Dont want to be any body else but me...

It was crazy hot today thus making this outfit im wearing was totally inapproriate for the massive heat wave we faced here in Toronto ....I love these shorts though because they are pretty much the only shorts I can get away with wearing to work while maintaining a business casual look....obviously not with the top im wearing but I like to pair it with a white button down ...I passed by Value Village again because of course, its wednesday so 20% off for students...I picked up a hot black vintage velvet bandage dress ...I LOVE it...just have to wait for the heat to die down to wear it ....
This weekend I need to go through my closet...I will probably be selling many items so I can clear out the old and make room for the new ..and by new, I mean the many new thrifted peices....:P
Wishing you all an awesome mid-week....

Shorts: Winners (last year for $10 on sale I think?)
Shirt: Vintage thrifted
Vest: Vintage
Bag: Vintage Chanel
Shoes: H&M
Sunnies: Ray Ban

Friday is J's graduation.... =) ....I graduated last week and he graduates this week ...so exciting...we both got matching frames to hang up on our walls when we purchase our first home! Show you guys pictures friday hopefully....Saturday I will be busy with my belated bday party ;)

Since you just graduated, do you have any gift ideas for my brothers girlfriend (she is 22)?

I'm sorta stumped on what to buy her. So any ideas or anything you received that would make a nice present?

Sorry for the random question.... lol

Congrats on your grad, as well as your fiance!

Lmao. Windsor got hit with the heat wave too. It`s absolutely ridiculous and unbearable. Like, really unbearable. Today I swear my sunscreen and mascara melted right off. And OMG does Toronto have the city strike too?

L - thanks =) and no he does not go to UofT

Marta- it is, I wont complain!

anon 12:05- I guess it depends how close you are with her...maybe flowers would be a nice gesture, or if you are closer, an item of jewelry? (my mom got me a tiffany necklace...if she is into that...maybe a charm?). If she likes to read, maybe an inspirational book that you can write a sweet congratulatory note in....and always of course, a nice card ;)

sade Jasal- Yea theyre not picking up garbage here either :s....oh jeez, I still remember how bad it was in 2002...hope it dosnt get to that!
especially with this heat..
