(Cardigan from Indonesia / H&M dress / Vintage belt / ALDO shoes / Forever 21 ring)
I know I know, the title couldn't get any cheesier. But I did let the dogs out. Over two dozens of them... all over my body.
My week started off with a bad start. I lost my monthly transit pass just 2 weeks into the month and March is one loooong month. If you live in Toronto, you know that the public transportation here is not cheap. I commute daily, so I need the pass to get around the city. I was pissed by my own clumsiness. I was angry because losing the pass resulted in a significant $$ hit to my monthly budget. But then I realized that it was such a small (minuscule, even!) problem compared to what the Japanese are facing at the moment. They are lacking electricity, water, and shelter. I have all of them. They've lost their loved ones. I am surrounded by my friends and family. Suddenly, I couldn't care less about my transit pass. My thoughts and prayers are with Japan.
Hi I'm Kristy, I like to make lame jokes and laugh at my own lameness :)

I like the quirky prints but somehow still sophisticated.
and I still can't fathom the devastation the Japanese are experiencing right now. I can't help but be grateful for everything I have.
I love your cardigan!
I used to live in Toronto and know all about public transit there! March was always the worst month for me as I misplaced my pass many times.
Hope you're able to find it!

Its funny how natural disasters really make us appreciate what wee have so much more, I guess that is the only positive to them....and that it shows mother nature that the world can all come together to help out.
Love this outfit too :D

It's funny how we sometimes give lots of important to little things when there are others really having a hard time, hope sun shines soon for everyone in Japan, back to fashion adored the mix of polka dots and doggies, both prints so pretty, adding that red flower looks so chic, hope you enjoy the weekend, keep that pass visible!

This is just an adorable outfit. I am so loving 'our' shoes. They look very cool against contrasting tights. THe ring and the pin are just perfect on that outfit to add pops of color.
I am in love with that sweater - it is too adorable! Such a fun mix of prints in this look!

Hahaha. Well, cheesy or not you definitely made me laugh :P The Japan earthquake really put things into perspective for me too... so thankful for everything we have here and I am definitely praying. Hopefully you made an F21 purchase online today to support?
Have a great weekend Kristy!

Yay for print mixing with the dogs and the polka dots! Love! This outfit is so adorable! Everything just works so well together. I especially love that shade of coral from your pin! <3 Sorry about your bus pass but you are so right--people there in Japan are having it way worse!
Oh my week has been pretty awful too - I lost my cell phone :( but you're so right to always keep things in perspective. P.S. love the mix of prints here!
I have a secret I want to share. I'M the one who let the dogs out. Way back in '06 but don't tell anyone okay?
I love your polka dotted dress! And those shoes really are amazing! You look fab : )
Super cute pattern-mixing! And I love the pops of red, dear. (: sigh, I know what you mean... I always find myself complaining about the littlest things and then I remember Japan and suddenly everything's put in perspective.
How cute is this??!! I'm in love with the dog pattern, it looks adorable mixed with the polkadots! <3
I just wanted to let you know that I borrowed one of your photos again for another inspiration post at my blog. I hope that's okay? Let me know if not.

Happy Monday! :)
This was a great reflective post, chica. I love the outfit.
It's sad that you lost the pass, but of course, it's just a drop in the bucket compared to the death, devastation and suffering in so many other parts of the world.
Japan, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, Pakistan, HAITI... just to name a few.
My prayers are definitely with everyone and you as well, that the budget isn't too destroyed after you lost your pass!
You are really bringing it with the quirky fashion lately. I'd go so far as to say, you've out Maed even me. Bravo on the pattern mixing!!! WESTIES... on a cardigan? I die. FAHBULOUS.
