Saturday I went thrifting with my friend Kelly from Sweet Kelly Anne (she is also a stylist). I usually like to go shopping solo, but with Kelly it was a total breeze. I felt like we had the entire store to ourselves as we perused the racks. I found the cutest chambray dress, a girlie coral dress, and a pair of tri-colored sandals. I have been looking for a chambray dress, and this one is made out of the softest material and hangs just right.

I am obsessed with this outfit! It is a simple look, but I love it. I have been searching for the perfect stripe tee. I found this beauty at my favorite store J.Crew and I couldn’t be happier. I want it in every color. The weight of the material is just right and the silhouette is not too boxy. These shoes were love at first sight. I almost died when I spotted them. Ballerina shoes in a pale pink suede, what’s not to like!

Thank you so much for reading. See you Thursday!

My husband and I are going to Victoria B.C. for my birthday weekend. I am looking forward to checking out the Butchart Gardens and tea at The Fairmount Empress. It will be our first time visiting, and we are excited!

For this look I paired my favorite jeans with a simple knit. I love the flowy hem and flattering silhouette. This is a sweater that I wear often. The necklace was a previous birthday gift from my sister-in-law. I remember the story of how she tried to find the perfect gift. She did a great job and I love it.

Have a good weekend. Thanks for reading!

I typically lay low on the weekends, but this one was a bit different and a lot of fun. Most of Saturday I lounged around the house and caught up on the shows that I had missed during the week. Later that night my husband and I went bowling with my sister-in-law and her boyfriend. Afterwards, we went to this place called The Royal Unicorn. It was a total dive. There was a birthday celebration in the lounge  and the guest sang karaoke the entire night. It was very entertaining.

On Sunday, I went to brunch at The Butcher & The Baker to meet Mil and Jules from South By Northwest. This was our first time meeting and I was so nervous! The meetup went better then I could have anticipated. The food was also really good.

Now for the outfit! I am wearing a nubby texture sweater with a ruffle silk underlay. The earrings are from Banana Republic and they might just be my new favorite. The necklaces are another new purchase from the Loft.

Hope everyone’s week is off to a good start.

A Little Bit of Grunge

I am wearing a scarf! The only time I wear a scarf is with my coat to stay warm but never as an accessory. I have always liked the look but couldn’t get into it because of my broad shoulders and full chest – it added too much bulk.  After studying how others wear them, I decided that pairing one with some basics was the easiest way to pull it off.

I can’t believe the amount of times I’ve worn this blouse. I wear a lot of prints and novelty type items, so the fact that I managed to come up with three different looks wearing one blouse is astounding.

It’s almost the weekend! I can hardly believe it. Long weekends are the best, but short work weeks are even better. I hope everyone has something fun planned. See you next week and thanks for reading.
