Yet Another Skirt

Tee: Alternative Apparel, skirt: Forever 21, tights: Urban Outfitters, booties: Madden girl, bag: Coach, pendant: homemade.

It would be an understatement to say that I've been practically living in skirts this winter. The skirts that I'm too shy to wear in the summer for fear of the wind causing an accidental wardrobe malfunction have now become my go to pieces to wear with tights this winter. I dressed this little F21 number down with a basic tee and minimal jewellery on this particular occasion. It was perfect for meeting the girls for a couple of drinks earlier this week.

Florals in the Winter

Tank: Forever 21, skirt: Forever 21, blazer: Urban Outfitters, tights: Urban Outfitters, booties: Urban outfitters, riding boots: Frye, necklace: ? (old).

I just realized that I'm wearing a lot of pieces from Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters in this post. I guess this makes sense since they are two of my favourite stores. I picked up this cute floral skirt last week to wear out for drinks on my birthday. I couldn't decide which boots to wear, so I've posted photos of both pairs. I always thought the rule was the shorter the skirt, the taller your boots should be, but I decided to break the rules and went with the booties. What do you think?

Feeling Blue

Blouse: Forever 21, denim leggings: J Brand, handbag: Coach, boots: Frye, necklace: ? (0ld).

I picked up this blue blouse this weekend at Forever 21 during my Black Friday shopping spree. I did manage to find most of the items on my wishlist, which I was thrilled with. I didn't have this specific top on my wishlist, but I was looking for feminine blouses and this fit the bill. Stay tuned in the next week for more of my Black Friday finds. Have a great weekend!

Remixed Pink Sequins

Top: Forever 21, blazer: Silence and Noise, denim leggings: J Brand, boots: Frye, necklace: Forever 21.

I first wore this sequin top here, and have since found many new ways to remix it. Here is the most recent way that I've worn this versatile top. I wore it to work to add a touch of femininity to an otherwise dark coloured outfit.

Just Peachy

Dress: Topshop, blazer: Silence and Noise, tights: Forever 21, necklace: Guess (old), boots: Frye.

I picked up this dress from Topshop on sale a couple of months ago but hadn't had a chance to wear it until recently. I've never owned a dress that is quite this feminine but I'm liking it. I toughened up the look with leather boots and a boyfriend blazer.

Coral Crush

Top: Michael Kors, skirt: Topshop, blazer: Silence and Noise, tights: Hue, wedges: Steve Madden, necklace: Forever 21, sunglasses: Oliver Peoples.

When I first laid eye on these coral tights, I wasn't sure if I was brave enough to wear a pair of tights in such a vibrant colour. I decided to give them a try and see if I could pull them off. I paired them with an otherwise monocromatic outfit and they provided a fun pop of colour. Next up: mustard coloured tights!

Sub-lime

Dress: Glam, blazer: Silence & Noise, flats: Coach, necklace: Forever 21, tights: Urban Outfitters.

I'm definitely loving shift dresses this season. They are just so comfortable and look great with opaque tights and flats. The best part is that they are forgiving when you've eaten a big dinner! I picked up this cute lime dress on Hautelook for a steal of $17! It was the perfect dress to wear to a work function on Friday night.

Ruffles and Roses

Dress: Topshop, tights: Forever 21, ballet flats: Coach, necklace: Forever 21, sunglasses: Oliver Peoples.

As I mentioned here I've been trying to incorporate more muted, soft colours into my wardrobe. I realized that I have a tendency to gravitate toward prints and bright colours, but after seeing other bloggers rocking outfits in shades of peach, soft pink and cream, I've decided to give it a try.

I couldn't be happier with this Topshop ruffle shift dress. I find it to be really comfortable and figure-flattering at the same time, and the tiered ruffles make it so feminine. I'm definitely going to be looking for more dresses in this shape for fall.

Mellow Yellow

Top: Forever 21, denim leggings: J Brand, flats: Frye, watch: Citizen, pendant: Urban Outfitters.

It would be an understatement to say that I've been living in ballet flats since my knee surgery. I technically can walk in heels; but I think I would rather not risk having to go through the whole surgery experience again. So for the next few weeks I am going to be religiously wearing flats. These Frye ballet flats are probably my favourite pair I own; they are ridiculously comfortable, they add a fun pop of colour to any outfit, and yellow is just one of those colours that makes me smile!

I Want it Now: Fall Cravings

I've done a fair bit of fall shopping already and checked a few trendy items off my wish list including a sequin blazer, a faux leopard coat, an olive green military jacket, chunky wedges and a faux leather biker jacket. However, my "list" never quite seems to end. Here are a few of the items I've been drooling over this week. I'm especially loving the wool fedora and the leather shift dress (not that I can justify the price, but I can always dream, right?)

Top Row:
Anthropologie Discovered Lace Dress, $188.
Topshop Sheer Sleeve Smock Dress, $100.
Topshop Leather Tunic Dress, $310.

Middle Row:
Topshop Oversized Jumper by Boutique, $125.
Alice + Olivia Evan Sequin Striped Hoodie, $368.
Topshop Knitted Aran Cardigan, $100.

Bottom Row:
Forever 21 Banded Wool Fedora, $17.80.
Forever 21 Wool Blend Shorts, $17.80.
Topshop Salt Pepper A-Line Skirt, $70.
See by Chloe Park Tweed Skirt, $168.

Sequins and Satin

Dress: Love 21, blazer: Matty M, pendant: Urban Outfitters, watch: Citizen, heels: vintage Salvatore Ferragamo (thrifted).

After searching for a sequined piece to add to my fall wardrobe for a few weeks, I was able to pick up this slouchy blazer on HauteLook for a reasonable price. Although I love the look of some of the gold and silver sequined pieces out there, I was drawn to this copper blazer because it is a little more subdued. I plan to wear it over and over this fall because it is so versatile and can be worn day or night.
