Beaded Blush Top and Beige Skirt

October 10, 2014

Don’t get me wrong, I love sheer, flowy maxi skirts… One thing I can’t get behind, though, is the tiny little barely butt-cheek grazing mini skirts that are usually attached to them. My solution? Cut out the offending part of the skirt and wear a midi-length nude slip underneath it! Coverage, while still allowing the skirt to flow.

For this look, I wanted to mostly keep it to pale shades of beige, blush and nude with some metallic pops of gold and pink. I LOVE this clutch… It’s feminine but a tiny bit edgy in metallic leather.

I love these flats, but even after multiple uses, they still eat up my ankles! A little moleskin on the inside lip helps a bit.

#flatlay

October 4, 2014

I could spend hours perusing the hashtag “flatlay” on Instagram. The carefully cultivated collections of items, artfully laid out, sometimes as if everything just fell perfectly in to place on it’s own… And quite often, an outfit idea that I save to my phone to inspire me at a later date. Below are my first 3 posts, joining the #flatlay movement.

Holy Chic With a Pop of Jade

October 2, 2014

There’s little I enjoy more than brunch with friends (and a pedicure!) on my day off. When I get dressed for the occasion, I always try to pull together pieces that are comfortable, cute, and easy to move around in. No one wants to struggle yanking up the hems of skinny jeans to enjoy a calf massage! I thought this outfit needed a pop of color, so I threw the essentials in this colorblock clutch I picked up from Nectar Clothing. It breaks up the otherwise all black-and-white effect.

Comedy Show Date Night

September 27, 2014

For our third date, Mark and I went to a comedy show at the Ontario Improv. I don’t remember who we watched perform, or what we had to eat or drink, but I do remember one of the comedians picking on Mark for his occupation in front of a packed house and me laughing a LOT. We decided last weekend to go again, this time with a coworker of mine and her boyfriend, and it was just as much fun as I remembered. I wanted to wear something bright and also comfortable, because sitting for 3 hours can be really unpleasant in jeans after a full meal, just sayin!
