Dark Gray Accents Friday, April 18, 2008 12:25 AM

Pink tank (underneath): Sparkle. Plaid dress: H&M. Typewriter key necklace: B*jeweled Vintage. Gray cardigan: American Apparel. Gray ribbed knee socks: H&M. Suede flats: Zara. Coat: First Markham Place. Black patchwork leather purse: vintage.

It's been about a month since I went shopping (aside from purchasing the coat, but I went to that mall for the food court and not for shopping) so my cousin and I took advantage of the gorgeous weather today and remedied that situation. Coincidentally H&M dominated both our outfits today, but despite the amount of shared H&M items in our closet, we didn't wear the same things.

We did, however, buy the same shoes from Zara today. $19.95 for suede flats and only GST because they were under $30; how could we resist? The shoes are pictured above -- I cheated a bit for this outfit photo since I didn't wear them, but the shoes matched my outfit perfectly so I had to. There's even a trim around the opening that is the same colour as the coat.

Love the second picture. It's so artful and it shows those great shoes off to good advantage. Y: Do you do photography as part of your job? You've got a super way of framing your pictures.

Thank you. I don't currently get paid to take pictures, but hopefully one day. I've been doing photography for the past ten years or so though.

Something's off with your CMS or maybe you can control time 'cause your post says it's Saturday!

Actually I post dated it as 2009 so it'd stay at the top of my unpublished entries and I forgot to change it back to 2008 when I published this post. Thanks.

The grey knee highs are superb!

Thanks. Knee highs seem to be perfect for this too-hot-for-tights, but too-cold-for-bare-legs indecisive weather business.
