playing favourites

I was tagged by Sophie to share my favourite pieces from my closet. She said, "i think taking a peek into someone's most-valued-pieces in their closet can be quite revealing. it also brings to light the depths of sartorial experience beyond just coveting beautiful, 'fashionable' things... your favorite dress, jacket or pair of shoes embodies memories and has transformative powers that make it special beyond its materiality alone."

Although a lot of these are fairly recent acquisitions, they are my current favourites. This makes me feel as though I'm all over the place, but I really am all over the place in what I love.

My floral leggings. When I wear these I feel a little bit as though I am wearing pyjamas, but I love them. The top two pairs are from a Spanish company called Oysho. The pair at the bottom is from Permanent Vacation.

I got these vintage Kork-Ease shoes from Etsy, and I'm pretty sure they had never been worn before. The bottoms were perfectly clean! I love the A.P.C. Corkies, but these ones were $35. Of course, I have yet to wear them, but I intend to wear them all summer long, and with tights in the spring.
Alternative Apparel modal silk boyfriend tee. This is the first thing I grab when I don't have a specific idea of what to wear. It sits at the top of the pile of clothes I throw on the chair in my bedroom. It's sheer, but it's perfect for layering. The silk makes it feel so nice against my skin. I just love it.

Grace portfolio clutch from Jessica Jensen. This is probably the most grown-up thing I own -- it's perfect for when I want to act my age, which I do sometimes, although very rarely. I got it at a sample sale at the Gladstone, caught up in sample sale madness (women grabbing six bags at once! My goodness).

I've mentioned this Mociun tie-front dress before. I wear it quite a bit. And every time I do, other girls tell me how cute it is and ask me about it. I started carrying Robber business cards because of this dress!

I have been just crazy about the colour peach for the last year or so and I'm glad it's still around. That issue of Russh is from last year, and this is the most recent Frankie. The other day I bought this new Essie nail polish called Tart Deco. It's a bit coral, a bit pink, and very perfect. I keep looking down at my nails and smiling.

mon ami: I hope you did, and I hope they did.

erin / atlantictreefox: I hope you get to! It sounds like a lot of fun.

Melinda Josie: You're right! It is a magnolia. We won't see those until May! And I'm so glad you're interested in the classes. So fun!

K.Line: Yes, so thoughtful!

Rebekka: The Impossible Project makes special editions of film in smallish batches. Shipping to Canada is $50 because we're considered "rest of world." Shipping to the US is only $10, though.

miss sophie: Haha, already emailed you about that.
