I took ballet classes in my youth and started again this summer. This fall I enrolled in adult ballet classes at Canada's National Ballet School. My friend likes to say that I was "accepted" to take classes at the ballet school. Technically that's true. They have accepted my money. :)<br />

Despite these shoes being wedges, I like them. Contrary to popular belief, I wouldn't wear any shoe just because it was designed by John Fluevog. Most of them, but not all of them.<br />

Love this bronze dress so much, though the neckline/zipper is a bit too high. I might need to have it slightly altered.<br />
<br />
I bought this dress to attend the grand opening of the new Fluevog store at 686 West Queen West. Didn't get to talk to Mr. Fluevog himself though. He seemed a bit overwhelmed and I'm shy so I missed my opportunity (again) to tell him we share a birthday.<br />

I've been trying to decide what to do with my hair - keep the same style, grow out my bangs, try different colour - but I think I'll stick with the tried and true for a while longer. This picture I took convinced me.<br />

Had a lovely walk from my home to the hospital and then spent some time looking a pretty things at The Room at The Bay. Lots of pictures here on my <a href="http://www.instagram.com/meganfluevog" target="_blank">Instagram</a> feed.<br />
<br />
On my way home I stopped at the new Fluevog store and they kindly let me use their new patio to take some photos.<br />

It's November 4 and I have bare arms. And I'm apparently continuing my photo taking trend of looking for divine assistance from above.<br />

S'up? Just me, sitting on my front yard, contemplating the neighbourhood.<br />
<br />
Taking a few days off work to recover from sinus surgery so I've been thinking about blogging again. Found my old camera, recharged it, and took some pictures. Found some old ones that were never blogged too.<br />
<br />

I've gained a bit of weight, gotten a bit older, and bought a lot of clothes and shoes since I stopped blogging. Let's give this a try again. Older ladies need to band together against all the #basic black jeans with ripped out knees and black ankle booties (though I do love some of the ankle boots)!<br />

Sorry for the crappy cell phone picture but I forgot my camera and I felt that this outfit was worthy of posting on Patti's Visible Monday page.<br />
<br />
Then I realized it was Tuesday. Then I noticed that Visible Monday is on its off week. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.<br />

Here's two outfits that I wore last month. The first is a dress that I bought on <a href="http://eshakti.com/">eShakti.com</a> which has recently decided to stop shipping to Canada (again). *sigh*<br />

<br />
As someone who isn't usually drawn to florals I seem to have bought a lot of shoes and clothes with flowery motifs. Like the <a href="http://thefashionablebureaucrat.blogspot.ca/2014/05/birthday-party-outfit.html" target="_blank">booties </a>I bought for my birthday.<br />
<br />

I bought this dress at Meg not knowing that I would match some older Fluevogs that I have owned for about 5 years.<br />

<br />
My penultimate boss was all "oh Megan, your shoes match your dress perfectly" and she wouldn't believe me when I told her that it was just a happy coincidence!<br />

Ok, I may have bought this dress because of the pocket on the front. I wish it also had side pockets but this will do.<br />

I bought these leggings last weekend when I was wandering around in Kensington Market with the <a href="http://www.forestcityfashionista.com/2014/06/divine-distractions-blogger-meetup.html" target="_blank">Forest City Fashionista</a>. She's so cool. I'm glad I got to spend some time catching up with her while she was in the big city.<br />
<br />
I seem to be addicted to leggings right now.<br />

When I bought these shoes I thought they'd only work with a small number of outfits but they are proving to be quite versatile. <a href="http://shop.misslfire.com/products/shoes/ss14-miss-l-fire" target="_blank">Miss L Fire</a> may be my second favourite brand of shoes!<br />
<br />
I'm off to visit family for the weekend and Father's Day. I can't believe June is already half over.<br />

Crazy cat lady dress!<br />
<br />
You can't really tell here but my hair is much redder and the colour isn't fading like it has from the other place I've been going. I had to go quite far afield to get there but it was the salon experience I was looking for.<br />

This band opened for White Lies when I saw them in February and I hope to see them again soon. Their drummer is the most enthusiastic musician I've ever seen. My friend who went to the concert with me, right a the beginning of their set said "That guy better pace himself! He'll be exhausted by the second song." Fortunately he wasn't.<br />

