Blue Jean Baby...

It's slowly starting to warm up here in Western Canada, and all I want to do is wear dresses! However...it's not quite that warm enough so, I had to do a little wardrobe compromise and I really like how this outfit turned out. I took a simple jean dress and toughened (and warmed) it up with my flat, thigh-high boots and my moto jacket. I love my little red, quilted purse for a pop of colour, so it was an obvious choice for this outfit.

Trend to Try: Culottes

I was pretty stoked to find these fun, affordable culottes at Forever21 recently. I had found myself pinning lots of looks with them, but I wasn't quite ready to try the trend until I found these, and at $30 I couldn't say no to this fun update to my spring wardrobe. On this day, I dressed them up for a dinner out with a few classic pieces: a silky, button-up white blouse and leather moto jacket (two items I believe should be in every women's closet...just sayin'). I added some heels and an animal print clutch - ta da! I think I am going to have a lot of fun with these pants; for my next outfit I am picturing something a little more casual, maybe flatforms and crop tops? sneakers and a white T? I love the versatility!
