Currently Wearing: Prints

My favourite trend of the moment has to be printed pants. It’s one trend that I am definitely happy to have around and I’m loving this pair that I bought from LOFT. Blazer, Print Pants – LOFT; Top, Bracelets – Smart Set; Smoking Flats – TOPSHOP; Earrings – Forever 21; Bag – Nella Bella Brand Print from LOFT pants; Bracelets from Smart Set Not only is this pair of printed pants a great addition to my office wardrobe, but it can be dressed up for events after work as well. To take this look from day-to-night I would change up my flats for a pair of heels, and switch my bag for a clutch and I’ll be set. Here are a few things I like to keep in mind when I wear this trend: I like to pair my prints with neutral tops for a balanced look,I’m not too comfortable with mixing patterns just yet, but I’ll get there!

Currently Wearing – A Touch Of Tweed

Jacket & Shoes – J.Crew; Necklace – Banana Republic; Shirt – Suzy Shier; Khakis – GAP; Watch – Swatch (vintage); Earrings – Honey I feel like I need more structured pieces in my wardrobe. The older (yes I’m bring up the subject of age) I get, the more my tastes change. That’s expected right? Flow-y fabrics are fun, but not necessarily for an office environment. Although it does depend on how these types of fabrics are worn and what they are paired with. This particular outfit was worn on a Friday when things get a little more casual. Regardless, I still like to keep my outfits looking professional and that’s where my J.Crew tweed jacket comes in handy! I don’t particularly like wearing jeans, I prefer Khakis or Chinos (which are basically the same thing).

Currently Wearing AND Carrying – Sunny rays on dreary days!

I wish Mother Nature would make up her mind. As I write this post, it’s currently sunny outside. However, yesterday that wasn’t the case. The Don Valley Parkway flooded, there were tornadoes wreaking havoc south of us in the States and it was just not an overly pleasant day weather-wise. But regardless of what the weather is like, my trench coat for this spring/summer season is almost like a big…slap in the face! Just because it’s dark outside doesn’t mean that my clothing choices should follow suit! Luckily I was wearing and carrying clothing and a bag that got me through the day! I love my Nella Bella Brand Rumex bag ! It hasn’t left my side since my friends at Nella Bella Brand sent it to me! Give a girl who loves bags easy access to them and you get a dangerously-fashionable combination! See what I wore on one of the rainiest days of the season: Trench-Coat – Banana Republic; Cardigan – LOFT; Tank-top – H&M; Pants – GAP; Shoes – Buffalo; Bag c/o …
