What I Wore for Junuary
Posted on June 26th, 2012 in Style, What I Wore
June has been rather like a Vancouver winter. Rain, cold and very little sunshine. So on the first day of the recent Northern Voice blogging conference, when the sun came out I pulled out a summer dress and sandals.
What I forgot in my excitement over the sun, was that it would likely be cool inside the conference centre. So my feet were a tad chilly. And of course the sun only last part of the day. And we were back to full Juneary by the next day.
Dress: Lane Bryant - Safari Jacket: Addition Elle - Shoes: Winners - necklace: Fine Finds - Ring: Stella & Dot - Sunglasses: Stella & Dot.

Amanda - How can I fault you for buying a good quality rain jacket in Vancouver? Especially when it was only $55. I am also assuming this is the first item of clothing you have bought new this year. Far better than my record.

LOL! I think it's one of the few newbies this year.

My neighbor was wearing a down vest and a wool toque last week in celebration of the first day of summer!! Always carry a shawl - this works for chill weather, wrapping up your feet in a conference room on an airplane, covering up from the sun to avoid burns and covering your leather jacket when a sudden downpour you weren't expecting hits! Store in your purse - always!