After work today I had an appointment for a CT scan of my head at the
hospital near the Eaton Centre so I went to the mall to kill time. I
think a part of my soul died. What a lot of wank they sell there. Ugh!<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Blouse: Fitzroy Boutique pop-up shop<br />
Skirt: Trapper Jane (last worn <a href="http://thefashionablebureaucrat.blogspot.ca/2013/01/indecisive.html" target="_blank">here</a>)<br />
Shoes: Fluevog Writes | Simone (last worn <a href="http://thefashionablebureaucrat.blogspot.ca/2013/01/grellow-and-burgundy.html" target="_blank">here</a> though I'm sure I've worn them since last January)<br />
<br />
First of all, I don't wear separates very often so wearing a skirt and blouse is different for me. Secondly, this is quite flowery, also not a typical choice for me.<br />
<br />
That being said, I recently bought those flowery boots and flats from Fluevog. Maybe my style is evolving? Am I becoming girly in my early-mid-40s?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It's also quite sheer and flowy (if that's a word).<br />
<br />
And a HI to the funky woman who stopped me at Queen and Spadina to tell me she likes my blog. *waves*<br />

So these were taken in Boardroom A.<br />

I haven't worn these shoes in 2 years? What is wrong with me? I know I'm a fan of Fluevog but I own a lot of nice shoes of other brands which I should wear more often. I do love the t-straps.<br />

Though my birthday was on Thursday, I hosted a party at <a href="http://www.theballroom.ca/" target="_blank">The Ballroom</a>
on Friday night. I had a blast and I hope my friends did too. Yesterday
was a bit difficult as I struggled with a bit of a hangover. I'm
feeling much better today. Like Detective Murtaugh, I'm getting too old
for this shit.<br />

Forgot to remove my dog tags. Whoops.<br />

I like the wonky snaps on this dress which give it a little more visual appeal.<br />

<br />
After work I went to the Queen Street Fluevog store to pick up some birthday shoes and to be in the "class photo" that is taken at 5:15. Apparently I'll get a copy of the photo autographed by John himself!<br />
<br />
This DJ was in the house providing some entertainment. There was a young boy in the store who was mesmerized by him.<br />

<br />
After the Fluevog visit I went to dinner with my friend Mary where I may have indulged in a few cocktails. Lychee martini? Don't mind if I do.<br />
<br />
We got caught in a downpour, hence the drowned rat hair (apologies and good health wishes to <a href="http://www.forestcityfashionista.com/2014/05/bleak-house.html" target="_blank">Fred</a>).<br />
<br />
What shoes did I buy? Something right outside of my usual comfort zone.<br />

She told me that she does tend to tone things down rather than pushing the envelope. I told her she should go for it and wear what she wants.<br />
<br />
So in honour of that, I wore my craziest dress.<br />
<br />

<br />
This dress is just the smidgiest smidge too tight but hopefully when I get back into the "going to the gym" groove I'll shrink a smidge and it will be fine.<br />

<br />
I like the sheer back of it and the green dots and flowers.<br />
<br />
It's not quite warm enough to go completely bare legged but bare foot is totally doable.<br />

Shoes: Fluevog Blind Faith Mid | Drew (last worn <a href="http://thefashionablebureaucrat.blogspot.ca/2012/07/red-and-turquoise.html" target="_blank">here</a>)<br />
<br />
I like to look at the clothes in eShakti's overstock section and this jumped out at me and was my size so I took the plunge.<br />
<br />
Surprisingly there's no crinoline underneath it - the skirt just sticks out like that on its own! Sproing!<br />

<br />
Not entirely sure if these shoes work with it but I hadn't worn them in a while so I retrieved them from under the bed. They are quite comfortable.<br />
<br />
I posted a picture of them on instagram and got a great comment:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: blue;">So… I am male and gay and have never ever ever had any desire whatsoever to drag (verb) at anytime in my life - Okay: That one period in the early 80s and I wanted to dress up as Annie Lennox but that's different. With that said, every once-and-awhile, if I walk past a nice women's clothing store and I see something I really like, I think "If I were a woman, I would wear that." My point? If I were a woman, I would wear those shoes. They are really wonderful. You, Madame, have very good taste in shoes and in garb.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<br />
That's some nice validation right there.

