It has happened to all of us... getting tricked by a dressing room skinny mirror.
Going home only to find out that an item of clothing that looked spectacular in a dressing room isn't flattering at all is the worst!
Now imagine that skinny mirror is in your bedroom. 8 or so years ago I bought a mirror from Walmart that ended up being a skinny mirror. Trying an outfit on and looking in that mirror is the biggest confidence boost ever! The problem? I arrive at my boyfriends house, a restaurant, or even the occasional club and look in the mirror only to cringe. Is that what I actually look like?
Which mirror is telling me the truth?
They say that most women have a distorted view of what their body looks like but how can we be expected to know what we look like when every mirror we look in gives us a different sized reflection?
Blazer and Shoes: Urban Outfitters. Top: Jacob. Scarf: Le Chateau. Jeans: True Value Vintage. The best accessory? The poppy
I got these shoes on sale for $20 (before the shopping ban) and I love them. I think I love shoes so much because they aren't affected by skinny mirrors or fat mirrors. They are lovely in any reflection.
I wore the blue scarf with this outfit to sushi with a friend. While I love the colour, it's not the warmest of scarves so later in the afternoon when I decided to drink tea and read my new Lucky magazine out on Mike's balcony I had to switch it up for this pink infinity scarf from Fine Finds in Yaletown.
I have to remember that it's November, and just because it's sunny doesn't mean that it's warm. That breeze will chill you to the bone! But with a view like this it's worth it.
