There has been culottes, trousers, blazers, and even trench coats trending in this navy and white pinstripe pattern. My favourite by far has to be this dress shirt from Aritzia. Something about the way the fabric hangs as well as the slightly baggy silhouette, really satisfies my menswear to womenswear obsession. I also love wearing it buttoned halfway and off one or both shoulders to give it an effortless messy look.

I paired this shirt with a pair of distressed vintage Levis cut-off shorts and my mom’s Stuart Weitzman loafers. And for those of you wondering, I have the BIGGEST struggle buying pre-cut vintage shorts that most retailers carry now. I literally have to try on about ten pairs before I can find even one that fits me semi-decently. So if you also have that struggle… don’t worry. It’s not just you. 

This weekend is Canada Day weekend so to all of my Canadians out there, Happy Canada Day! And have a wicked long weekend. 

Until next time,

CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT THIS FOR A SECOND. If you were wondering what the second lens on the 7 plus does this is it. And I’m not going to lie, it’s definitely making me consider upgrading my phone. She quickly helped me snap a few pictures between classes and this is how they turned out (I played around with the contrast and brightness a little bit on VSCO). But can you imagine how beautiful photos would be if you actually took the time to take nice photos with this lens? AMAZING phone camera quality. Apple is killing it. 

Okay moving on….

I definitely have been feeling a little demotivated lately with creating fresh outfits. I don’t know whether it’s because of school and all the hectic deadlines or what, but OH MAN is it hard to think of outfit ideas in the morning. So today I decided to find a way to NOT sacrifice my lazy school vibes while still looking like I put effort in my outfit planning. What do you think? Did it work?

Gave the whole DIY thing a try with this t-shirt. You can’t tell since I’ve got two thick layers on top plus dark-wash denim on but the cutout at the neckline isn’t the only one. I also snipped a couple of smaller holes randomly throughout the t-shirt, and I detached a part of the seam at the bottom of the shirt as well to give it that torn-up look. I’ve been getting a lot of compliments on it lately so I might potentially dedicate an entire blogpost on how I created the distressed look. Let me know if you’d like to see that!

I’ve kept my Levis denim jacket in the back of my closet for a couple months now because unless I wear a thick sweater underneat, it hasn’t been keeping me warm enough to wear in November. But since at school I’m mostly indoors I decided to just throw a coat over top of it and wear it anyways. Turns out I actually kind of dig the long coat over short jacket look. I think it added some cool dimension to the otherwise basic look.

I have all these ideas for shoots in my head but 0 motivation nor time to do it. Does anyone else go through these funks now and again? What do you do to surpass it? SOS FAM.

Definitely a favourite from my recent clothing hauls, is this amazing semi-sheer oversized black tshirt/dress (the Recurrant B top) from Bench. It’s hard to tell in these edits but this piece is actually an extremely lightweight almost knit-like top that’s semi-sheer. I’ve been loving pairing this with my Levis denim cutoff shorts and just a bralette underneath. I love how you can see the bralette peeking through a tiny bit, giving the outfit a little bit of an edge. IMG_0366Processed with VSCO with a6 preset Processed with VSCO with a6 preset IMG_0368Processed with VSCO with a6 preset Processed with VSCO with a6 presetProcessed with VSCO with a6 preset

I also love how this top looks slightly tucked into jeans or shorts cause it automatically goes from dressy to a “my boyfriend’s tshirt” kind of vibe. I actually bought the top in an XS since it was so oversized and it fit perfectly as a t-shirt dress without being too large to the point that I’m drowning in fabric. Also I think since it’s such a lightweight, flowy material, it actually drapes on the body in a really flattering way. I find that usually with super oversized items, when the fabric is too stiff the shirt will often look awkward around my shoulders. But since this just sits on my shoulders and drops where my shoulders do (rather than where the seam is) it actually is a great fit. 

I paired this piece with my vintage Levis cutoffs and my classic Mimosa heels from Browns. For jewelry I threw on a couple of super simple silver pieces to push the look to an even edgier feel. My cuff is from Hermes and my choker is from Simons. And my bag is from Aritzia. 

Hope you guys are having a great week! I think I only have one more post planned until you’ll be bombarded with LA blogs and videos so stay tuned!

 

Until next time loves,
