In all my years as a working girl, I have never taken a vacation longer than 2 days that didn't revolve around a holiday. This year, all of that changed. I decided to take this past week off to relax and recharge: I took a staycation, if you will.
The first two days of my staycation were less than relaxing. My parents had driven across the country from Victoria, bringing with them the remainder of my belonging that had been left behind from my move 6+ months ago (aka: all my books and items that were too heavy to ship).
The first morning of my staycation was spent carrying boxes and boxes and boxes up to my third floor walk-up. All this heavy-lifting required a cute, but utilitarian outfit. I went with this...
Casual but functional, this outfit let me do all the heavy lifting (okay, so that was minimal, I opted for the lighter pieces while my dad did the lifting) and trudging up stairs that the re-move-in required.
Plus, it felt summery enough for the summery day (and sadly, one of the last, as a cold-spell over took Ottawa shortly thereafter).

Work-wise, it wasn't the start to my staycation that I was expecting, but outfit-wise, it was perfect. I felt comfortable but cute - what more could you ask for.
