A Pop of Print

If you were to compare my older sister’s closet to mine a couple years ago, you would have noticed that hers is filled with vibrant colors and different variations of prints. As for mine, I might as well have been named “Plain Jane” since I always played it safe by shopping for neutral tones and solid colors. I’ve sort of envied her and my younger sister (who has followed in her fashion footsteps) for being so bold with their fabric choices and accessories. Although over the years, I’ve learned to draw some fashion inspiration from their wardrobes and it has encouraged me to incorporate more bold colors and prints into my outfits.

Therefore, I now say with confidence that there’s nothing I love more than a good ornate print. Whether it’s of fruits, interlocking chains, or animals – a bit of print is guaranteed to provide visual interest and make your outfit pop!

Prom Fever

Jacket (Nom De Plume by YAYA), Bustier Top (Bebe), Skirt (H&M), Clutch (BCBGeneration), Heels (Steve Madden)

With prom season just around the corner, I was inspired to put together an outfit catering towards a 'prom look'. For those that haven't found your perfect prom dress yet, have you considered putting one together yourself? For example, as I did with this outfit by pairing a bustier top with a skater skirt (not too bad, right?) By putting together your own prom dress, you can reassure yourself that you won't be stuck with a dress worn only once. Instead, you can recycle these pieces for a different outfit which means you'll get your moneys worth! Wouldn't you agree?

Happy first day of Spring everyone :)

Peplum on Peplum

Peplum Top & Blazer (H&M), Denim Pants (Urban Behavior), Flats (Aldo), Ring (Forever 21), 
Nail Polish (You Don't Know Jacques by OPI)

As you can see, the weather in Vancouver this past weekend was perfect! I know... I'm always babbling on about the weather but it's very important to me because 1. it determines what I should wear and 2. I'm in dire need of some more Vitamin D in my life (seriously, you can never have too much sunshine). So back on track, call me a fashion repeat offender if you insist. But I decided to wear my peplum pieces again - this time I styled it more casually by pairing it with ripped jeans. And honestly, I can't seem to remember the last time I wore denim pants. I do know for a fact that I won't be wearing these ones again until I replace the zippers (pretty sure all of Vancouver saw my pink knickers - oops sorry)!

Time to catch some zZz's. Goodnight :)

Asymmetrical Skirt

Top & Cardigan (Zara), Skirt (Forever 21), Wedges (Aldo), Scarf (H&M)

The weather in Vancouver has been gorgeous this past weekend and even though it was quite chilly out, at least the skies were clear! Therefore, I couldn't resist myself and brought out this asymmetrical skirt I bought last year but had never worn. As much as I love this outfit pairing of a heavy Winter wool cardigan with a Spring/Summer skirt, I can't wait to be able to wear it with just a plain white tee. In addition, since I'm not 5"9... wearing heels with this skirt is mandatory for little ol' me. 

I hope you're all having a happy Monday!
