Looking Smart

There's nothing quite like having an always elegantly dressed colleague tell you that your wearing such smart look. Honestly, it made my afternoon!

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?

Spotted Pencil

Sweater - Zara; Blouse - H&M; Skirt - Forever 21; Boots - Aldo

I didn't mean to go shopping; I just needed to kill a little time while waiting for a friend. Somehow I ended up on the Forever 21 website, and as soon as I saw this navy blue polka dot pencil skirt, I knew it had to be mine. I mean it's polka dots, it's a pencil skirt; I couldn't figure out how I didn't already own such a piece. 

From the moment it arrived, I've been so excited to wear it with everything I own. It's only been in my closet for a couple of days, but I can already tell it's going to be a long and lasting love. 

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!

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.

A Snowy Expedition

Sweater - Zara; T-shirt - Old Navy; Tank - Smart Set; Pants - Joe Fresh;
Boots - Steve Madden; Watch - Fossil

Friday, the snow started to fall before I woke up and it didn't stop falling until well after I went to bed. As beautiful and angelic as it looked from inside my apartment/at the office, walking in it was less than fun. To make my daily trek to work, I thought it was only appropriate to dress as though I was going on an expedition. My ensemble may have been more safari than arctic tundra, but I thought it worked for trudging through the snow.

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.
