Cheeky

Sweater: Splurge // Skirt: Splurge // Heels: Aldo // Socks: My childhood

If you're going to wear a pink skirt set that boldly says "Cheeky" on it, you've got to commit to the whole look. That includes socks and heels and an Ariana Grande hairstyle. And when someone compares your outfit to something Elle Woods would wear, you can safely feel great about your day's choices.

My workout routine is criticized a lot when I disclose that I don't workout my shoulders at all. I'm just a girl who enjoys the weak look, is that so bad?? A benefit of going straight from neck to arm? Off the shoulders sweaters just fall so effortlessly. 

No Pants Party

 Sweater: Joe Fresh // Heels: Aldo

The comparison between the weather today and my -45 weekend made it feel like a glorious Spring day. It was back to sweater weather, and strictly just a sweater weather.

I feel quite nautical in this outfit, but let's skip the foreplay and discuss what's really important here - the Jimmys. These shoes caused more of a debate in my mind than Donald Trump. The great debate of heel height, 100m or 120mm? 

There is something about a higher heel that just makes me feel better, you feel taller, somehow skinnier and maybe even a tad more powerful. But when do you put that aside for a touch of comfort and practicality? And yes, I am calling the 4 inch option "practical". Well friends, for quite possibly the first time ever, I went with the lower heel. The verdict? Extreme comfort!

Athletic-inspired fashion is officially a "thing" lately, friends. From wearing jerseys as dresses to varsity jackets, the options are limit-less. Wearing a baseball cap is not only an easy simple way to join the trend, it'll also take care of a bad hair day! Keep it simple with a v-neck and boyfriend jeans but vamp it up with heels and a red lip and you're all set.

Now you still have one question in mind - where does this leave tear away pants? Still just in my heart..

Hit the Pavement

There are two things that make me feel accomplished, a solid process map and a great list. I've mentioned my "Thing to do before 30" list on the blog before, but there has been an addendum added. It's the "materialistic things to own before 30", which may be superficial of me but is just as important as the other list! 

A couple of months ago during a business trip to London is when I got to check off one of those items, the infamous red soles. On this spring day, they have hit the pavement.

Pleat and Thank You

Sweater - Tibi

Skirt - Club Monaco

Shoes - Call It Spring

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. 

Leather Weather

Wearing head to toe black can come across a little Wednesday Adams at times. It's those extra little details that make you look less like you're on your way to hang out with Lurch. The faux-leather pockets on this sweater do just that! 

Also, these jeggings have quickly pitched a tent in my "go-to" items section since I grabbed them at Rickis recently. I don't know how I can ever go back to wearing pants with buttons and zippers.

If I had a dime for every time someone asked me why half my shirt was out today, I would probably only have 50 cents actually. I could buy nothing with that.

All of the Stripes

I've got more lines on me than Lindsay Lohan on a Saturday night.

The trick with mixing stripes is to to mix a bolder stripe with a subtle stripe. In this case, the sweater's thin stripes in dark shades act like the neutral in the outfit. Keep the shoe simple and you're all set.

Office Tees

There are so many things that are "frowned upon" at the office; overalls, thigh high boots, chaps, sombreros. When will these rules end, people?? However, every now and then, an item of clothing that's usually saved for Casual Fridays can sneak its way into a Monday - the tee. Pairing a t-shirt with a dressier skirt and heels makes it totally work appropriate. There is no need to try to dress it up more with bold jewelry, keep it simple with some delicate chains. 

If a co-worker dares to call you out on your casualness, here are some quick quips that are sure to shut them up:

"YOU'RE casual"

"But look how great my hair looks!"

"Your mom went to college"

Brilliant Earth: Personality Style Challenge

Brilliant Earth: Personality Style Challenge by n-daj 

How would you describe your style?

Are you...

A blue jeans and tee kind of girl?

Drawn to floral, feminine styles, and patterns?

Glamorous and into stilettos and glitter?

Minimalist, no-nonsense elegant style?

Into vintage dresses and thrift store shopping?

Strive to be on the cutting edge?

For me? Well, it depends on the day! Except maybe the thrift store option.. But I can't say that my style really has a definition. I just wear what I like! And as I'm picking out my dress for a dinner tonight, I'm feeling "into stilettos and glitter" so that's what I chose to style for the Brilliant Earth Style Challenge.

What kind of girl are you?
