skirt – SPEAKOFTHEANGEL https://speakoftheangel.com Wed, 28 Jun 2017 06:08:08 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.1 82987084 Wrapped up in Bench https://speakoftheangel.com/wrapped-up-in-bench/ https://speakoftheangel.com/wrapped-up-in-bench/#respond Wed, 28 Jun 2017 05:11:03 +0000 http://speakoftheangel.com/?p=3985 I finally caved and got sucked into the wrap skirt trend! I was hesitant for a while because I hadn’t really found one that fits me the way I want. Most that I saw were either a little too long, a little too short, or just was not flattering for my narrow hips. 

I fell in love with this one because of the simplicity of it as well as the jersey fabric that seems to hug me in all the right places. I like that the extra fabric on the sides makes it look like I have hips, and the elastic band waist cinches me in at the waist. Not to mention the thin t-shirt material is extremely comfortable and breathable for the summer time ?

I definitely see myself rocking this skirt a lot more this summer, especially with the mini heat waves we’ve been experiencing. Can’t wait to see what other pieces Bench comes out with for the summer!

Caught up with some olds friends, made some new (doggy) friends, ate pasta, and had ice cream for dessert. Can you think of a more perfect summer day? 

How was your Tuesday?

Feeling like a Modern Day Princess https://speakoftheangel.com/feeling-like-modern-day-princess/ https://speakoftheangel.com/feeling-like-modern-day-princess/#respond Mon, 13 Feb 2017 16:23:26 +0000 http://speakoftheangel.com/?p=3782 Everytime I wear this skirt I feel like a bit of a princess. It’s definitely the girliest item of clothing that I own, and it makes me feel girly when I wear it. But it’s one of those pieces that I don’t even think about getting rid of. Amongst my leathers, black clothes, and distressed denim, this skirt definitely stands out and makes me feel a little different. 

I also adore the light blush pink colour of the skirt. I think it’s light enough of a pink that makes it still very wearable and versatile. Anything pinker than this I would start to shy away from. My cravings for spring/summer has definitely kicked in and I’ve been dying to wear some lighter pieces. I paired the skirt with a mauvey-grey turtle neck to ensure I wasn’t freezing to death (there’s still snow outside!)

And yes, I had to wear it with a leather moto and some leather booties. Because modern day princesses are strong, independent, and don’t need no man. All we need is a good leather jacket to conquer the world with. Am I right?!

Valentines day is right around the corner. And although I’m spending it alone, I’m more than content and happy with my life. I’ve got a great support system of family and friends, an amazing internship opportunity starting in March, and a really exciting future ahead of me. What else does a girl need really?

To all of you celebrating Valentines day independently this year, happy Galentines day! or Bruh-lentines day if there happen to be some dudes visiting my blog (??)

More soon!

XOXO, Gossip Girl https://speakoftheangel.com/xoxo-gossip-girl/ https://speakoftheangel.com/xoxo-gossip-girl/#respond Mon, 24 Oct 2016 21:46:35 +0000 http://speakoftheangel.com/?p=2972 Every year when summer is ending and fall is beginning I always think to myself “this year I will wear a lot of skirts”. I love fall outfits that feature different skirts (a-line, leather, suede…<3) and constantly want to adopt those skirts into my cold weather wardrobe. However, as soon as the cold actually hits, skirts are pretty much the last thing I want to consider when picking what to wear in the morning! Thankfully we’ve still had some semi-not freezing days so I was able to bring out my Wilfred Free skirt from Aritzia for one last hurray before I stash it away for the winter. img_8450img_8428 untitled-2img_8431 img_8421 img_8420 untitled-3

This corduroy skirt quickly became one of my favourite pieces in my fall wardrobe. I love the neutral brown-ish green colour with the vintage looking buttons. It fits better than other a-line skirts that I’ve seen from other stores. I find that it’s actually really flattering around the bum area and is not too tight but not too flared. The only bone that I have to pick with this skirt is the length! It is quite a short skirt, but as long as you’re not wearing it to a business meeting you’re good to go! As I’ve mentioned before, cropped sweaters are another trendy fall piece that I’ve been obsessed with this season. This really nice scalloped-hem sweater is also from Aritzia and I think it pairs perfectly with this skirt. I had to size up two sizes for this sweater (bought a medium) because of how tight and cropped it is. But I think the medium is a perfect fit for me! It’s the perfect amount of loose and cuddly but also cropped and trendy. I’ll definitely be repeating this outfit a bunch this fall whenever I have the need to dress up.  Threw on tights because it was chilly still outside but also because it made me feel like Blair from Gossip Girl. 

img_8423 I’ve just finished my midterms week (FINALLY) which is the reason I’ve been slacking on the blogposts. But I’m back! And ready to get shit done. So keep your eyes peeled for more outfit posts soon! 

Hope you guys are having a great Monday. 

Until next time,

First Day of Fall ft. Christian Paul Watches https://speakoftheangel.com/first-day-fall-ft-christian-paul-watches/ https://speakoftheangel.com/first-day-fall-ft-christian-paul-watches/#respond Tue, 06 Sep 2016 18:49:16 +0000 http://speakoftheangel.com/?p=2779 Processed with VSCO with a6 preset

Crazy how quickly this summer flew by. I feel like as I’m getting older each year just keeps going by faster. Kind of starting to understand why the phrase “time is money” exists now. Vancouver had its first rain in a while and oh man did it feel like autumn. Definitely a preview of the school semester to come (aka going to school at 7 am when it’s still dark out). But I do have to say the cloudy weather is definitely provides more photo-friendly lighting than the blaring sunshine does. So of course I went outside on my break to an undercover area to take OOTDs :b. 

I think I’ve finally gotten my fix of chunky turtle necks and have been leaning more towards just round or v-shaped necklines in sweaters. I have a feeling the one I’m wearing here is going to be a favourite this fall. This oatmeal coloured, waffle-knit sweater is from Aritzia’s house brand, Wilfred Free. I have actually been eyeing this sweater since last year but ended up buying several other sweaters instead of this one. But now that I finally own it I’m sad I didn’t own it earlier. The knit is thick yet still very breathable so I’ve been able to make use of it already. I sized up and bought a medium because I wanted it to look and feel very oversized and comfy. The neckline is wide enough that I can wear it off one shoulder (which I am obsessed with) should I ever get sick of the v-shaped neckline. I think this is going to be a great sweater to dress up or down this fall/winter and it’s got me pretty excited for the cooler weather.

I paired the sweater with this simple black maxi skirt which is also by Wilfred Free. I love how the slit angles slightly towards the front. And of course the reposa material is well loved for its comfort and lightweight feel.

Also can we talk about how adorable this watch is? I’m digging the rose gold and white face paired with the light grey leather band. I think the colour scheme is beautiful and have worn it a bunch of times already. Only issue I have with the watch is that because the watch face is slightly bigger, when the watch twists and turns on my wrist it can feel a little uncomfortable. But overall I’ve really enjoyed styling this watch with my girlier outfits. I think it ties everything together really well.  

Hope everyone had an amazing week so far!

Until next time,
