work attire

Well, once again, fashion blogger I am not... But this whole thing is about our lives and getting by and what not, and for both Sam and I we loooove clothes. I think the past couple days we've been texting each other saying "Let's go shopping!".... except for the fact that we are about a 4 hour flight apart.



So this is how I figure it is going to go down... Gabi and outfit posts is really going to just be telling a strange story about how outfit photos came to be. Because today is a good one. Before I continue, here's a shout out to my lovely roommate Val for playing 'fashion blog boyfriend' and taking photos for me.





I am currently in mid-cold. I call it mid-cold because I felt a sore throat coming on Monday evening, and I promptly went and purchased a bunch of homeopathic remedies (some stuff for sore throat, flu busters, oil of oregano) and when I got home swallowed it all down. I think that plus sleeping all day yesterday helped, because today I am feeling much better although I do have a runny nose. But since I did so much sleeping on Tuesday this morning was a bit of a shit show.

My everyday routine is still in the works. I just started a new job at this cute little boutique Roadtrip in the Byward Market; one of my volunteer gigs is finishing up training which means I can start taking on official shifts, and school is just getting into full swing. This means I am attached to my email and my planner. So this morning as I was getting ready, I had to squeeze in taking a shower, sending a bunch of emails with my availability out, take outfit photos, eat lunch... and squeeze in some snuggle time with the cats. That's clearly the number 1 priority.

So this was my work outfit today. Although I did change my pants when I got to work, because I purchased a lovely pair of Mavi jeans.  The outfit didn't change, but I gotta say... my bottom half felt wayyy more comfortable—these jeans feel like leggings and are mucho more comfortable than the ones I was wearing in these photos. If you are in the Ottawa-land, you should come by and try them on... cause I am telling you... I'm a black jeans-only girl and super picky, and am pretty pleased about these pants. Yes, this was a paragraph about jeans.



To finish this post off, I just wanted to share with you all that this is our 2nd week with my newest kitty cat friend Wilbur. He's getting comfy in his new house, and we are really learning all the tricks this cat has up his sleeve! He knows how to open doors... and this morning Val left the food cupboard open and all of a sudden I hear this noise.... it's Wilbur. Jumping up to grab an open jar of catnip with his paws. He tried to pull it down (I think he thinks he has thumbs) and it fell, and before I know it, Wilbur is rolling around in catnip heaven, and Sheldon (our other cat) came by to join in on the action. It's a never ending circus/zoo around here! Overall though, I am loving having him in our house and am more than happy to oblige to copious amounts of kitty and bunny snuggles.

Well then! Hope you are all having a lovely week so far, and hope that the rest of your week continues that way!
