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,

Moody Saturday. https://speakoftheangel.com/moody-saturday/ https://speakoftheangel.com/moody-saturday/#comments Wed, 04 Mar 2015 07:35:43 +0000 http://speakoftheangel.com/?p=573 11039499_353379204851011_93672716_n

This past Saturday, it was a gorgeous sunny day, and so Summer and I went downtown to explore, eat, study, and shop. Vancouver has been deceptively sunny lately. It’s been clear skies, birds chirping, and sun blaring, yet when you step outside, the crisp air gets you shivering instantly. I really wanted to take advantage of the sun and (almost) Spring weather, so I wore bright blues and light denim. But then of course I had to throw a big coat over top so I didn’t freeze to death.

So I may have completely forgotten where I purchased this shirt…. I removed the tag from it because it was irritating my back, when I first bought it, and now it’s completely slipped my mind where it’s from.

Loving the coat/trench trend that seems to be happening right now. So normcore. So great.

What do you guys think of longer coats and trenches right now? Yay? or Nay? How would you pair your coat ?

More soon,
