#ootd

i know i've been very fitness/whole 30/running orientated lately on this here little blog...yada yada yada right? ;) i hope it interests some people as it's becoming a bigger part of my life. people change ya know? & for me this is definitely a really good thing. great even.

however i still wear clothes...(imagine!) & so far this spring i've been wearing a ton of elastic waistband pants...yuuuup, it's happening & i've never been so damn comfy.

this outfit was definitely a step out of my comfort zone, sorta 

a/ there's colour in those camo pants (shocking!) b/ i'm wearing a pattern & several textures; pony hair flats, denim, wool, beads...crazy!)

beaded tank - F21

camo pants - american eagle

jean jacket - thrifted in high school (bluenotes though believe it or not!)

bowler - brixton

necklace - pyrrha

flats - alvin by sam edelman

knit tank - H&M

jacket - H&M (best $20 sale score!)

harem pants - skirt (local shop, also a $20 score!)

boots - grizz by steve madden (last fall)

necklaces - black&bronze

what are you guys obsessing over for spring? other than my ripped boyfriend jeans that i can really only wear in spring/summer (too cold for winter) i'm pretty tired of most of my jeans...i mean, sort of. i'll never tire of good denim but i'm really stoked that comfy loungewear type pants are 'in' right now because well, they're comfy as all hell & if i can get away with wearing them in public & them to be considered fashionable, i'll take it.

on other note// lately i've also been super obsessed with watching cover's on youtube from the bbc radio 'live lounge' i don't know what it is about covers, i freaking love them...especially pop songs sang slowly by someone like bastille or ben howard.

outfit post & updates

my favourite outfits consist of a fave t-shirt, wicked jeans, a great pair of boots & accessories, which you should know by now if you've been here awhile. if you're new, hi! i'm carly, i wear lot's of jeans & tees & when it comes to accessories, the more the merrier. 

this day (sunday) i was wearing...

t-shirt - zara

jeans - lola's room

boots - sam edelman circus from my work, save our soles 

necklaces - black & bronze & pyrrha 

i wore this the other day after getting new chuck taylors from my work (for the newbies, i work at a wicked independent shoe store that sells a lot of awesome brands) 

denim button down - wal-mart (for like 20$ the best!)

pants - H&M

shoes - converse
necklace - lissa bowie

last night was lovely, i went out with the managers of the shops after work (consisting of mikey, who's my bf & jess & B who are two of my besties...silly to even call them co-workers because they're so much more than that) for some wine, cheese & meats to one of the coziest places in peterborough. in conclusion, my job rules & my bosses are two of the raddest people i know!! afterwards mikey & i met up with our good pal russ who had been in europe for 2 weeks. we sat at our favourite bar, drank beers & heard amazing tales of his travels (in conclusion, man oh MAN do i ever want to go to amsterdam & berlin!!)

today i have the day off & am meeting up with my mum for some hangouts. it's only been a few weeks since i've seen my parents but sometimes that feels like forever when you need a hug. sappy but true.

happy wednesday!! 

tell me something nice about your day.

( wearing lately )

today is my day off & therefore this is my day off outfit, heck who am i kidding, i wear jeans & a tee almost everyday so this is just a general outfit for me. these are my basics though...

tee - american apparel (i've had since high school & would be heart broken if i ever lost)

jeans - levis (picked them up in a clothing swap this week & am stoked on them, thanks els!)

necklace - pyrrha (from my mister, this never comes off)

tee - vintage via sympathy for the rebel (love!)

pants - volcom (best high waisted, cropped jeans)

flats - sam edelman (the only flats you'll find me wearing)

bag - stash co (favourite tote, fits all my shit!)

& today i did this shellac manicure on myself, which i had been dying to try since i first saw it but needed my nails to be long enough. i'm kind of obsessed with it.

i had the day off yesterday & had big plans all week for it, go for a nice long run, do some laundry, get groceries, and then my foot started hurting a few days ago. the side of my foot, by the bone beside my big toe/underneath and i could barely step on it. i don't know what caused it...wondering if the wedges i wore to a wedding over the weekend/on tuesday pulled something as i don't normally wear heels...or the fact that i was working for 13hrs on my feet yesterday?? no idea...but it hurts!! anyway, instead my day off was spent drinking coffee, reading blogs & dreaming up new tattoo ideas so i guess that wasn't too awful ;)
