Orange.

What an exciting past few days. The Royal Wedding on Friday, the death of Osama bin Laden, and now it's election day in Canada! I'm not usually much one to express political opinions, but... the Canadian government needs a change, and I really hope that tonight, it will happen!

I'm absolutely infatuated with the colour orange lately, not not just because of my political leanings! This lovely orange-flower-printed polo is going to be a staple in my Spring/Summer wardrobe, I have a feeling. I also recently picked up a pair of orange cropped pants from Zara, andI can't wait to wear them!!

And don't you love the crocheted bits on the cuffs and hem of this white cardigan? It's a nice light knit too, another perfect summer piece!

I wore my blue suede booties with this outfit (again!), along with my grey open-weave tights. The elastic is gone in them, so I have to wear them with shorts! Surprise, this skirt is actually a skort :D And also, I am terrible at ironing.

Also, I'ma bit ashamed to admit that this was the first time I've ever voted! There has been at least one federal election since I've been of age to vote. Now, though, it's more important than ever! I was thrilled to see that most of the people in line at the polling stations were young. Hopefully enough young people turn out to really rock the vote and get the conservatives and the "Harper Government" out of there. 

My father, mother, sister, and I all went together to vote -- the people at the stations who knew us were joking that we were going to all break out in song afterwards! Haha, my dad was joking that we were the "von -app" family singers. We even got a bit of applause after we voted! Good times ;)

I'm looking forward to watching the election results on TV tonight, it takes on a whole new meaning having contributed in some small way to the results!
