Vested Interests

The sun is peaking out here and there in my part of the world, but it's still pretty chilly out. Not only were all these light layers weather appropriate but they were super comfy and cute...obviously. I love finding new ways of wearing this trench vest. Seriously, it's one of my favourite items of clothing. To any ladies looking to mix up their wardrobe, I highly suggest something along this line. It's only one piece and it will change up your entire wardrobe - such a great return for a little investment. It'll be a great layering piece as we come into spring. Oh man, I am so excited for spring. I've been reading all the spring issues of the style magazines and I feel so inspired! I am ready to wear dresses and sandals again, who's with me?!

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!
