My newest favourite pairing has been pairing boyfriend jeans and (pointed) booties. The reason I put “pointed” in brackets is because they don’t necessarily HAVE to be pointed to look good with boyfriend jeans. BUT I love how the sleek feminine silhouette looks with the boyish jeans. 

The pair I’m wearing above are from Forever21. Although I find it kind of difficult to find boyfriend jeans at F21, mostly because they’re ALWAYS sold out in my size, when I do they usually are AWESOME. Affordable, soft, comfortable and stylish. What more can you ask for? Usually for trendy jeans , such as really distressed boyfriend jeans, I don’t like spending an insane amount of money because trends pass. I’d rather invest in classic pieces that I know I will love forever. 

My booties are from ASOS. I’ve been looking for an affordable pointed chelsea boot for quite some time and I LOVE this one especially because of its resemblance to the ACNE Jensen boot. They were originally $80 but I was lucky enough to get them on sale for $50 ! Such a steal for a great pair of comfortable black booties. More places you can usually find affordable booties are Zara, Top Shop, Aldo and Spring. My go-to places to look when I’m trying to find an affordable option for trending booties and shoes.

I went with a flowy colour-block t-shirt from Oak and Fort to add more femininity to the baggie jeans and then finished the outfit off with my Mackage Rumer jacket.

Sweater dresses with thigh high boots or socks have been all the rage this fall season. Too bad I only got to rock this cute taupe turtleneck dress once before Vancouver decided to freeze over. The weather here has been crazy cold lately and gone are the days I can bare any skin whatsoever. 

It was great while it lasted though ! I love the colour and fit of this dress. Surprisingly enough, I actually bought this in a XXS which is INSANITY because usually XXS ANYTHING is WAY too small for my 5’8 figure. However, I guess it’s just the fit of this particular dress, but I actually liked how the XXS fit on me more than I liked the XS. It fit a little tighter, and the shoulders fit a little better. 

And can we obsess over this colour for a minute? It’s the perfect taupey-mauve colour; the perfect in-between of cold and warm. When paired with a warm-coloured scarf like the maroon one I have on, it really makes the dress look warmer toned. However, when paired with a more cool-toned scarf it shows up more on the taupey-cool-toned-grey shade. 

What’s your favourite trend been this Fall/Winter? 

More soon, 

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 !
