Coral, Florals and Plaid

I've hit that point again.  


I'm at war with laundry, so I've started to go through my closet and put together outfits I wouldn't normally consider. Which is how this combination came about.


I bought this shirt last year, but never wear it. The colour and pattern are gorgeous, but the fit is... off. I just don't know how to properly pair it.


And although I'm not in love with this combo, I'm getting closer to figuring out how to make it work.

Sweater - Zara; Blouse - Mexx; Trousers - unknown

Any suggestions on how to make this shirt work?

Je vous manqué

Well hello there, I have good news: I'm back!

Okay, I didn't actually go anywhere, I just fell off the face of the blogging earth for a couple of weeks. And, I have no excuse - actually I have many, including: laziness, lack of clean clothes, PMS, a wild weekend with friends and the following days of recovery, work, life, etc. etc. - but none of them are good reasons.

But, like I said, I'm back - and with a new dress to boot.


This dress forced me to break my self-imposed shopping hiatus, but it wasn't my fault - I swear! I was walking through the Rideau Centre with my Director on the way to a trade show one afternoon and it was the first time I had set foot in a mall in weeks. As we passed Mexx she pointed to the dress and said: "You need that dress, it's such a Kate dress." I immediately cursed her for being a bad influence and continued on my way.


Fast forward eight days and the dress was mine.


I'd spent eight days thinking about the dress and telling myself that I didn't really need it, although I wanted it. So Friday afternoon I trekked back to Rideau and tried it on hoping that it wouldn't fit, or would look horrible; sadly that wasn't the case.


So there you have it, the tale of my latest splurge. I really do love the dress, the colour and cut are perfect! I wish I could wear it everyday (who knows, if laundry continues to win the battle of Kate v. Laundry, I just might)


To link up with this week's Inspiration Monday challenge I threw on an oversized cardigan and rocked a monochromatic chic look!


Sweater - Joe Fresh; Dress - Mexx; Heels - Michael Kors; Ring -Aldo; Watch - Fossil

Love Hurts

I love this shirt.


I love the colour (I'm calling it melon even though that might be ridiculously wrong). And, I love the pattern.


I love the underlay with the scalloped edge.


And I love that you can cinch it in to define the waist - always key for us Petites.


However, I do NOT love that the underlay is not attached to the waist cincher thing.


It hangs far too low. So low that it no longer looks like cute layering, but like I'm wearing a WAY too long shirt underneath.

Shirt - Mexx; Tank & Cuff - SmartSet; Skirt - Jacob
It was purchased at Mexx not long ago during their fabulous 50% off sale. And I really do love it. So I'm going to try and try and try again until I can figure out how to wear this shirt.

Sometimes, Love Hurts.
