Going out.

This is just a simple outfit that I wore out the other night. These leggings are amazing. They look like leather, but they're not; they have a super faint snakeskin print that you can't see; and they are really light-weight so if you're in a hot spot, they won't keep in the heat like leather would.

I spent the night at a city bar for a charity fundraiser. Bands were playing and I was in the company of some good friends. Its nice to have nights out with friends, especially now that I'm living with my parents again. I really miss the company of other people my age.

Today I'm linking up with Kayla's 10-day challenge! I don't have many fashion fears, but it took guts to wear these pants! They attract attention, that's for sure - they're so shiny!

A Faux-Pas.

Busted.

This has got to be a fashion blogger faux-pas: wearing the same pants two posts in a row. Sometimes we can get away with it because they're basics like black or denim, but these green ones are a little more obvious. I didn't want to, but when Kayla's prompt was for a group "Open to Interpretation", I had to. This was the best way for me to interpret the outfit that she gave. Which was this: 

Now you can see why the green pants were mandatory - they're nearly the same colour! Also I have no fun and colourful pencil skirts...Here's my interpretation:

Winners jeans; Old Navy sweater; F21 blouse & belt; Sirens booties

I took a more casual approach to the dressier picture that she posted, but you guys have no idea how much I wish I could go bare-legged right now!  Check out how the others interpreted the group OTI!

Green Monster.

These pants were the other colour that I picked up on my Winners shopping trip a couple weekends back. This is how I styled 'em. Please ignore the paleness in my skin, I really need a vacation somewhere sunny and warm:

Dynamite shirt; F21 shirt, blazer, accessories; Winners jeans; Payless boots

Today I'm linking up with Kayla's 10-day winter challenge. She has us all wearing bright colours! I love brights during the winter time. I have a hard time wearing very muted and dull colours - they make me feel less inspired. How do you feel about winter colour?

Follow me here to check out the rest of the participants! Feel free to link up with Kayla too if you're also wearing brights!

Subtle Pattern Mixing.

How to mix patterns and keep it subtle: 

Smart Set jacket & necklace; Joe Fresh top; Old Navy button-down; AE jeans; Spring boots

When I thought of this idea, I felt like a genius. I wasn't sure how to tackle Kayla's pattern mixing challenge because I didn't really feel like wearing any "in-your-face" patterns or mixes.  I feel like this subtle mix of gingham and stripes is simple, but still enough.

Can I just take a moment to brag about this jacket? It was $11. That is all.

Time to go check out all of the other pattern-mixers! Maybe you should too?!

The Real Red Pants.

I was going to start this post off writing about my 'red pants debut', but then I realized, I've already posted a red-pants-outfit before. However, those ones had to go back to where they came from, and I was left red-pant-less again. Until very recently...

Winners jeans; Dynamite button-down; Costco blazer; F21 accessories; Aldo sunglasses

Thank you Winners! You are wonderful. I often search your racks for hours trying to find a hidden gem, but today I didn't have to. Today you had these red pants out on display for all to see. You saved me a great deal of time, and a great deal of money. I got these babies for $19.99!

...I also got another colour, but you guys will find out which one in time. ;)

Again, I linked up this post with Kayla's (from Freckles in April) winter challenge. Today it's trends, so I thought my coloured denim would fit in quite nicely with the prompt. C'mon and check the rest of the trendy folk out!

Sweater on sweater.

So... when these outfit pics were taken it was -27 C with the windchill.   I should be given an award for withstanding these temperatures just for you guys... ;) Just kidding, I do this because it's fun (somehow even in the cold...).  

But these subzero temps explain the choice in dress: sweater over sweater over flannel. Yup, that's about the only way to keep warm these days! With this outfit, I'm linking up with Freckles in April's 10 Day Challenge. Today it's Layers. 

Zellers knit sweater; F21 flannel and shirt; AE jeans; Payless boots

I wanted to participate in this challenge last time - it was 21 days of different challenges and prompts, but I forgot partway through and then decided to forget it altogether. But this time I'm hoping to link up with at least half! The prompts aren't to difficult, so if you're interested you should link up too!

Thanks for stopping by today! I'm off to visit the other layer-ers now!
