Transitioning Your Wardrobe From Winter To Spring Recap

I’ve spent the last 4 weeks going over ways to help you transition your closet from Winter to Spring. I don’t know about you guys but Spring is sure taking it’s sweet time arriving here!!! Weather permitting, I’ve really tried to break away from my Winter garb and start infusing some fun Spring items into my outfits. In case you’ve missed it, here are 4 great ways to help transition your wardrobe from Winter to Spring:

1. Switch your winter coat to a bright trench coat

2. Switch your knee high boots to booties

3. Switch from dark colours to bright colours

4. Switch from long pants to cropped pants

May this blog inspire you to start transitioning your winter wardrobe of dark sweaters, long sleeves, boots and jeans to brighter, shorter and lighter clothes.

Tweed, Polka Dots & Oh It’s Time For New BOOTS :(

40 Replies

I’m not sure about you, but I realize that my outfits follow a sort of pattern. Last year I was totally into layering shirts under sweaters and adding a statement necklace. This year it’s all about the blazer. Do you find yourself preferring a certain style over another? Do you find that your style changes each year?

You guessed it, today’s outfit post is all about a blazer. I can’t get enough of wearing a blazer over a graphic tee and adding some sort of sparkly necklace to it. This blazer is a navy blue tweed one with polka dot linking and has elbow patches on it. Gotta say I never thought I would wear elbow patches but I love it. I love how it adds a subtle detail to the jacket and so does the polka dot linking. When I look for what style of blazer to buy, for instance, I like to look at ones that have little subtle details that make it unique and different. I immediately fell in love with this one from the Gap.

Blazer (Gap). T-Shirt & Necklace (J Crew). Jeans (J Brand c/o Aritzia). Boots (Browns). Purse (Banana Republic).

Gotta say I’m soooooo not impressed with the quality of boots nowadays!!! I bought this pair 2 years ago and the other day, during pouring Monsoon like rain, my right foot quickly realized that the boot is no longer water proof!!!! Seriously, these boots are 2 years old, granted I do wear them a lot, but is it too much to ask for, for boots to last a little longer then 2 years?!?!?!?!? This is the second pair that this happened to. NOT IMPRESSED!!!!!! What kills me the most is that these weren’t cheap boots either. Last pair were, so I thought this time I would spend a little more, well in this case it doesn’t matter what you spend, they are all made the same, CRAP!!!! Sorry for my vent, but it does bother me that they don’t make things to last at all. The boots that I am referring to are the ones in the above outfit picture. I guess my post last week on boots, read here, will come in handy. Thankfully boots are now on sale. I can’t be the only one that this has happened to, or am I???

Thank you for listening to my rant.

May this blog inspire you to buy a fabulous blazer for Spring and/or the rest of this extremely long Winter and to find a pair of boots that won’t leak.

Boots 6 Ways

11 Replies

It’s no secret that I basically live in a variety of boots from October to April. It rains a lot here in Vancouver and it has been known to snow here at a least a few times a year, so boots, in all shapes, sizes and colours, come in very handy. Here is an example of my Hunter Boots.

Boots are not just for a casual look. You can wear boots with anything. I’ve even worn them with cropped pants and boyfriend jeans. You can wear them with dresses, skirt, jeans, dressy, casual, whatever your heart desires. Below are 6 different examples of the ways I’ve worn boots.

Style it with a dress, tights and blazer

Dress (Gap). Blazer (RW & Co.). Boots (Browns). Necklace (Stella & Dot). Purse (Coach).

Style it with jeggings, sweater and blouse

Sweater (J Crew). Blouse (Gap). Jeggings (RW & Co.). Booties (Fergalicious).

Style it for a night out with a dress and leather jacket

Dress (Aritzia). Leather Jacket (Danier Leather). Booties (Aldo). Necklace & Bracelet (Stella & Dot).

Style it with jeans, sweater and vest for a weekend look

Sweater & Jeans (Gap). Boots (Fergalicious). Vest (Banana Republic). Necklace (Stella & Dot).

Style it with a dress layered over a blouse for a preppy look

Dress (Aritzia). Blouse (Gap). Boots (Aldo). Necklace (Stella & Dot).

