Wardrobe: Metric Tonne

See what I did there?  Har har!  I miss Canadian spelling.  And measurements.  It feels all too appropriate for this entry, as I’m wearing a tank from one of my favorite (Canadian) bands, not to mention getting ready for my trip to Canada!  Hence the reason for my slow posting as of late.

I’ll be gone from July 27 to August 6, so I’ve been rushing around trying to tie up my loose ends.  One of my best friends from high school just had a baby (as did another good friend 9 months ago, which I totally missed!), not to mention it’s my brother’s birthday on the 29th, and I missed my parents’ birthdays and anniversary – so I’ve been spending a lot of time searching for gifts for everyone :)  I’m also still unpacking and decorating the new place (shameful, I know – trying to get more of that done before I take off).

I got this (hugely oversize) tank at the Metric concert @ Mr. Smalls Theatre in Pittsburgh last November (during their Fantasies tour), which I attended with the boyfriend and another great friend (and I think we’d all attest that it was AWESOME).

I’ve been a huge Metric fan for years now, long before they were this popular, from Old World Underground to Grow Up and Blow Away, and everything in between.  I’m also a massive fan of Emily Haines’s solo career – especially her work with her solo band, The Soft Skeleton (I had Knives Don’t Have Your Back on repeat for over a year, and the follow-up EP was just as brilliant), and just Emily Haines in general.  I have a ridiculous girl crush on her.  I mean, look at her!

Sorry, I know that video’s creepy.  ANYWAY :)  I got this tank in a unisex LARGE because it was the only size they had left, but I’m so glad I did because it’s long enough to be a dress and looks great over leggings (and is comfy to bed!).  I love it even more now.  So much it hurts; I’ve worn it many times already.  It isn’t even my first Metric tee (you might remember I debuted my spray paint tee – which I still love to death! – last summer).

Wind is awesome!

Two pairs of shorts (because why not?).

Love these shoes so much.  Got them at Forever 21 for $10 and I wear them constantly.

♥ Metric tank top – concert
♥ Rings – various & Forever 21

♥ Spandex bike shorts – Pink Ice
♥ Black opaque knee highs – We Love Colors
♥ Hi-top sneakers – Forever 21

Anyway.  Hope you all have a great weekend.  I highly suggest you listen to all these songs; they’re just a select few of my favorites.  The next time we see each other I’ll probably be in Canada – I’ll try to make at least a couple posts while I’m away :)  Until then.

P.S.  I still have stuff for sale in the Boutique (though I won’t be able to ship until I return).  I’ll let you know if/when I add more!
