I don’t know what I was thinking, but I think it turned out okay. This is one of those outfits where you literally grab whatever is closest to you — sometimes even blindly — put it on obviously, and run out the door. The next step is to pray that you look okay. Sound all too familiar?

It happens to me every now and then, but most of the time I have to pray REALLY hard that my outfit will suddenly change into something a bit more decent and well put together. Although this outfit is a mix of things from all over the spectrum in color, pattern and texture, it’s a mix that works for me. That’s my attempt at being eclectic. How’d I do?

Thanks to VancityBuzz and Patrick Leung for doing an “Around Town with Bunnie Bar” feature on me yesterday! Pat and I made a trip over to Lonsdale Quay last week, and although it was raining, it was a lot of fun! And cold.

Now for the even more exciting news… I quit my job and am running away to Asia to hide there until someone finds me and forces me to come back! Just kidding. Well, kind of. I did resign from my work, mainly because I felt like it was time for a change and because the time off I need is… too long.

I’m going to Taipei for 5 weeks. And I’m excited and nervous. The last time I went to Asia was 20 years ago, when I was 5. And since then, I haven’t really been much of an avid traveler, although I would love to be able to see more of the world. I also haven’t gone on a vacation that lasted longer than a week. Meaning that I haven’t been away from home, from family, from everything for…. more than a week. Just a month ago, I didn’t even have any idea when I’d visit Asia, if ever.

I made a vow to myself that I wouldn’t look back on this year and wish I did. So I’m trying to make a change. Create excitement. Take on challenges. And I stared with a comprehensive list of goals and resolutions at the beginning of the year. It’s hopping so far, and I hope it’ll only get better!

Of course, I’ll be updating you guys with whatever I’m doing while I’m away, so stay with me! BTW, any recommendations on things to do / eat /see while I’m there?

For the 4th look, I wanted to go casual… as causal as possible when wearing a sequin dress. The sheer blouse I’m wearing is my favorite from Zara. As a size XL, it’s drapes perfectly but I wanted it to be a bit more fitted for this look so I gathered the excess fabric and tied a knot in the back.

The light denim jacket and cognac satchel are really what toned down the dress for me… and of course, the Vans! You don’t see me wearing kicks like these often, but they’re one of my favorites. The only other time I actually wore them on my blog (with the same jacket) is in this post. They make your feet look so small and compact. And if you have wider feet like me, they look like marshmallows!

Would you pair a dress or skirt with runners? Or did I just commit a no-no?

 I went to H&M today with my BFF and saw these pants hanging on the rack in the front. These pants, along with tops, dresses all in the same print. In large amounts. I was kind of ticked off. I received these pants ( which I adore ) for Christmas last year. Last year they cost, something like $60. At this moment, in stores, right now, they are $15. FIFTEEN. I touched them. I looked at them. I’m not sure if there’s a difference. To me, they look the exact same. So if you’re looking to get on this trend but don’t want to spend a fortune, H&M is your store. Just don’t be surprised when you see a bunch of other people wearing the same thing.

I’m still appalled.

XO,

PS – Not sure why the H&M site sells the trousers for $17.95. Get them in stores, they’re cheaper. If you don’t believe me, I took a picture.

I went through a period where I was obsessed with colored or patterned pants. Although I really love the J Brand waxed denims, I don’t own a pair… yet. I’m not sure if I can justify spending $200+ on a trend, although I would probably be able to wear them forever more, depending on the color. I did manage to find a pair of pink pants at Urban Outfitters during the holidays though. For $19.99. I don’t mean to toot my own horn (that was a lie) but I’m a @#$%ing awesome shopper, sometimes. I’m seeing a lot of pastels rolling in for Spring and I’d love a pair of denim in mint green, lavender or creamsicle. Forever 21 seems to have some, but the quality and fit is always a hit or miss for me. Have you guys seen pastel denims elsewhere?

As I’m lying here on the couch in my most gangster slouch, engulfed in a giant blanket with the Canucks on, my mind is blank. I feel nothing. Actually, I feel pretty tired. And my brain also feels like mashed potatoes. I don’t think mashed potatoes have feelings, nor do they think. So that brings me back to my first point: my mind is blank.

Considering that I’m in the middle of writing a blog post, a blank mind is not ideal. But regardless of how thoughtless my brain is, words are autonomously forming from my fingers and being transposed onto the screen. Wow, this is boring. I’m sorry.

This is one of my favorite outfits so far. It’s casual and it’s comfortable. I’ve always been a big fan of “effortless looks.” The kind where you feel like they just grabbed whatever was on the floor but still manages to look good. (Although in my case, I tried.) Not to mention, my H&M jeggings cost $15, my denim jacket is from highschool, and I’m wearing the most versatile booties I’ve ever bought. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Do you like the effortless look?

XO,
