Lauren Moffatt For All Seasons

Hey all! Hope your weekend has been going good so far (and Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians out there!) My weekend has been okay. Not great. I was supposed to go to a baby shower for my friend, Candice yesterday. I wanted to be there for her because it's been a bad week for her - she lost both her dog and her grandma in the past few days. However, my mom ended up having to work and I was left without a ride... and I was completely unsure how to navigate the bus route there (it's a bit out of the way, at a nature park type thing.) I ended up taking the bus to her mom's house instead to drop off the gift. At least I hope it's her mom's house. If her mom moved, some stranger is going on a little shopping spree. Other than that, not much is new. I "splurged" (yeah, Splurgy Sunday!) and got a subscription to Pic Monkey so all my pics are pimped out. I went a little crazy and none of them are the same colour or done in the same way but I was doing a little experimenting. I promise in the future to have some consistency and to lay off the weight loss effect. I didn't realize it'd make the pics look so warped. Seriously though, everyone needs a Pic Monkey account. These photos practically weren't even usable because the sun was too bright in some and it was completely dark in others (we tried 3 different areas) and with Pic Monkey, I was able to salvage a bunch.

I first noticed this Lauren Moffatt skirt when it caused an uproar on Modcloth. It was eventually re-named and all was forgotten. By most. But not by me! I wanted the skirt now. However, it was definitely not in my price range. As time went on, I had started to forget it too. As luck would have it, I came across one on eBay for around $35 because it had a small red pen ink stain on it. It's so small, I can't believe it was so dramatically discounted! Again, it's not my size (size 2) but you know, whatevs. Also, the girl behind me came up to me on the street Saturday night (we took these pics Thursday) and ordered me to stop looking so cute! I see her around but I don't really know her and I thought it was really funny. At least I know who photobombed my pics!

My city sucks and is dumpy.

Outfit Details

Top - it was actually a camisole that came as a layer underneath another top. I don't have the over top anymore because I spilt sauce all over it.

When it comes to Lauren Moffatt, the item I really have an obsession with is the coats. I've been on the hunt for an Eastward Dress Coat for months, even though it's the exact colour and shape of one I have.

This is me "skating" in the Monroeville Mall food court when I went to visit Pittsburgh. My ex told me that it used to be an ice rink, circa when they filmed Dawn of the Dead and it gave me really dumb ideas for photo ops.

I can't help but want it! It looks so amazing on. You can see it modeled on Keiko Lynn here and on some other ladies here and here.

There's a new Lauren Moffatt coat out this year that is having the same effect on me. I HAVE TO HAVE IT.

Lauren Moffatt Cheerful Catch Up Coat - Modcloth - $438

Maybe I'll get lucky and find one on eBay that has pen marks on it? Well that's it for me! Hope you Canadians have a happy holiday and hope the rest of you have a wonderful day as well! And maybe splurge on yourself a little! Talk soon!
