I recently bought this new grey sweater from NOUL and I truly have been obsessed. I really needed a sweater that wasn’t a turtleneck and would be a good layering piece. The length of this piece falls ever so slightly above your hips, which I think is PERFECT because you could go with or without wearing something underneath. For this look however, I paired the sweater with my Teigen dress from Aritzia, which is a white flowly t-shirt dress, and I love how it made the boxy sweater look a little bit more girly. And then with my Daria leather leggings (also from Aritzia) to add some edge back into the outfit. Pulled the outfit together with a light-washed denim jacket and some light taupe booties. I think this is an ideal “ease into spring” outfit with all the light colours yet still keeping warm with the layering. If you’re looking for some really simple and classic pieces, go check out Oak and Fort and/or NOUL. The more I shop there, the more obsessed I become. It’s great for my blog and IG but TERRIBLE for my bank account. 

What’s a girl to do though right? 

I recently got convinced by my floor manager at Aritzia to purchase the Rians blouse. Honestly, I’ve seen in on so many different people, and never could imagine myself purchasing it. It’s high neckline and slightly cropped length never really enticed me. However, I let my momager convince me to at least try it on and I ended up pretty much falling in love with it upon first glance. The cut of it is surprisingly flattering (especially on us flatter-chested girls) and the length honestly didn’t bother me that much. Especially since I’ve been leaning more and more towards slightly higher-waisted bottoms once I started working at Aritzia (hello Rockets !), the length actually turns out to go with a lot of my newer bottoms. 

We just relaunched this blouse in the a gorgeous dark plum colour, which I think will be my next purchase for sure ! Make sure you get your hands on it before it runs out ! 

I finally caved and bought the Wilfred Hymne Dress.

The Hymne dress  this beautiful linen maxi dress that cinches in around the waist and flows out beautifully. It’s been the biggest debate of this Summer whether or not it would’ve been worth it for me to purchase it. I’ve definitely been leaning towards expanding my wardrobe and style but to a maxi linen dress? mmmm….. not sure. 

Although I was unsure for so long, when I finally decided to just bite the bullet and give it ago, I was super glad I did. The dress has a beautiful fit that accentuated my long body, and the low cut in the back allowed me to show off my tattoos a little, which I haven’t been able to do too much of this Summer. 

I ended up pairing the pilgrim-y vibed dress with my classic low-top chucks (can never go wrong) and just a regular jean jacket. I wanted to try to make the style my own, since I’ve been practically living in my denim jacket and sneakers all Summer. Ended up actually loving how it looked ! 

The Hymne dress is on sale for $99 right now (originally $145) so definitely go give it a look over in stores or online. I’m probably not going to get too much wear out of it past Summer, but I honestly don’t mind at all considering how beautifully it fits and looks !

This is me diving in head first into the whole linen trend ! 

Dress : Wilfred Hymne Dress

Denim Jacket : Talula Martim Jacket

Shoes : Chuck Taylors

happy to be back, 

Had a super early shift at work yesterday, so I didn’t really want to wake up much earlier to get ready. I ended up just throwing on my Wilfred Free Yasmin dress and my Stan Smiths. I wasn’t actually sure about the dress and shoes combination at first, but ended up actually really liking the two together. Although the Yasmin dress is a super casual knitted marl material, I find that the cut and look of the dress can actually be quite dressy. So along with my sneakers, I found that it really balanced it out, and made it a more appropriate outfit for a casual day. 

Not to mention I was SO. DAMN. COMFORTABLE. I definitely REALLY enjoyed it in that aspect. 

Oh, and did you know that this dress is actually reversible? You could wear it the way I am in the pictures above, which is the regular way OR you could actually flip the dress around so that the back is toward the front, and it actually looks like you are wearing a matching top and skirt because of the slit in the middle. Definitely thinking about wearing it the reversed way on a night out soon . 

