted for a…
Day 13: OutKast
As submitted by P.Diddy I have taken on the theme of OutKast. My inspiration, the Hey Ya film clip. If you hadn’t guessed it already I’m the back-up singers in the jockey gear. Please note that until this point I have not purchased any item for any of the themes addressed so far (I am both ashamed and proud of…
Day 12: Gleek
Glee + Geek = Gleek. Today I’ve taken my inspiration from the preppy character Blaine from Glee (but with more sequins) to put together this gleeky outfit. If you hadn’t noticed already, I like shiny. Photo Credit: Wayne Gretski Glasses: REAL prescription Calvin Klein White Button Shirt: Temp Black Bow Tie: Big W…
Day 11: Hobo
As submitted by Stephanie F. I have taken on the theme Hobo today. My inspiration, Derelicte in Zoolander. I’ve got to admit, this is my best work so far, and to think, I made this outfit in 10 minutes using 4 garbage bags, cray. If you think I couldn’t go out partying in this, then you can dere-lick…
Day 10: Harajuku
Harajuku is just plain fun. It’s basically pretending you’re 7 and given the chance to dress yourself. And yes, I’ve used two colours for my lipstick.
