Lace Dress

Dress: Target, boots: Botkier, cardigan: Kersh, bag: Candies, necklace: ? (old), earrings: AG 925.

On Saturday night I headed out to my friend's wedding social. If you've never heard of a social before, don't worry, because apparently it is an event that is unique to Manitoba. I wore this little lace dress with opaque tights and a cardigan because it was -30 degrees celcius this weekend. I added a sparkly necklace, a studded bag and flat riding boots to complete the look.

Plaid and Leather

Shirt and skirt: Target, tights: Urban Outfitters, boots: Botkier, necklace: Hilary Druxman, belt: Banana Republic.

When I put this outfit together I decided to mix two completely different styles; the leather skirt and the plaid shirt. I wanted to dress down the skirt so I decided to pair it with a tucked in plaid shirt and flat riding boots. The result was a unique outfit that in my opinion can be worn anywhere because it is both dressy and casual at the same time.

Nautical Stripes

Top: Forever 21, denim leggings: Lauren Conrad for Kohl's, boots: Botkier, necklace: ? (old).

I decided to take some time off over the holiday season to relax and spend time with family. After a much needed break, I'm back at blogging. I'm looking forward to catching up on blog reading in the next couple of days. I finally had a chance this weekend to take photos of some of the outfits I've worn recently. I had been looking for a nautical striped top for some time now and finally came across this one at Forever 21. I love how it's loose, slouchy, casual and super comfortable.

Leopard and Suede

Skirt: Forever 21, top: Gap, tights: Hue, boots: Botkier, belt: Charlotte Russe, necklace: homemade, scarf: Express.

I picked up this cute little suede skirt on Black Friday and have been wearing it like it's going out of style ever since. On this occasion I decided to keep it casual by pairing it with a plain black t-shirt and flat riding boots. I decided to add a pop of colour with the hunter green tights and threw on the leopard scarf to bring out the browns and tans in my skirt and boots.

Black, White and Red All Over

Top: Tommy Hilfiger (old), blazer: Silence and Noise, denim leggings: J Brand, boots: Botkier, necklace: ? (old), pendant: gift, belt: Danier.

I was looking for a pop of colour to brighten up this dark ensemble and stumbled upon this red and white shirt from a few years ago. I probably haven't worn it for over a year, but when I threw it on with this outfit it seemed like a brand new top to me. Since entering the blogging world I've been inspired to shop my closet more often and mix and match new and old pieces. I love having a photographic catalogue of all of the outfits I've worn which helps me create new and unique outfits in the future. Have you been inspired to shop your closet?

Fall Staples

Cardigan: Joe Fresh, t-shirt: LAMade, denim leggings: J Brand, boots: Botkier, pendant: Hilary Druxman, necklace: ? (old), sunglasses: Oliver Peoples.

Do you have an item in your closet that you just couldn't live without? That's how I feel about these boots. I usually swear by Frye boots, but I took a chance on these Botkier boots on an end of season sale last year and couldn't be happier. The rich chocolate brown leather is buttery soft and I love how they are slim and sleek but have a touch of toughness with the metal chain. I practically live in outfits like throughout fall and winter: drapey cardigans, denim leggings, and riding boots. What are your favourite fall staples?