Until next time, 

My camisole is from Wilfred Free, Jeans are Citizens of Humanity Avedon Porters, and I have on White Arizona Birkenstocks. 

And yes, I know a wear a lot of black and white. I can’t help myself. 

More soon, 

AHHHH, I’m so excited about this ! 

I finally bought some Citizens!!!!!! I’ve been on the fence about these for the longest time, purely because they’re jeans that cost an arm and a leg. BUT since I do get an employee discount at my new work, and they carry these bad boys, I decided to bite the bullet and splurge on them !

I’ve only worn them once so far, but I’m already in love with them. The distressing is very well done, and the denim itself is extremely soft and fits my body well. I was originally going to buy the Citizen Rocket Porter jeans , but these ones (Citizen Avedon Porter) I actually ended up liking more. They’ve got the same distressing as the Rocket Porters but they’re a little longer (the rockets go to your ankles) and aren’t as high-waisted. Not to mention, the denim is softer than the Rockets are well, so I’ve been really enjoying them. Honestly doesn’t feel like I’m wearing jeans at all, they’re perfect. 

I’ll let you know whether they’re hard to maintain or not, when I’ve worn them for a bit. I’ve heard that you’re not really supposed to wash nice denim all that much, and you’re actually supposed to put them in the freezer if you get them dirty? Idk. We’ll see LOL 

I will rock these in some outfits soon enough… Haven’t had ANY time to take OOTDS lately…. but when I have a chance, I promise I’ll spit them out like hot fiyaaaahhh (fire) and take like ten different ones at one time, so I have a queue. 

Until next time ! 

I apologize for the lack of content lately. I started at my new job as a sales associate at Aritzia, and work has been consuming me. Worked 35 hours this week, and next week is going to be 40. I barely have time to take a breath, much less go out to eat, explore, or take ootds. 

Fortunately, it was still semi-bright outside after closing, and with the help of the contrast and brightness adjustment through VSCO cam, I was able to get a few good pictures of what I wore to work today. 

Funny thing is, if this happened yesterday, or the day before, my outfit would’ve been much more interesting. But since it’s Sunday, and I’m tired as shit, here’s a boring little #workfit for you. 

They weren’t kidding when they said they would max out my hours for the first two weeks. And then of course, following my two weeks, is “JC” (June Clientele) which is busy season for Aritzia sooooooooooo… pretty much I’m screwed. Should’ve definitely thought my availability through a little more carefully. Not sure if I can handle all this work….

BUT ! at least it pays well. 

More soon, 

I can’t get enough of this slip dress !

It was absolutely gorgeous outside again, and so I wanted to take advantage of it and wear my dress again. I have a feeling this will be the summer of non-pants FOR SURE.

The one thing about Vancouver weather right now, is that the sun, although bright and beautiful, is actually quite deceiving. As soon as you walk outside, the breeze hits you and you’ll realize that it’s actually still nippy (no pun intended LOL) spring time, and not hot summer yet. So, to add a BIT of coverage to my slip dress (yes it’s my second day in a row of wearing it. don’t judge me), I threw on this long white t-shirt on top.

I’m LOVING how this combo looks, the casual and flow-y feel of it.

I love that the T-shirt actually has a large slit down the side , and is asymmetrical in the sense that it’s longer in the back, because I think it gives this combo some really interesting details to look at. The black peaking out from the side makes the lines look sharp and crisp, while the longer back ensures that I don’t have any wardrobe malfunctions throughout the day.

Black Slip Dress : Brandy Melville | White Tshirt : Brandy Melville | Bag : Rebecca Minkoff | Booties : Spring   

Oh yeah, can I just say that this is also the comfiest outfit EVER. the slip dress and the white t-shirt are both SO COMFORTABLE. it’s nuts. I feel like I’m floating around in my pajamas which I am DOWWWWWNNNN for.

How’s the weather where you’re from? Has it been warm enough for dresses yet? Let me know !

Hope you guys are having a great day, wherever you are.

Until next time,
