Transition to Fall


Dress: Kensie, tights: Topshop, cardigan: Joe Fresh, belt: Charlotte Russe, boots: Botkier, pendant: Hilary Druxman.

The weather here has been warmer than average for most of October, but when the sun goes down or the wind picks up it can be quite chilly, so I've been dressing in layers most days. I last wore this dress here, and added a cozy cardigan and boots to make the dress more appropriate for cooler weather.

I'm challenging myself this fall to stick to a budget in terms of clothing shopping, so I've been trying to stretch my wardrobe by remixing my clothes in as many ways as possible. It's been fun and challenging at the same time, and I now realize that I can live with buying way less clothing than I may have in the past. I've been fairly successful at sticking to buying only items on my wishlist, as opposed to impulse buying.

Do you stick to a strict budget for shopping?

Purple + Pattern


Dress: Kensie, biker jacket: People's liberation, tights: Topshop, ballet flats: Frye, belt: Banana Republic, pendant: Hilary Druxman.

I picked up this patterned dress last spring and have been dying to pair it with some coloured opaque tights. I finally got the chance earlier this week when I paired it with purple tights and my biker jacket. I decided to go all out in terms of colour and threw on my yellow ballet flats
to complete the look.
