Shoes: Naturalizer (similar Naturalizer option) {also old - bought in 2006 while I was in teacher’s college - I thought they looked professional so I picked them up to wear for my teaching placements. For those who have asked about my job - I am a certified teacher, but I do not teach, nor do I plan to teach. The career outlook for teachers in the Ottawa area is poor. Too many teachers, not enough students. I have friends who have worked supply, mat leaves, etc for 5 years and still don’t have a full time job. After my undergrad, I didn’t want to be done school, so I figured teacher’s college was a low-risk venture that only took one additional year. I met some great people, learned how to effectively present information, as well as some great tactics to deal with my unruly kids…tactics that I didn’t employ this weekend when I yelled at some random kids that were making little effort to catch their dog who was running wild near a busy road. I could write a HUGE rant about that situation with some not-so-nice words but I will spare you the tirade. One thing that teacher’s college didn’t teach me was patience for ignorance…}

A little bit of purple to brighten up a Friday :)
For whatever reason, I have been really drawn to menswear-inspired outfits recently. Something about cooler weather and shorter days {sad!} has me feeling a little more conservative.

I occasionally fall into a style traps - sometimes I do my hair the same way for a few days straight, or wear iterations of the same outfit. Today for instance was yet another navy-on-navy day. Perhaps I am just a creature of habit…

This trench coat reminds me of the love-hate relationship I have with clothes. At 5’10”, I am often “too tall” to shop for regular women’s clothes, but “too short” to shop in the tall women’s stores (case and point, the sleeves on this coat are too long). I know - there are worse problems…
Not sure why I chose a drab, black-on-black outfit today. It is certainly not the most spring-like choice. Although, the trench is definitely not a “winter coat”, so that must count for some spring-time points? Right?
