Valentine’s Day in August

pink sweater, white dress, red shoesPeople often have Christmas in July parties but no other holiday really evokes the same feeling out of people that makes them want to celebrate twice a year. But when I put together this outfit I immediately thought it was Valentine’s day appropriate with the pink, white and red colour combination.

pink sweater, white eyelet dress, red shoesYou won’t catch me smiling in today’s post because I was actually quite annoyed when doing these photos. In an attempt to take outfit pictures in a pretty location instead of my back alley way all the time I had traveled over to Brookfield place. They have this great art installation with large fluffy clouds hanging from the ceiling and the facade of a turn of the century (or older) building built into the indoor pedestrian area. I thought it would make a fantastic place to shoot. I mean people take their wedding photos there. But I had barely set up and the security guard is telling me that I am not allowed to take photos there because I am using a tripod. Say WHAAAT? He said the management is worried about the floor. Which is the silliest rule ever because my tripod has rubber on the base. Still I was able to salvage the trip by going outside in this lovely courtyard. Hashtag stupid rule.

Still I had a lovely walk (even through my shoes were killing my feet to the point I bought a new pair of Birkenstocks) in the downtown core of Toronto which I don’t really venture into much because well, I don’t work in banking or at any of the companies that have their offices around Bay Street.

pink sweater, white dress, red flatsI am really loving this white eyelet dress. Probably one of the most worn items in my closet this summer aside from my denim cutoffs. I particularly like pretending it is a skirt with jackets and sweaters layered over top.

I know. I feel bad for the security guard because he thought it was silly too but had to tell me no. And then deal with my attitude. Oh well.
