In With The Old

With spring comes spring cleaning, or in our case, closet cleaning.  In the next days, we'll be giving a second (or third or fourth) chance to old clothes we'd forgotten about.

Sofie wearing: Shirt (Urban Outfitters), Jeans (Gap), Shoes (too old to remember), Necklace (Chilean cross)

Here's a clear shot of Romy's trench, as seen in previous posts: 

Romy wearing: Tee (American Apparel), Jeans (Bedo), Cardigan (BGBG), Heels (Nine West), Watch (BCBG), Headband (Simons), Necklace (handmade).

A Time For Change

Many things are happening and soon life for us will change drastically.  A new third roommate, because C is leaving us for greener pasture (literally, she's going to Ireland) and this time, roommate #3 will be a boy so it will be kind of hard to explain to him our girly antics but hopefully we'll find common ground, university starting this fall (health science-related for Romy and art-related for Sofie), new jobs and new love-interests.  And so, we're thinking, it might be time for a new style (about time too: Romy's closet is bursting with clothes she doesn't even wear).  We'll see. 

Romy wearing: Roxy wool cardigan, La Classe Couture shirtdress, MIA gold and black wedges, vintage bangles, Banana Republic earrings.

Sofie wearing AA shirt, H&M waistcoat, Zara pants, ghetto place scarf, Chilean cross necklace.

O Cold Weather, How We'll Miss You. Not.

We're clearly at some sort of disadvantage here. Living in the wilderness that is Canada (yeah, we ARE overreacting) we have to deal with four very different seasons and so far, we've been in the Freeze-your-fashion-sense-cold zone.  It's hard to look stylish when you've got a big coat that makes you waddle rather than walk and big hat and gloves.  Alright, we'll admit that some lucky creatures do possess the natural elegance required to survive this winter without sacrificing their fashion sense, but we're just far too lazy for that.  But lately, the weather has been somewhat nicer.  Still a long shot from Sunshine-Central, but it did allow us to take our (modest) photography skills outside.  Enjoy.

Here is Romy with good friends E and I, enjoying the nice weather. E and I were Romy's awesome models, going as far as freezing to death when she requested they take their coat off.

On Romy: Zara black coat

E is a really good friend of Romy, going as far as taking cheesy pictures of their Easter-coloured Converse with her.

On Romy: Urban Behaviour white cardigan, Lacoste turquoise polo, Element jeans, Converse pink high-tops.

And we're back with Romy and Sofie. Sorry you can't really see their outfit, other than their cheesily-matching scarves.
