Blue Bomber Dot Commer

Bomber Jacket: Splurge Boutique - here // Choker Top: Dynamite // Skirt: Forever 21 // Shoes: Aldo

I may have gone around looking like a nursery that day but looking back, I still think that blue bomber is the bomb.com (or .ca - there is no discrimination over here).

Havana Nana

Kimono: Zara // Jeans: Joe's Jeans // Heels: Oscar De La Renta // Hoops: Splurge Boutique 

Something about this pattern and the hoops got me feelin' straight from Havana.

Joggers

Pants: Banana Republic // Blazer: Forever 21 // Choker: Splurge Boutique // Lipstick: Mac Russian Red // Heels: Jimmy Choo //Sunglasses: RayBan

"Track pants? On a Monday?" is how I was greeted this morning as I walked into the office. Trying to bring trends into my work wardrobe is sometimes more challenging than balancing multiple projects. I'm just a girl who doesn't want to wear black pants and blouses every day. Pairing "jogger pants", which have been sported here (pun intended), with a blazer and heels is one way to be comfortable and trendy from 9-5.

If only business process mapping was a track and field sport.. 

Tickled Pink

 Coat: Express // Dress: Diane Von Furstenberg // Heels: Aldo // Earrings: Splurge Boutique

Most girls go through a pink stage, mine just happens to be at 27.

Winterizing Ripped Denim

I love the look of ripped denim with stilettos, but on the morning after a snowstorm, the thought of anything but boots/booties was just unrealistic. This pair of jeans from the Gap is rapidly becoming my go-to pair!

Nice boa, where you going?

Recently, I have started questioning what my goals are with this blog. Am I even doing this right? I started this blog a couple of years ago merely because I just wanted to and felt like I had no hobbies. I shopped a lot but I guess that didn't quite count as a "hobby" and felt like maybe a blog was the best way to "hobbify" this non-hobby (Yes, I know I just said hobbify).

My approach to blogging has been quite lax to say the least. My day job goes far beyond the "day" and when it's hectic, the last thing I think about is going home to crop and post images so I can gain a follower or two.

My approach to taking the pictures is even more casual than posting. Taken on my iPhone (not even a 6! The horror!) typically just on my lunch break or after work and only if I can get a coworker available and willing to snap a few the same time that I'm available. It could be my naivety to the blogging world but I thought that that was just the way it goes. I was not aware of the pre-planned photo shoots and changing outfits in the car so they were all taken while your makeup and hair was still perfectly coiffed. Yes, you look great glitzed out in your boa..but where are you wearing that to?

I enjoy following bloggers for daily dressing inspiration and figuring out how to incorporate new ideas into dressing for real life. So here is me, in clothes that I actually wear all day. Am I doing this wrong? 

Sweater - Rickis

Boots - Guess 

Cat Eyed

Skirt - Banana Republic

Sweater - Opening Ceremony

Jacket - RW & Co.

Heels - Tory Burch

Sunglasses - Splurge Boutique here

A pair of sunglasses can really complete an outfit and give you a different persona. This outfit sans the sunnies is quite sweet, the pink, the bows, the sweater, it's like I'm a 12 year old on my way to read to the elderly. Add a pair of cat eye sunnies and now I'm Cruella Deville in search of a cigarette filter..and I'm into it.

Sky Blue

Skirt - Club Monaco

Top - Forever 21

Jacket - H&M

Shoes - BCBG

Necklace - Call it Spring

Cuffs - H&M

Once I'm into something, I'm reeaaally into it. For example, in my university days, I wore a bow in my hair and thigh high socks almost on a daily basis. There was a time when I decided that wasabi peas was all I needed in my life. And of course, those couple of months where I only wore animal themed rings, from parrots to whales. What am I into now? This pastel sky blue colour. I now declare you my new jam..as attested by this post only a couple of days ago.

Monochreme

Sweater - Calvin Klein

Skirt - Club Monaco

Shoes - Aldo

Sunglasses - Prada

Necklace - Forever 21

Midi Ring - Forever 21

Wearing one colour head to toe can be a little challenging, the trick? Mix up the textures! The combination of a knit sweater with a silky skirt adds enough interest to make it not boring without losing the monochrome feel. 

I look so innocent in my completely cream outfit. Little do you know that I actually kicked 5 kids beforehand.
