Slouchy sweater

Sometimes my blog photos start off unplanned. I'll get to work in some random outfit, and Nini will insist that it's is cute and I should take some pictures. her for that! I'd been fighting a bad cold (ugh sick AGAIN!) the week after Easter, which coincided with us getting absolutely slammed at work. So I trudged through, coming wrapped in big cozy sweaters every day and toting a steaming mug of tea. Two of my coworkers powered through fevers, so I can't even say I had it the worst. Anyways, Nini and I nipped downstairs for photos mid-afternoon on Friday and you I think you can read the weariness on my face as we came into the home stretch before the weekend. Oh glorious weekend. (And yes we do get sick days and barring circumstances like these, my coworkers and I do take them!).

  3. You're definitely not the only person who has turned up to work out of a sense of responsability in spite of being under the weather - sometimes it just has to be done. At least you can wear comfortable clothes to the office to make it a bit easier :) I'm loving your boots and slouchy cardi!
    xox,
    Cee
    PS: I meant to tell you, I really do wear heels almost all the time - my weekday go-to is usually a 2.5 inch heel, but on the weekend, when I'm not in a rush, I walk around in very tall shoes :) I'm petite, and I really wish I was about 5'6". Heels are the only way I can get there!

    1. You have managed to impress me even more Cee! I walk to work and back when I can so heels aren't an option; I've usually got the dorky sneakers/snowboots-with-dress-clothes thing going on because nothing else offers as good support or protection from the elements which sadly you can't get around in Ottawa. But when I get into work I love me some heels!

  6. Yeah, sometimes you have to just get stuff done. I always hated calling into work sick but it's never much fun. You do look gorgeous in these photos, I would have never guessed that you were sick at the time! This cardigan is stunning, I really like the creamy white and how it works with your shirt, its striking and very soft looking at the same time. (And those boots give it a sassy little edge!)
