I tend to mostly stick with wearing pants and shorts but something clicked in me recently and I want to be more girly! My ultimate style goal is to be a mixture of badass-casual like HeyClaire and sophisticated-girly like Serena Vanderwoodsen (yes I understand that she is a TV show character. Doesn’t mean she can’t be a style icon). I’m definitely still trying to figure out what my personal style is but really, experimenting and discovering it is half the fun! Processed with VSCO with a6 preset Processed with VSCO with a6 presetProcessed with VSCO with a6 presetMy favourite part about this skirt is definitely the distressing all along the front and bottom of the skirt. I find that this is probably the perfect gateway skirt from my usual distressed denim/shorts to my newly discovered skirt obsession. It also can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion and the accessories you pair it with. I wore it casually here with sneakers, a chill knit top, and my favourite oversized denim jacket. But I also loved how it looked with a crop top and booties for an effortless night out look. Processed with VSCO with a6 presetProcessed with VSCO with a6 presetProcessed with VSCO with s2 preset Processed with VSCO with s2 presetProcessed with VSCO with s2 preset

I wore this outfit when I did a day trip with Janice and Vernice to Victoria to explore. Was definitely the perfect outfit for the cool summer day that we were there! Not to mention definitely giving this outfit a 10/10 for comfort as well. I have a few more ‘discovering skirts’ outfits planned so hopefully I’ll have time to shoot for them soon! But for now I’ll leave you with some links to this one.

To The Tee https://speakoftheangel.com/to-the-tee/ https://speakoftheangel.com/to-the-tee/#respond Fri, 24 Jun 2016 05:54:40 +0000 http://speakoftheangel.com/?p=2149 Processed with VSCO with a6 preset

I feel like the older I get, the more I’m starting to lean back towards classic pieces and neutral colours. Definitely went through a colours and prints phase in high school (goodbye forever hot pink tights and yellow skinny jeans) but I’m feeling more comfortable than ever being back in the basics. I feel like every wardrobe needs certain pieces to make it complete. A luxurious pair of denim, a classic leather jacket, a timeless purse, or even just a simple white tee.

With all the different cuts and fabrics that exist with simple white tees nowadays, it’s actually kind of difficult to find that perfect white tee. And I’m definitely not saying there’s a PERFECT white tee that is going to meet ALL your needs and when you find it THAT’S IT. Nope. I own about 10 different white tees, and they’re all perfect in totally different ways. (Neurotic, I know.)

Recently, however, I have definitely been reaching for this ‘Spot Short Slv’ tee by Bench a bit more than my other tees. I really like the length of this tee and where it hits on my hips when I wear my mid-rise jeans (which is ALWAYS since it hasn’t actually been hot enough for shorts lately). Not to mention it’s incredibly soft and breathable which is perfect for Vancouver’s bipolar summer weather.

I also absolutely love the low-cut back of this tee (as shown here). I think it adds a unique factor to the shirt without compromising the simplicity of it which is always a plus in my books.

I dressed up my white ‘Spot Short Slv’ shirt with my Mackage ‘Rumer’ jacket as well as some cute sandals from H&M. This look is essentially a mash-up of all my closet staples, which pretty much creates my perfect go-to look. VOILA.

Hope you guys are having a really great week!

Until next time,

Lately https://speakoftheangel.com/lately/ https://speakoftheangel.com/lately/#comments Thu, 14 Apr 2016 06:26:27 +0000 http://speakoftheangel.com/?p=1897 Processed with VSCO with a6 preset

Let me just apologize in advance if my outfits look a little lazy and more relaxed. Although I do wear baggy, comfy clothes on the regular, I do feel that my blogpost outfits should be a little more done up and “stylish”. But lately things have been too hectic for me to dress up.

I feel like I’ve got so much to do and there are definitely not enough hours in a day to do it all. School, work, instagram, blogging, youtube, hanging out with friends… I want to do everything. I’ve really been inspired lately to try to work on my IG, blog, and YouTube more. It’s something I’ve grown passionate about over the past year and I want to grow it further. I wish school wasn’t so time-consuming so that I would actually have time to translate the ideas in my head into bomb content. But I guess most of it will just have to wait until the summer.

Talking about the summer, there are so many things I want to accomplish this summer as well. Other than summer bod 16′, which is something I’ve been trying to achieve in full force, I also want to expand on my experience in my field of study. I’m really hoping that I will either have time to work on my own branding or that I will be able to intern / work part-time in the industry. (PRAYING).

Either way I hope I do something this summer that I can be proud of in years to come. Fingers-crossed!