Style Swap: Styling A Navy Cardigan

20 Replies

I’ve had this navy blue cardigan forever and the other day I saw the fabulous Rachel from Pink Peonies style it with skinny jeans, heels and a scarf. I thought this would be the perfect outfit for Ginny’s from My New Favorite Outfit and Jenn’s fromThe Brandied Pair Style Swap Link Up.

I wasn’t able to style this outfit with heels as Rachel did (nor do I look as glamorous as Rachel does, this is definitely a more realistic look for me), because we had about a foot of snow, but I did manage to style it with boots and a fabulous polka dot scarf and blinged it up with arm candy and a statement necklace.

Sweater & T-Shirt (Gap). Scarf (Jacob). Jeans (J Brand c/o Aritzia). Boots (Browns). Purse (J Crew). Necklace & Bracelets (Stella & Dot). Watch (Michael Kors).

A La Preppy

28 Replies

It’s no secret that my style is somewhat preppy and this outfit is no exception. I’ve had this gingham top in my closet for a while now and I realized on Monday that I haven’t worn it much, so I chose to add a cardigan, skinny jeans, boots and statement necklace, and make it into an outfit. That’s pretty much my uniform during Winter: skinny jeans, boots, cardigan and statement necklace. What’s your go-to outfit during Winter?

Top & Cardigan (Gap). Jeans (J Brand c/o Aritzia). Boots (Browns). Necklace (J Crew). Bracelets (Stella & Dot). Watch (Michael Kors).

Impromptu Coffee Date & Tres-Chic Fashion Thursday Link Up

55 Replies

This Sunday I had plans to go for High Tea with a good friend, but she and her family were sicker than dogs this week so that had to be postponed. Instead my husband decided to get a sitter and we headed to the mall for an impromptu coffee date. It’s extremely rare that we ever get a chance to run errands just the two of us. What a nice treat. We got coffee and had something to eat at the food court, and then we just putzed around the mall. I took a look at some cameras as in the Spring we will be purchasing a new one!!!! I can’t wait for a camera that takes better, faster pictures. Then we headed grocery shopping, exciting, yes I know, but hey any parents out there will understand how nice it is to just get groceries in peace. Anyways that was our date, although short, it was still nice to just have a few hours to ourselves. Below is what I wore. I’m absolutely in love with this quilted purse from J Crew. It reminds me of Chanel, but much more affordable. ( I apologize for how tired I look in these pictures. These were taken on Monday after a rather challenging end to Sunday.)

Sweater & Shirt (Gap). Blazer (Banana Republic). Jeans (J Brand c/o Aritzia). Boots (Browns). Purse (J Crew).

I purchased this metallic t-shirt from J Crew before the holidays and I’ve been wearing it non-stop since then. I originally thought it would be just for the holidays but I love wearing it casually with a cardigan and jeans. It’s not your normal, average, run of the mill t-shirt.

Dressing Up A Sweatshirt With A Statement Necklace

34 Replies

Somedays even I find it challenging to figure out what to wear. I’ve been dragging my heels about getting out of Holiday mode and outfit planning, so on Friday I decided to just add a statement necklace to a Sweatshirt. Sweatshirts are still very in style for Winter and instead of just wearing a simple one with skinny jeans and boots, I decided to spruce things up by adding a statement necklace. The sweatshirt is black and white and normally I would wear a black necklace, but I decided to be “bold” and wear a red one.

Sweatshirt (Gap). Jeans (J Brand c/o Aritzia). Boots (Browns). Necklace (Stella & Dot).

Mae Necklace (Stella & Dot).

Baby It’s Cold Outside, Perfect For A Cloche Hat!!!

24 Replies

Our typical Fall consists of insane amounts of rain. Thankfully this Fall has been unseasonably dry. This past week the cold has hit, now this is nothing new for me considering I grew up in cold Alberta. I have to say I do miss the days where although it may be -20C, at least the sun is shinning. This week reminds me of Alberta. The last 2 mornings have yielded lots of ice, scraping of the windows and warming up of the cars. I’ve been bundled up in my warm wool Winter coat, boots and scarf the past few days. I thought today is the perfect day to wear my cloche hat. I purchased it last year and I love it. Totally reminds me of the 20′s. I love the way women used to dress. I would have loved to have dressed in those times.

Coat (Zara). Hat (RW & Co.). Scarf & Leggings (Jacob). Boots (Browns). Cardigan (J Crew). Dress (Forever 21). Necklace & Bracelets (Stella & Dot). Watch (Guess).
