My Old Navy/H&M splendour and I ventured out of suburbia today to join my cousins-in-law at L'Oreal Fashion Week downtown. We watched Carlie Wong's spring/summer 2009 collection. I didn't watch Project Runway Canada, nor do I follow any trends (only the signs to the Clearance racks...), so I didn't know what to expect. I was impressed. Very nice, wearable designs.

We scored seats intended for members of the media - I was E-Talk's representative for today. Plus they had a free (ooh, there's that beautiful word) Schick Quattro for Women on each seat.

It was a fun, impulsive little escapade for us, and I was happy that I didn't feel as self-conscious as I thought I would, with my bottom of choice these days being track pants and sneakers, not sexy stuff and stilettos. Besides, the people behind us in line were talking about what they were going to wear at prom. And as a bonus, we got carded. It's a beautiful thing, when you're pushing your mid-30's.
