Winter repeats.

Vero Moda top (via The Bay); American Apparel leggings; Forever 21 shoes; Aldo scarf

This is pretty much a repeat outfit from last year with different shoes and a different scarf.
What can I say, it's a favourite. It's simple. It's cozy with a bit of cute. It's the perfect way to keep warm.

INDIGO.

Winners sweater; Dynamite jegging; Forever 21 shoes; Call it Spring scarf

I was on a mission to find high-waisted, indigo jeggings. I hate wearing a belt and I just wanted some pants that required no fuss. With a gift card and cash from my birthday, I was ready to drop some serious $$ on a great pair of designer jeans. Well, I tried a bunch on, and none were quite "right".

Defeated, I walked into Dynamite and saw these high-waisted pants. I thought to myself, there's no way.... But alas, they were perfect. The real test was how they'd hold up after a few wears.

Three outfits later and no washing, I can say they STILL hold up above my hips without a belt. Even though they have a generous stretch (giving them that jegging feel), the waist hasn't bagged out. Hallelujah! Now, not sure how these will wash since I haven't tried yet, but for about 1/4 of the price of designer jeans, I'm pretty satisfied so far :)

Also these shots are a couple weeks old.. It is now a winter wonderland and there's no way my bare ankles would survive!

FALL: KNITS.

Forever 21 sweater; Gap jeans; Walmart moccasins

I love that my hair changes colour in almost every photo I post. Here it looks red. In a recent post it looked blonde. But really it's brown. It's like a chameleon on my head. I just hope it doesn't turn green or something one day.

In other fun facts, I've been enjoying knits. Especially since this weekend its barely above zero and anytime I go outside I want to shrivel up..

Last summer outfits.

Forever 21 top; American Eagle jeans; Target sandals; Fossil watch

My coworker said it best. It's time for us to pull together as many final summer outfits as we can before it's too late. I know I'm antsy for fall, but I can't help but take this summer style out for another spin.

I was out with Marianna again last night taking more photos of her fall products. As you know, since I haven't shut up about it for like a week, I'm beyond excited for her new store launch. Anyways, this is the outfit I wore for our little photo shoot. Which was great. Until some old guy on rollerblades stalked us for five minutes. Cool dude, cool. We really aren't that exciting.

In other news, I'm off to Sudbury this weekend to spend some quality time with some friends. It'll be quiet around here without my computer, but I will definitely be back next Tuesday. Don't miss me too much! Kidding... please miss me so I feel good about myself? ... Kidding! ... or am I?
Well, now this is awkward..

BYEEEE.

More black & white.

Forever 21 skirt; Call it Spring sandals; Old Navy tank

I hope everyone had a nice summer weekend. Mines was filled with a couple great coffee dates, endless episodes of Modern Family, and a couple hours of enjoying the sunshine. It was low-key, but it was just what I needed.

What did you do this weekend?

Coral + stripes + white pants + leopard print.

Forever 21 tank; American Eagle jeans; Payless shoes; GAP bag

Special thanks to this guy for taking his sweet time getting on his bike. 

Thanks for not staring at me. I can tell because you were in every single picture looking away. 

On purpose? Probably.

Does it make me a creeper if I just took 30 photos of this dude by accident?

Happy Friday!!

Lounge outfit + today's thoughts.

Forever 21 crop top; American Eagle pants; Tom's shoes

You know those things that you have to do, but you don't want to.

You're scared of opening up a can of worms, releasing what might be sealed tight beneath.

But what if that can of worms has been begging to be opened? 

Maybe you just couldn't see it until now?

Take control. In the end, you'll be glad you did.

On a lighter note, if I could wear anything for the rest of my life, this would probably be it.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeee! Happy Wednesday!

Breezy for the beach.

Forever 21 top; Winners shorts; Toms shoes

Quick and breezy beach outfit from the other day. 

Apparently I have a thing for crop tops right now.
And short shorts.

Coral and pink.

Joe Fresh cardigan; H&M tank; Forever 21 cropped pants, belt, necklace; Call it spring shoes

Just a work outfit. I love these pants - they're the perfect high waist. Right below my belly button, but fitting perfectly 100% of the way up. Nice work on these, Forever 21. You did good.

Do you have a pair of pants, that despite all odds, are a favourite?

Clearance finds.

Old Navy maxi dress; Forever 21 belt; Payless flats; Fossil watch

No idea why that first photo, and the 70 other photos turned out blurry. Whatever, just go with it.

I bought this maxi the other day after a long hunt for a plain black one. Found it at Old Navy. Originally $32, on sale for $17 and then an additional 20% off. Sweet, I like deals. I felt a little like this:

Yup, that about sums it up.

p.s. sorry I haven't been able to visit everyone's blogs over the past few days. Things have been hectic and it doesn't look like it's slowing down yet... I haven't decided that I hate you or something... :)

Nautical pencil skirts.

Forever 21 skirt; Joe fresh striped top; Forever 21 belt; Payless flats

I instagrammed this outfit last week. Then it snowed on Friday and I realized I'd be taking photos of this re-created outfit in the snow. At least my flats held it together.

I love the nautical vibes of the stripes and the red belt. And this jersey pencil skirt from Forever 21 is one of my favourite buys probably ever. For $12 it's lasted a heck of a long time.

Winter knits in Spring.

Sweater: Forever 21; Pants: American Eagle; Shoes: Aldo; Sunnies: Dynamite

I was on Twitter and someone asked if it was possible to transition winter knits into spring. My thought? Of course! I've stocked up on knits this winter, and although I don't want more snow, I'm not ready to give them up yet. They're perfect for those warm days with a cool breeze.

So how do I work this transition item? I pair it with spring-y pieces of course! Boyfriend or distressed jeans are great to keep the outfit casual. I wore oxfords here, but you could throw in a pair of heels of you want to spice things up a bit. Lastly, put on your fav sunnies and you're good to go. I also rolled up the sleeves on the knit, mostly because I like to cuff everything I wear (see jeans also).

Will you be transitioning your knits into spring?

Crayola.

This outfit makes me feel a bit like a crayon.

I think I'm channeling spring with this one.

I better be channeling spring.
Not sure how much cold I can do before I shrivel up and die.

TGIF! 

Guilty pleasures.

All this time I've hated uggs and ugg-like-boots. Hated them.

Until my place-of-work carried their own version of them.

I was asked to try them for fit.

And they were incredible. 

I felt like I was walking on clouds.

There was no turning back.

I still think they're ugly as hell. But on days like today, when it's cold and freshly snowy,

they're the perfect thing to keep my feet cozy and warm.

Stripes & dots.

I've had this stupid headache for two days now and it won't go away.

I promise to catch up on your blogs when I don't feel like my screen is piercing my eyeballs. 

I better not being coming down with some other sickness; I just got over my cold.

Give me a break world! 

The inevitable.

I caught a cold.
It was inevitable.
Please pray that it doesn't turn into the crazy flu going around.
Or that it doesn't become a sinus infection.

Oh please.

Patchwork pants.

Why is it that I'm completely drawn to ripped, destroyed and patched jeans?

Happy weekend!

Poncho.

Poncho: Ardene's

Pants: American Eagle

That's gotta count for something.

Pink pants.

Belt, necklace: Forever 21

Know what's exciting? 

Finding out you can fit a pair of girls pants.

There was no snow. Then there was snow. Now there's no snow again.
Make up your mind, weather.
