Shopping Old Navy for a trip to Cityline

Something fun;  my mom has received tickets to go and watch Cityline live in studio and there is 4 of us going.  The cool thing is that is for the Makeover Madness show.  This got me thinking.  I am months past due for a hair cut wouldn't it be cool to be chosen for one of the makeovers.  With this mop I am sporting, ummm yeah!

So I have devised a strategy to be one of the people they pick.  At first I was like… just show up with bad hair and no make-up.  But then what happens if I don’t get picked?  I have to sit there potentially on national television with no make-up and really bad hair.  Nope, not good!

Then I strategize what if I go with my current mop, and not get it done before the show, wear plain make-up and a really funky outfit?  My thought process is when they are scouring the crowd for potential makeover candidates they will say to themselves… “hmmm, cool outfit but ahhh poor girl her hair and makeup don’t match the look.  We should update her look to be more fitting.  I pick her!”

Now it is quite possible that they look over and say to themselves “Whoa, call the janitor, he has left his mop out here in the crowd”.

What do you think?  Is that a good strategy?  Do you have any suggestions?
So now the discussion goes to what to wear.  Because I have nothing in my closet I must buy something new and the caveat… budget.  I don’t want to spend a lot.

Since
Old Navy has announced they are offering Plus Size Online in Canada I have been visiting their site regularly thinking I should try it out.  I decided to put together three potential outfits that might work for my “strategy” using Old Navy options. 




Then I get thinking, what if I were to grab all of these items now because a lot of them on sale?  I save money, save time and would be a have great start to my fall wardrobe.   Old Navy is making it really easy for me!

Wish me luck on my TV makeover quest.  I will keep you posted on how it all goes.

Pantone Fall 2012 Colour Trend Rhapsody

And the Pantone Fall 2012 Colour Trend report continues.  Today I am featuring the colour Rhapsody.  I am not sure how accurate Pantone was when they predicted this colour -  2 seasons ago because I did have a hard time finding examples of this colour.  

Because of this I did improvise a teensy bit and add in some bolder richer purples.  I think incorporating these rich colours with rhapsody make a bigger impact.  On it's own I do think it is some what "wish washy" but that is just my opinion... what's yours?



Kristin Miles Sequins Raglan
Dorothy Perkins Purple sketchy poppy tee
Reitmans Printed scoop neck tank 
One Stop Shop Milano Series Crinkle Weekender Tote 
Forever 21 Ruffled Faux Leather Jacket
Torrid Purple Skinny Corduroy Pants
Style 369 Square Facet Ring
SWAK Evangaline Tunic

I should also note that I did create these collections a while ago and am slowly publishing so some examples may not be available any more.
