This week-end was the birthday celebration for my friend Dominique. We took advantage of the Main (Saint-Laurent street for those not from Montreal) being closed off to cars and took the party to the street. The night was quite interesting and we ended up meeting a lot of fun people...and others not so fun! Might I add that I spotted so many fashion don't...too tight dresses or too short ones. Arggg!! This made me really miss the way women dressed in the 50's.

While doing the spring cleaning of my closet (which I'm still not done with!), I found this dress in that I had quite honnestly forgot I'd bought. The shape reminded me of an Alexander wang or Acne wannabes so I decided to take it out for the first time. I paired it with this fantastic kids jacket I found at a thrift store that look like really leather but is in fact made of a thin fabric perfect for warmer weather.

Ce week-end était la célébration de l'anniversaire de mon amie Dominique. Nous avons profités du fait que la Main (la rue Saint-Laurent pour ceux qui ne sont pas de Montréal) était interdite aux voitures pour relocaliser le party dans la rue. La nuit était assez intéressante et nous avons rencontré des gens amusants...et d'autres assez bizarres. Est-ce que je peux ajouter que j'ai aussi vu un nombre énorme de fashion DON'T, des robes trop courtes ou d'autre trop serrés. Argg!! Ça me fait vraiment m'ennuyer de la façon dont les femmes s'habillait dans les années 50.

En faisant le ménage de printemps de mon garde-robe (que j'ai toujours pas fini d'ailleur), j'ai trouvé cette robe dont j'avais en tout honnêteté oublié l'existance après son achat. Sa coupe me rapelle celle d'une Alexander Wang ou d'une Acne donc j'ai décidé de la sortir pour la toute première fois. Je l'ai jumelé à ce fantastique petit jacket d'enfant que j'avais trouvé dans un thriftshop qui semble être fait de cuir mais qui, en réalité, est fait d'un tissus très mince absolument parfait pour les temps plus chaud.

Your outfit is perfect for partying. I totally understand what you mean about the fashion don'ts. Every time I go to a club with friends I always have the most clothes on it seems. Everybody i see wears those short spandex dresses that barely cover their goodies.
