Back to Basics

A couple of weeks back, when I was housebound with the flu, the only thing I could think about was comfort. So when it was time to emerge from my quarantine and return to work, this was the perfect outfit. 

It was everything I could have hoped for. The perfect mix of comfort and office appropriateness.

To spice up this otherwise subdue ensemble I added a bit of bling.

Including my brand new two finger ring. This is the first two finger ring I've owned, and I'm not going to lie, it's taken some getting used to - but I love it!

And, because fall is in full force now in Ottawa, I topped the ensemble off with my H&M trench. It has the most amazing plaid liner, which in truth, is the reason I bought it, but it's become more than useful!

Sweater - Old Navy; Tank - SmartSet; Pants - Talula;
Shoes, Ring, Bag - Aldo; Watch - Fossil

This was the perfect ensemble for my re-emergence into the civilized world; one that doesn't involve neocitran and hourly naps.

The only thing that would have made the day better was if we HADN’T had a fire drill while I was waiting for CBC Manitoba to return my call. But, at least I was more than cozy while we waited for the all-clear to re-enter the building.
