LBD: Long Blue Dress

I am loving the cami/lingerie inspired dress silhouettes I've been seeing this summer. I fell in love with this Old Navy maxi version. I loved it so much, I bought it in two colours! In all fairness, there was a sale and I had some coupons :p This was my first styling of it, it was for my birthday dinner. I think the cami/lingerie style makes the dress feel a little bit sexy, so it's perfect for a date outfit. I wanted to keep the easy, flowy feeling of the dress with a long pendant necklace and dainty natural stone necklace. I kept the sandals flat and natural, but still a little glam with the gold accent. The soft, folded black clutch, I chose because it kept with the unstructured nature of the outfit. I felt comfortable and gorgeous all evening! What do you think about this silhouette for dresses?

After all that serious posing, I had to have a little fun...

Inner Bohemian

I find it very hard to define my "style". I could never pick one look and wear it forever. I guess that's one of my favorite things about fashion: I can change up my look every single day. Maybe I want to be preppy one day, with lots of structure and clean lines, but the next day I can be free and float-y and bohemian. And my inner bohemian has a thing for pantsuits. Seriously. They always catch my eye when I see them in stores and I couldn't say no to this one. I loved the print and the flow-y legs. I think the pantsuit can be a little intimidating, maybe because it's a little outside one's comfort zone, but it's soooo easy to wear. Top and bottom, BAM! Instant outfit :) I wanted this look to be casual, so I paired it with some easy, neutral wedges and the infamous jean jacket.

Breezy Blue

 I live for the few sneaky days of sunshine that we are getting teased with! I am so ready to dive into my summer wardrobe. Here I paired some of my all time summer favourites, jean jacket and wedges, with a breezy blue dress in a shape I don't normally sport. I loved the fresh colour and pattern of the dress, but I usually favour dresses with a more defined waistline. The jacket was an easy way to create the definition at the waist I like. Then I just warmed the palette up with some neutral accessories. Oh yah! And I also got my haircut! It's a lot shorter (for me) and I love it so far. What do you think?

My phone would not stop ringing during our photoshoot :)
