Life's a Circus

Photobucket
Oh hey there. It's monday yet again, but that's okay because it brings us that much closer to the weekend (& my birthday). I have lots of stuff going on this week and it's going to be nice to be busy with fun things and work.
This is what I wore friday on my brother and I's adventure to Value Village. It was realllly hot on friday(27 degrees celcius), and even hotter in my little black car that lacks air conditioning. So lightweight clothes were definitely needed. I have had this top since high school, it's 5 years old but it's one of those things I can't seem to get rid of because I really like it. The really colourful plaid makes me really happy and is so summery. I decided to print mix it with this white/gray striped skirt, keeping everything else neutral in black. I don't know why, but it made me feel like I was part of a circus (in a good way). And even in the sweltering heat I felt comfortable and summery!

ps. Sorry for the visible bra stra/top

  1. I love the juxtaposed stripes! Very pretty. Your top is only 5 years old? I still have clothes from the 1990's hanging in my closet! lol So you're doing okay ; )

  2. I love the fun mixture of patterns and the bright summer colors! If I still was the size I used to be five years ago I'd totally be wearing those clothes, still.
