Snakeskin Selfie

Dress - c/o Jacob; Sweater - Joe Fresh; Pumps - Aldo; Watch - Fossil

Sorry for the mirror selfies, but we're in the middle of what has become the neverending move, and I just had to show off this beautiful shift dress that Jacob sent me.

Since it arrived last week, it has quickly become one of my favourite pieces (I've already planned out to which events I'll be wearing it in the next few weeks). Not only is the snakeskin print great for fall, but the dress goes from day to night with the simple addition of a cardigan. The belt helps to accentuate the waist, and the length is completely office appropriate. All wins in my book!

I can't wait to wear this dress all through fall with my favourite tights and boots.

Dress for Success Saturday

Sweater - H&M; T-shirt - Old Navy; Skirt - Jacob; Boots & Necklace- Aldo

Sorry for the radio silence yesterday. After what turned out to be a busy, action-packed, but wildly fun weekend, I just didn't have it in me to tap on the keys and instead chose to get a few extra hours of Zs. But, after a brief blogging siesta I'm back, and feeling better than ever. 

Colourful Wednesday

Sweater - Forever 21; Skirt - Jacob (c/o); Wedges - Aldo

Just trying to inject a little something into what feels like a never-ending winter. And, what better way to do that than wear as much colour as possible!?

Am I the only one who feels like spring is never going to get here?

New Boots

Sweater - Thrifty's; Blouse & Belt - Jacob; Jeans - Mavi;
Boots - Hunter; Watch - Fossil

I never thought I'd see the day where I wore gumboots with everything (at least now that I'm over the age of 4), but these Hunters Boots have taken hold. They're just so bright and cheerful, I can't help but pair them with every ensemble. And, until the snow/slush is completely gone, I think I'll continue wearing them - so, get used to them!

Purple Plaid

Sweater - Forever 21; Shirt - Talula; Pants - Jacob; Heels - Nine West

Weekend Wears

Sweater - Joe Fresh; Blouse & Trousers - Jacob; Flats - Aldo; Watch - Fossil

I was looking for an outfit that was put together, but casual, and something that I could wear with flats (NB: mom, I did not wear the flats outside, I merely changed into them once indoors) for my Dress for Success shift over the weekend. So, naturally, I reached for my new favourite pants and an amazingly cozy cashmere sweater from Joe Fresh. It was perfect for browsing the racks and picking out pieces for DFS clients.

The only thing that would have made this outfit better would have been a lack of snow and +15C temperatures.

More Monochrome

Blazer - Talula; T-Shirt - Old Navy; Skirt - Jacob;
Necklace - Smart Set; Pumps - Aldo; Watch - Fossil

There's nothing like going out for drinks with friends to pull you out of a funk. Even though I'm feeling a millions times better than I did earlier in the week, I decided to stick with my monochromatic theme to close out the week. Not because it reflected how I was feeling, but because it's chic.

Cloudy Chic

Cardigan - Joe Fresh; Dress - H&M; Tights - Sentiments; Belt - Jacob; Boots Aldo

Do you ever have those weeks where you're just feeling blah? Where you want to be quiet? I'm in the midst of one of those weeks, which might explain why I've been wearing so many black, white and grey tones. Yes, there have been a few pops of colour here and there, but for the most part I've been dressing like the cloud that's been looming overhead. 

I could blame hormones, the weather, or because it's day three of my bikini boot camp and I really miss snacking, but really I think it's just one of those weeks. I'm just not feeling very colourful. 

Thankfully I have a closet full of cloudy chic clothes for those weeks when I don't feel so colourful.

Wintour-ization

Blouse, Trousers & Belt - Jacob; Necklace & Heels - Aldo
Watch - Fossil

In my ongoing effort to be more Anna Wintour, less Liz Lemon, I've found myself gravitating towards classic looks, and there's nothing more classic than a black and white ensemble, accented with red. 

Although my closet is pretty well stocked with the basics, the one item I found it to be missing was  a pair of skinny black trousers. So, this weekend, with my Christmas gift certificates in hand I was off to Jacob where I knew I'd be able to find exactly what I was looking for. Not only did I find the exact trousers I was looking for, I walked away with two skinny belts, and everything was 50% off! It was totally meant to be.

On my way out, I stopped by Aldo and there hanging on the wall was the statement necklace that I've been dreaming of for weeks now, but was certain I'd never find. Again, totally meant to be. I really think this is the universes way of encouraging my Wintour-ization.
