comfy – SPEAKOFTHEANGEL https://speakoftheangel.com Fri, 18 Nov 2016 20:55:25 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.1 82987084 Comfortable in Aritzia https://speakoftheangel.com/comfortable-in-aritzia/ https://speakoftheangel.com/comfortable-in-aritzia/#respond Fri, 18 Nov 2016 20:55:25 +0000 http://speakoftheangel.com/?p=3486 I am currently curled up in a corner in the backroom of my work writing this blogpost. This is all that my life has consisted of lately. Wake up, school, work, gym (sometimes), sleep. I am definitely someone who lives for schedules. I love planning things. I love knowing exactly what I’ll be doing the next day, and the day after that, and over the weekend. I just like being in control of my life. The moments I feel the most lost and helpless is when I start losing control… 

But lately, with my schedule and forthcoming end-of-semester due-dates and exams, I feel like I haven’t had anytime to myself and to do the things that I want to do. And oh man I’ve just been feeling so de-motivated :'( .

So what I’m trying to say is I’m sorry that all my content lately has been iphone quality and shot outside of my school. I’ve been trying to use all the decently “aesthetically pleasing” parts of my school.

I know I’ve mentioned these pants before but they are just awesome. Very few dress pants from Aritzia actually fit me the way I want them to because I have proportionately larger thighs and calves than waist so I am always between sizes. These “dressy joggers” are actually supposed to fit long and loose but I actually quite like how it fits on me. They come up a little higher, right above my ankles, and have a drawstring waist. They definitely barely fit the “trouser”/”dress pant” category but the fabric definitely dresses it up a bit. 

And then of course I had to buy yet another thin turtleneck shirt. I actually own this exact shirt in three colours now… it’s an issue. But honestly it’s the comfiest, softest shirt I own. I think it’s the perfect “chill” shirt for school over jeans, trousers, joggers, you name it. The colour that I’m wearing above is Twine. I also own it in Tuscan Olive and Heather Ashen. 

I recently finally upgraded my camera and bought a new lens so I’m hoping that’ll be more than enough motivation to get me creating content again. The only thing I’m missing is time, but we can figure that out somehow. 

Hope school is going well for all my student readers out there. I feel your pain… We can do this together :'( 

And to those who don’t have school, GET EXCITED! Holiday season is upon us!

 

More soon,

Back to School Coziness with Bench https://speakoftheangel.com/back-to-school-coziness/ https://speakoftheangel.com/back-to-school-coziness/#respond Thu, 15 Sep 2016 21:14:58 +0000 http://speakoftheangel.com/?p=2900 School is in full swing and my 8am lectures are definitely starting to wear me out. I swear I’ve been giving myself less and less time to get ready in the morning, which means my outfits have been getting more simple by the day. Which is totally fine by me because typically the more simple the outfit, the comfier it is. I have been catching myself online shopping for sweater dresses and other cozy one pieces that I can just throw on and go. One piece that I’ve been searching for for a while is a oversized sweat-shirt that I can wear as a dress. Fortunately Bench has got me covered because they just launched a sweat-shirt dress with their new Fall line and it is exactly what I was looking for.

If there was ever a time to say “I literally can’t even”, this would be it. This dress is the epitome of back-to-school comfort and I see the danger of over-wearing this during the school year. But thankfully it’s actually a cute piece along with being cozy, and I think I could actually style this a couple different ways so it doesn’t seem like I’m wearing the exact same thing every single day. 

I can see this dress coming in handy during midterms/finals season because it’ll be a no-brainer outfit that I can even sleep in! And that, my friends, is a MAJOR KEY to exam season success.

You can find the Bench sweatshirt dress here ! It also comes in a dusty blue colour that I feel like I should probably cop as well. If you’re wondering about sizing, I actually went up a size in this dress so that it’d be EXTRA over-sized and sleeping-bag like. I’m 5 feet 8 inches tall and weigh about 125 lbs and I went with a medium in this dress. Hope that helps if you’re planning to order online!     

So that’s all for today! Hope you guys enjoyed this post!

More soon,
