A Sunday Drive.....

Since we have moved to St. John's, we have started a bit of a habit of going for Sunday Drives. While I thoroughly enjoy these countryside drives, we primary take these drives so that Dominic can search out  potential surf spots. As we are never really sure where we are going, since we sometimes drive a little, sometimes walk a little, and sometimes we even hike a little, I am always unsure of what to wear!! I am however, getting a lot better at learning how to dress for the weather here in St. John's. I have learnt that on any given day, and at any given time it may rain, snow, sleet, hail, be cloudy or sunny etc etc. 

One way to get around this rapid changing weather is to layer, layer, layer - I can't stress that enough. I have been finding all sorts of layering options in my wardrobe - giving me a ton of possibilities. While I have been mostly wearing black and dark colors this winter - the sun on Sunday inspired me to put some color on!!! My entire outfit was actually inspired by the necklace that I am wearing in the photos - I think it looks a bit like a Free People add. Anyways, the necklace is made by my super creative, super talented friend Jordan Zakoor. Make sure to take a good look because I am going to giving a necklace from her collection away later on this week!!

Dominic particularly enjoyed these photos because just behind me is a newly found surf spot, but unfortunately for him it was flat!!

Prairie Wife and Zebra Stripes

When I put this dress on, I felt like a prairie wife who had to settle the land, milk the cows and bake the bread.  Although I do bake my own bread, I am not so sure about the milking the cow part. I must say that I feel a bit out of my comfort zone in this vintage dress. 


Dress: Vintage
Zebra Scarf: Vintage
Belt:Vintage
Tights:???
Slouch Socks: Bought in Peru
Boots: Frye

Although I did put a lot of love and care into this dress, I have to say that I am not 100% sold on it. I bought it last year, however it was waaayyyyyy too big. Seeing some potential in the capped princess sleeves and the amazing wooden buttons, I altered the dress from a size 14 to a size 6. Now that it fits me to a tee, I am not sure that I want it anymore. If anyone out there takes a liking to the dress, let me know and I will send it your way. I guess this will kind of be like my first unofficial give away!!




Cheers,
Karen
