Peek-a-boo.

This post was originally going to be all about this high slit tunic top and my struggle to style it (and I will get to that eventually) but after looking at these pictures for my blog post, all I want to talk about is my new hair! I LOVE IT! I've never felt quite this moved after a hair cut. This haircut makes me feel like a new person - a bolder, cooler person :p Heck, maybe it even inspired this bolder fashion choice I made. Right, so back to the top! Where to start...I wasn't quite sold on this high slit trend I had been seeing until I found this piece. Its clean lines and minimalist style appealed to me right away and I could picture layering it for the fall (at this late in the summer, pieces have to be justified by their ability to be worked into my fall wardrobe) but first I had to figure out how I'd wear it in summer. Cue the Pinterest research and this is where we ended up! I quite liked this outfit, especially the little peek of skin on the side. It felt sexy in an understated, not-tryin-too-hard kinda way...just like my hair! Have you guys ever got a haircut that changed your whole attitude about yourself??

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...
