Post Canada Day Hangover

How was everyone's Canada Day {for fellow Canadians of course :)}? We didn't have the best weather did we? I hope everyone made the best of their long weekend despite the less than stellar climate. When is Summer going to get here, seriously?

My last post was a recap of my lunch time trip to Wal-Mart, where I picked up some basics and tried to make a ruffled tiered skirt function as a work outfit.

I tried to pull this together by bringing out the flecks of purple in the skirt (originally I tried the neon green but the shirt wasn't really work appropriate). So I paired it with a purple tank and black basic cardigan.

 Cardigan: Le Chateau (old)

Tank: Wal-Mart (old)

Skirt: Wal-Mart (new)

Shoes: Novellino, been wearing these a lot lately, here, here and here

Normally I gauge my outfits on the reactions or compliments I get. My Rommie is always honest and she usually gives me a "you look nice" when I leave for work in the morning. The ladies I work with are pretty generous with outfit related compliments as well. But today, nothing....nada, zilch!

So I guess this look isn't a winner by most opinions but I really wanted this skirt to work for some reason. It's not that I spent a lot of money on it, it was only $14 but I thought it was a cute alternative to the regular pencil or A-Line skirts you normally see in an office. Oh well, I tried!

This blah response could also be due to the fact that I feel very blah today. No one likes returning to work after a long weekend but I feel like I ate and drank my way through the weekend. Probably because I did!

I didn't partake in any Canada Day Festivities downtown; just hung around the house and the pool.

But here's a peak at what I devoured:

Friday 
Breakfast - McDonald's Egg McMuffin
Lunch -  Costco Hot Dog
Dinner - Tacos

Saturday
Breakfast - Croissant with Jam
Lunch -  Roast Beef Sandwich
Dinner - Chicken and Steak Kabobs

Sunday (went for an hour long walk)
Breakfast -  Bacon & Eggs with Toast
Lunch -  a Peach
Snack -  Chips and dip
Dinner - Smart Ones dinner

Monday (Canada Day!)
Breakfast - English Muffin with bacon, cheese and tomato
Lunch - Roast Beef Sandwich
Snack - Two Honey Garlic Ribs
Dinner - Homemade Burgers and Taco Salad

This list may not seem like a total pig-out but couple all of this not-so-healthy food with copious amounts of alcohol and you have yourself a Post Canada Day Hangover!

M.I.A

So sorry I have been M.I.A this week. We have launched a new Sales Portal at work and it's been very hectic as I have been driving to different offices around town so I am away from my "home base". Also I normally do my blog updates from work (Shhhh! I know, naughty naughty!) and haven't had time this week with all the craziness.

The busy schedule and rainy, dreary weather has also lead to some very practical yet boring outfit choices. So rather than post a very blah outfit just for the sake of posting something I will hold off until I get out the door looking a bit more spiffy. Maybe since tomorrow is Casual Friday I will be able to come up with a somewhat stylish ensemble.

Here's me at work missing my blog. You can tell by the dark circles under my eyes the week I have had!

I hope everyone has been having a great week despite the rain!

Cheers to the freakin' weekend!
