Ruffled.

My love of the ruffle skirt started when Blair of Atlantic-Pacific rocked hers, a bold red-on-red  ensemble that was genius (as is everything she does, in my humble opinion). After that, one of my other instagram favorites, Pretttylittlelayers, was also killing me with her ruffled, gingham number. So, when I saw this beauty on the sale rack at J. Crew...I almost ran to it! Seriously. It was definitely a fast walk. I paired the embroidered lace top with it, channeling some Dolce & Gabbana vibes, and I couldn't be happier how it turned out! Thanks to my boo, Jenna, of The Nourished Vibe for snapping some pics for me as I twirled around Fort Langley. Thanks girl! Now I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled for inspo from other fashionistas, and see what other outfits I can dream up with this skirt.  Tell me, what would you pair with this skirt??

 Skirt: J. Crew (also cute). Top: Forever21 (thrifted) (similar, cute). Shoes: GoJane (so many cute alternatives! one, two, three, and these would have been cute too!). Purse: Vintage (similar, this would be cute too). Sunglasses: random market purchase (similar).

Graphic Suede

Hey guys! We've been lucky out here on the west coast of Canada - we have been having some really fabulous fall weather. When the conditions are right (mid day + direct sun) you can even get away with wearing a t-shirt like I did here.  So remember in my last blog post when I mentioned that I had found some great fall finds at the thriftstore? Yah, this skirt is one of them. I don't know if you can tell from the photos but it's suede - a huge trend for this season. I think the color really makes this piece stand out for me. Instead of a traditional neutral (black, camel) this shade let me take the suede in a different direction. I took a graphic approach with this particular look and I loved it! For the cooler weather I am thinking a black turtle neck and over-sized scarf if I want to play up another graphic look. If I am having a preppy day, I might pair it with a blue and white striped top and denim jacket. I love all the possibilities. Oh and did I mention it was only $17 and real suede? Well...now I did! Hahaha.
