I styled these sleek trousers with an old crisp white cotton dress shirt from Talula. I know some people are going to speak up about the wrinkles and creases in it but I actually love the look of a creased white dress shirt. Especially with a messy look like this one, I think it brings character. I left the one too many buttons open to give a peak to the smooth spandex bralette that I’m wearing underneath. This outfit would also look great with a lace bralette but I wanted to avoid looking too promiscuous on a sunny Sunday. 

I wore my favourite menswear inspired coat, the Stedman coat, which I think totally completes the look. I really wanted to capture a “rolled out of bed to conquer the world” look and I think the Stedman is what adds that “girl boss” feel. Throw on a killer pair of booties or heels and you’re ready to take over the world! My shoes are from Browns by Mimosa! 

Hope everyone is having a productive week so far!

Until next time, 

Crazy how quickly this summer flew by. I feel like as I’m getting older each year just keeps going by faster. Kind of starting to understand why the phrase “time is money” exists now. Vancouver had its first rain in a while and oh man did it feel like autumn. Definitely a preview of the school semester to come (aka going to school at 7 am when it’s still dark out). But I do have to say the cloudy weather is definitely provides more photo-friendly lighting than the blaring sunshine does. So of course I went outside on my break to an undercover area to take OOTDs :b. 

I think I’ve finally gotten my fix of chunky turtle necks and have been leaning more towards just round or v-shaped necklines in sweaters. I have a feeling the one I’m wearing here is going to be a favourite this fall. This oatmeal coloured, waffle-knit sweater is from Aritzia’s house brand, Wilfred Free. I have actually been eyeing this sweater since last year but ended up buying several other sweaters instead of this one. But now that I finally own it I’m sad I didn’t own it earlier. The knit is thick yet still very breathable so I’ve been able to make use of it already. I sized up and bought a medium because I wanted it to look and feel very oversized and comfy. The neckline is wide enough that I can wear it off one shoulder (which I am obsessed with) should I ever get sick of the v-shaped neckline. I think this is going to be a great sweater to dress up or down this fall/winter and it’s got me pretty excited for the cooler weather. 

I paired the sweater with this simple black maxi skirt which is also by Wilfred Free. I love how the slit angles slightly towards the front. And of course the reposa material is well loved for its comfort and lightweight feel. 

Also can we talk about how adorable this watch is? I’m digging the rose gold and white face paired with the light grey leather band. I think the colour scheme is beautiful and have worn it a bunch of times already. Only issue I have with the watch is that because the watch face is slightly bigger, when the watch twists and turns on my wrist it can feel a little uncomfortable. But overall I’ve really enjoyed styling this watch with my girlier outfits. I think it ties everything together really well.  

Hope everyone had an amazing week so far!

Until next time, 

Sometimes I wonder whether the rain will ever stop. I totally get that the rain in Spring is supposed to help the flowers bloom and all that… BUT I MEAN COME ON. The gloomy weather + the stress from midterms season is really starting to weigh me down Thankfully I’ve actually set a schedule for myself and have a dedicated filming/shooting day. I think being able to spend a little bit of time every week to do what I love is what keeps me from going insane. 

I’m actually really happy with how this look turned out! I wanted to incorporate some fall/winter essential pieces, such as my booties and trousers, to keep things temperature-appropriate. However, I think the white knit crop top made for a good defining piece that helped ease this outfit, and me, into Spring. 

To all my tall girls out there. Do any of you also have this issue where trousers and crop-tops don’t hit you at the right spot? I always feel like I’m showing a little too much mid-drift when it comes to pairing crop-tops and trousers. People always tell me “you’re tall, you can pull anything off” but you guys are all mistaken! I swear everything looks a little awkward on tall girls. Whether it’s too much ankle, too much tummy… whatever it is. Y’all don’t know the struggle we deal with!
