What? No one told me you had to make more than one post!

Hello!
I have to admit,  dear bloggers, had I known that a blog was more than a singular post, I probably would not have started this BUT there's no going back now. The folks who run the google have tigers on to your scent if you try to run away from the blogging commitment. It's like that movie.... You've Got Mail.

Now. What was I going to say next? Right. Transition phrases!
Ok so, summer is now upon us. For some of you who do not live where I live -as I've recently found out that's possible- summer has been going on for quite some time. For us here, in St. John's, summer has a pretend phase. It pretends it's of age, comes out for a few drinks, but then realizes it doesn't really like the kids who are drinking so goes back to it's parents basement until it's legal and it's the proper time for clubbing.....

... that metaphor kind of got away from me. The point is one day we had dandelions.
Now now now.... before you get all excited, all hot and bothered, all pumped up, dandelions are not lions wearing top hats or lions at all for that matter. I know, I know, I was surprised too!
But as I've recently learned- in addition to learning that people live other places than I do- is that just because it's not a lion doesn't mean it's not fun.





Dandelions are approximately one vertical Cait in height! Very scientific of me!  




You say it t-shirt!


Oh yes! Bring me my grapes that I may eat lying down.

also, I am wearing:
T-shirt: 6 Dollar Shirts
Skirt: This tiny shop in Montreal that sells everything for 8 bucks
Tights: Forever 21
Shoes: Spring 

This is one of my favourite outfits of late. It makes me feel other worldly... or perhaps even parallel universely! In that universe everyone is just slightly more flowy. I bet Captain Kirk would make out with that!.... This skirt is amazeballs by itself, I can wear it with almost anything and love it. One of the best things about it is that I can pair it up with this t-shirt. I have a tendency to buy shirts, like this one, that have awesome things written on them but then once their stuffed into my closest I have no idea what to wear them with. This one is good already because it's such a lovely shade of pink but often my collection of wicked shirts are slightly manly or just unisex. High waisted skirts have become my solution to this problem and I find they definitely add to any awesome t-shirt.  This high waisted skirt and tee combo  has the bonus of drawing Captain Kirk in with its magical flowiness, while at the same time letting him know that "he ain't gettin' NUN". 

Well dear bloggers, that's all for this evening. But I hope this post has inspired you to question yourself what outfits may solicit advances from fictional characters from 60 year old science fiction. (It is the year 2000!)

Au Revoir Mes Amis!

Let's Get This Go On The Blog


Hello! Guten Tag! Bonjour! Hola! Shalom! Ciao! And any other translations you'd like me to google! Although I seriously hope you don't need me to speak any language other than the ones I've listed. Most likely I'll just keep to speaking in English. Or poor French. But that's only after you've got a few cocktails in me. You know what Dorothy Parker said: "I like to have a martini, two at the very most. After three I'm under the table, after four I'm writing my amateur blog in broken French!"
Har har! Seriously though, I hope you readers haven't left yet! I need you. Otherwise it's just me and my cat over here!
That me is Caitlin by the way! You can call me… Caitlin. I'm starting this blog because I've been reading some style blogs and my extremely attractive and brilliant friend Sarah K. has encouraged me to start one of my own. Her blog is great and if you think this is one here is ok, I guarantee you this is like crap compared to hers.
Maybe I shouldn't have said that so early on in my blogging career. Oh well. No backsies!
So what are we (me and my cat) all doing here? Well I'll tell you Mr. Whiskers!
This is a style bloggerino. Meaning I'm going to take photos of things I wear and then talk about it. But here's the cherry on top: I'll be in the photos wearing the clothes! (And the crowd goes wild)
My style is a little bit of everything so if you like the idea of 31 flavours taking shape in items of moderately price clothing stick around kids!
Maybe I'll just get to photos before even Mr. Whiskers leaves.

So this is moi!



Just casually chillin' on a bridge, as is usual in my average day.


Hello, Sir!





Don't worry if you can't find me in this one, Mr. Whiskers! It's just a shot of the beautiful creek itself!


Shoesies!




Blazer- Material Girl fr. The Bay 
Dress- Monki- gift fr. my lovely brother! 
Shoes- D fr. Shoe Warehouse

It was a nice sunny day, which is rare over here ( St. John's, Newfoundland- bee tee dub) so I thought I'd wear something that reflected the not yet fully summer, but bright, day. This outfit represents a conflict of ideals in some ways... well one way.... My wonderful older brother bought me this dress while he was wandering 'round Europe. He was also with me when I bought this blazer- he was not so much a fan of it. So this will be called my Kyle love/hate outfit. Are you writing this down Mr. Whiskers?

I absolutely love all the pieces in this outfit, unlike my brother. This shoes were a great deal and fairly comfortable for the fact that they turn me from "slightly above average height" to "amazonian." The blazer really is like the weather right now- it's in between seasons. It's a transition piece that I'm loving right now. It turns my winter depressing darks into spring forwards. And my spring forwards into winter darks! Well... not really... BUT I do feel like it turns my sun dresses into sunset dresses perhaps making it more spring appropriate? But what do I know... it's not like I'm writing a style blog or anything....

Point is.... what's the point again?.... Oh right! Point is I love how comfortable and spring-y this outfit is! And it doesn't hurt that it shows a bit o' leg either! Hello taxi drivers!

Well I'll leave you with perhaps a more suitable (and accurate) quote from Dorothy Parker:
"If you wear a short enough skirt, the party will come to you."
