{My DYT Type One Style Dress Teenflo, thrifted Jacket Bossini, thrifted Striped Tee Alfred Sung via Zellers Boots Aldo, similar here Socks H&M} Yesterday, a dear friend of mine reminded me of the importance of having physical fun. The kind of fun that makes you laugh out loud. Today, I find myself on the playground of a primary school. It’s all got me thinking about fun. Life in general was pretty fun back in the days when recess was a time block. When art meant wearing Dad’s old shirt and finger painting. In fact, if I remember correctly {and please don’t correct me if I’m wrong}, fun was surely my one and only motivation from sunrise to sunset. I am…

{Navy Blazer Talbots, thrifted Navy Pants Nine West, thrifted Gold Sequin Tank via Zellers Gold Clutch and Shoes, also thrifted My DYT Type 1 Fancy} This is not a party dress. No New Years Eve Party for me tonight. You know the ones I mean. Balloons, party favours, loud music, cheap champagne, and buffet dinners. I confess to a disinterest in big New Year’s Eve parties. The mister and I will be celebrating the closing out of 2012 with a few dear friends. An early evening show {Les Miserables}, followed by dinner at Milestones. It may not be fancy, but it makes us happy. I faced a slight dilemma when it came to choosing my outfit. I did not want to be at a suburban movie theatre looking as…
