Last weekend before Montreal became a sub-arctic nightmare, complete with snowdrifts and life threatening icicles, Mike and I ventured out into the mild, albeit rainy weather to take some blog pictures. This skirt was given to me by Lara who you all were introduced to in my last post, from her Lalouka line on Etsy. I love the thing just about to death and I've been having trouble putting other outfits on since I got it. The velvet fabric is so soft, and the big zipper down the front makes me feel edgy and avant garde.black silk blouse & bowtie: thrifted

Anyway, as we were taking these I tried to climb up on this little stone well we found in the back of the building, but a little old lady popped her head out the door and told us we weren't allowed. I climbed down apologising profusely, feeling like a teenager again, and not in a good way, and then she yelled at me some more for wearing sandals in the winter and not having a coat on (My coat was obviously not very far away, since Montreal mild is nothing even close to being short sleeves weather...)
Anyhow, I felt sort of funny after being scolded by the old lady who worked there, because I usually end up making friends with her type, and I suddenly got nervous they would remember me and shun me if I ever went to visit the inside of the house...which at this point I probably never will. Regardless, Lola had a blast running around outside and not freezing her little belly thanks to the little leather jacket my Grandmother made her for Christmas! And while they probably weren't the most practical for navigating the icy-wet terrain that is Montreal in Winter, those Modcloth sandals really are a dream! The easiest things to walk in I've ever owned. I have a strange feeling they won't leave my feet this Spring and Summer!

I love Lola's jacket. So cute!
these are lovely. I especially like the shoes!
whenever I read your blog I get a longing to visit Montreal! Maybe next year.
Oops. The things we will do for the sake of our blogs. Trespassing and wearing no coats in freezing cold temps. All in the name of fashion, I say!
This is my first time on your blog...Your hair color is fabulous! I love it!

those shoes= amazing. I especially love them with the black tights
awww i can't believe that old lady houted at you about your shoes! haha. you look lovely though
love the outfit! and the fun story. i guess getting yelled at isn't fun, but hearing about it is entertaining :D
It's an awful feeling when you get scolded as though you were a child/teen again..a kind of stomach turning, throat tightening sense of deja vu..for me anyway.
Your outfit is perfect! Love all of it!
Lola is looking snazzy too!
you are braver than brave. i would never, ever, EVER take off my coat in that weather! and naturally you look amazing. but that's a given.
(and i totally know what you mean. i usually get along so well with old people that when they seem to dislike me it's total heartbreak)
that skirt looks wonderful on you! and those sandals are awesome! i love your whole outfit! i always get nervous when someone yells at me too!
i really like your interview in your last post... it was really inspiring because that just what i want to do!
It always makes me so sad when little old ladies don't like me or yell at me. I always want to befriend them and listen to stories about their younger years.
Great outfit, and your dog is adorable!! :D
