Embellished Skirt

Coat: Express // Brooch: Chanel // Skirt: RW&CO // Boots: Call It Spring // Handbag: Michael Kors

This embellished skirt has been in my closet with the tags attached for over a year. I could never quite think of a way to wear it. The embellishments made me feel like it needed an equally dressy top. Fast forward a year and my basics this winter have been a cycle of turtlenecks and these boots. Then I had a eureka moment. Dress the damn skirt down Nadia GAWD.

Pearl Interrupted

Pastel Pops

Coat: Express // Skirt and Top Set: Express // Heels: Call It Spring // Handbag: Michael Kors

I don't know what took me so long but I am finally on the Scream Queens bandwagon. The colour scheme, the outfits, the murders, the closet - fully on board.

As much as I would love to dress like the Chanels every waking moment, something tells me that wearing pastel fur coats and feather dresses may cause a "Nadia.. what on earth are you wearing" talk at the office. Pastel pops and a pearl necklace is just my little way of releasing a subtle version of Chanel Oberlin without walking around calling everyone a trollop.. although I do that as well.. 

60's Inspired

Skirt: Michael Kors // Sweater: Smart Set (RIP) // Boots: Call It Spring // Sunglasses: Celine

What goes around comes around: a Justin Timberlake song and a great way to describe fashion. Inspiration from past decades resurrects itself all the time even after we think something is officially dead. For example, I never thought flared pants would see day light again and now I am looking through the hoarder section of the closet to see if I could find a pair. This 60's inspired skirt is no different..although I replaced the go-go boots with some OTK suede guys.

So Fluffy

It only takes one item to go from "Ugh why is it so early and why am I awake" to "Yup, I'm ready world" in the morning when you're getting dressed. On this particular day, it was this vest. SO FLUFFY!

Something happened throughout the past couple of years that made it ok to match again, from the lip to the top to the shoes to even the stripe on my bag, everything was coming up Milhouse.

It is burger week here in Halifax, which has entailed a little over indulgence over the past couple of days. Hiding under a loose sweater and an a-line skirt? Yes, pleat and thank you.

There is something about this outfit that makes me think of being a student at Constance, sitting at the steps of the met thinking of what girl to terrorize next. Instead, I went back to the Dalhousie Engineering Campus, my old stomping group, where I used to hang out..also terrorizing. I guess some dreams do come true..

Tweedheart

There are a few things that are good about the Fall and no, I'm not referring to Pumpkin Spice anything. 

1. The line between a skirt that's borderline too short all of a sudden seems ok with dark tights.

2. The incorporation of textured fabrics into your wardrobe.

I took advantage of both of these seasonal benefits in today's outfit. Although I paired the tweed-esque skirt and top combo together, you could still incorporate texture into your outfit one piece at a time.

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.

Shrunken Sweater

It's bad enough I still have to wear sweaters at the end of May so I thought a shrunken one would at least make it sting less. It didn't. I was as cold as my heart.

A high waisted skirt gives you the opportunity to wear the cropped trend at the office. The skirt does the midriff covering up job. That way, you can avoid any awkward "inappropriate work wear" conversations. Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt (the long sleeved turtle neck of course).

Girl

There is something about this outfit that made me feel like such a girl. Could it be the pale pink flowy top? Lacy heels? Or maybe it's just hormones. Needless to say, I felt estrogen-filled in all my pink bling.
