Pyjama Day

I've been wishing for a simple black dress to layer under some closet orphans. This one from Miik looks just about right. Except for the price. And there's no one on the Island that sells Miik products. And I'm a terrible online shopper.

So, I hit some local shops to see if I could find a reasonable-for-me alternative. I checked the second-hand stores and be, a boutique that specializes in Canadian-designed, and made, clothing.

I didn't find a black dress, but I didn't go home empty handed. This tunic is by Ramonalisa. I tried it on at be, and initially left without it. It certainly isn't the black dress I was looking for. I felt I needed to stick to my mission. So much for my mission. I went back almost immediately to buy it. I love that it's Canadian-made from hemp and organic cotton. So very, very comfy. It's like wearing pyjamas in public. 



I'll have to be careful where I wear it. I put it on and was overwhelmed with the urge to go for a nap. 


Linking up with Patti and the hopefully more lively crowd over at Not Dead Yet Style for Visible Monday. Head over check out the fun!

  1. Great nightgown, I mean dress! It looks so soft, and it's that nice nubbly heathery grey. You can always get a black dress next time.

    Now try to stay awake, will you!

  3. Have to tell you, the yawn can't be from this great, figure skimming tunic ... do you know how cool this one is? Good call, Laurie! Val and Patti have it right. You'll find your LBD, ASAP. You look fabulous and will wear this to death, I just know it. Lucky you!

    1. Thanks Jan. The weather is getting colder here, so I'm already glad I went back for the tunic. It makes it a bit easier to get out of bed on cool mornings when I know I don't *really* have to get dressed.
