a moment from the checkout line

Recently my dad and I stopped into the grocery store to pick up a few things.  We were waiting in line at the checkout when I wandered off to have a quick look at the Joe Fresh section (one of the great benefits of living in Canada).  When I came back there was a Crunchie bar waiting to be checked in with the rest of the groceries.  My dad looked at me with an astonished look on his face.. "You won't believe what happened; The bar LEAPED off the rack and onto the conveyor belt!"  Dad turned away for a moment and when he looked back there were two crunchie bars waiting to be checked in.  Like father like daughter.  And anything to satisfy a sweet tooth.

Flannel - Vans//Skirt - Dollhouse//Necklace, Ring and Blazer - Forever 21//Shoes - Madden Girl

Flannel button-up shirts used to be a beloved staple in my casual fall/winter wardrobe - but that was when I had long hair.  Back then, these shirts could easily be thrown on and layered for a cozy, casual cold weather look.  Since cutting my hair short, however, I find this way of wearing flannels to be a little too... er, masculine on me.  For that reason this section of my closet has gone largely unworn this season.  That is until I went out to supper with some friends a few days ago and realized how much I missed wearing flannel in the fall.  Since then I've been determined to wear these shirts again in a way that better suits my new hairstyle.  Adding some feminine touches, such as a pink lipstick, necklace, pleated skirt and heels has made this look wearable for me again and I'm looking forward to trying out other ways to wear these shirts in future outfits.