Happy weekend!Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08897288223542292003noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989330591568158899.post-73121119748126154992014-05-01T10:01:00.000-04:002014-05-01T10:01:15.041-04:00Scarlet as a paper cut I recently tried to bring some organization to my apartment, particularly to my closet. I had difficulty arranging my skirts and tops so they've just ended up in piles all over the place. In attempting to find a place for everything I rediscovered this skirt.<br />

I like this skirt but it's a little big and I have trouble with long skirts because I tend to frequently step on the hems. Not sure that's enough of a reason to give this skirt up though.<br />

<br />
Today I built my outfit around this little hand embroidered skeleton that I bought at <a href="http://www.canon-blanc.com/boutique/en/" target="_blank">Canon Blanc</a> on Queen St West. They are made by <a href="http://www.canon-blanc.com/boutique/en/43_macon-lesquoy" target="_blank">Macon Lesquoy</a> and they are adorable. I kinda also want the <a href="http://www.canon-blanc.com/boutique/en/pins/937-blood-knife-pin-by-macon-lesquoy-at-canon-blanc-pins.html" target="_blank">bloody knife</a>.<br />

I wore it with my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/Lissabowiejewellery" target="_blank">Lisa Bowie</a> skull ring and cheepy skull bracelet.<br />
<br />
The outfit itself was rather *meh*.<br />

Today I am a bit more colourful. In fact someone just complemented me on the elevator for being so colourful. Maybe today will be a two post day!Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08897288223542292003noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989330591568158899.post-87756288833939679132014-04-28T19:39:00.000-04:002014-04-28T19:39:03.944-04:00Amish approved!On Saturday I was out running a few errands (mailing packages, picking up a few greeting cards) and despite the fact that I know better, I popped into <a href="http://www.cabaretvintage.com/" target="_blank">Cabaret Vintage</a> on Queen St. West. I walk past it twice a day and usually covet the clothing in their windows like this yellow dress. Not to mention the obviously fabulous bow tie and cardigan.<br />
<br />

<br />
I found the yellow dress but alas it was tiny so I looked around and found a few other items to try on, including somethings from their basement sale.<br />
<br />
I ended up leaving with this dress.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Not quite the candid smile from last time but still looking happy to be in a pretty dress.<br />
<br />
This is a little more covered than I am usually but I enjoy the slightly dropped waist and floral border.<br />
<br />
The label inside says "Made in Paris exclusively for Mary Korolnek Imports, Toronto, Canada". Seems to be from the 1960s.<br />
<br />
Dress: Cabaret Vintage<br />
Shoes: Kate Spade (last worn <a href="http://thefashionablebureaucrat.blogspot.ca/search?q=kate+spade&max-results=20&by-date=true" target="_blank">here</a>)<br />
<br />
Looking back to that photo, my hair was pretty long and is now getting to that length again. I think I'm liking it longer.<br />
<br />

<br />
And the back. I like how the pattern of the polka dots line up along the zipper. It needs some TLC at the bottom of the zipper to resew the upper to the lining but I think I can handle that with some hand sewing.<br />
<br />

<br />
What sold me on this dress was the floral border. It's a surprising touch on the navy/white dress.<br />
<br />

I've long been a fan of the movie so when I found out that Neil Patrick Harris was going to be reprising the role on Broadway I had to make the trip and go see it.<br />

It did not disappoint - he was amazing and the show was fabulous. So exciting! And I got to see one of my BFFs from Halifax who also came down for the show. It was really great to see her for a weekend. <br />

I bought this dress in Halifax and I don't think I've ever worn it but I noticed in the window of Joe Fresh that black and white patterns seem to be big this spring so I dug it out of the back of my closet.<br />

I think I'll be wearing it a lot this spring.<br />
<br />
A coworker found me in the middle of taking photos. I really like this shot of me. It's very candid.<br />

I didn't realize the slip was this long - luckily it doesn't look bad.<br />

Looking at this from the back, I can say that the cardigan is really what made this outfit work. Without it, the boots and the dress are not a great match.<br />

The watch I'm wearing is an old Swatch of mine from high school in the 1980s. I took both of the watches to the Swatch booth in the Eaton Centre and bought new bands to make them wearable again. I'm quite pleased!<br />

And while I was in the mall, I decided to peruse the shoe department of The Bay. Saw these. No way they are in my budget but I'd love to have these killer heels.<br />
