Look of the Week: Big Bold Colour

I mentioned the ridiculous deal I got on shoes in the States last week: one of those pairs makes its cameo here this week. I just so happens the fuschia in them matches perfectly with the silk Amanda Uprichard dress I thrifted earlier this year. I don't usually like to be too matchy-matchy, but with the bright orange and green in this outfit, I feel like it evens it out. The shoes seem super high, but they're actually not too hard to walk in; the platform mitigates the height of the heels, so that you're foot actually isn't at a very high angle. When you're feet do get tired though, a cute pair of black flats work too.

Time to inject some colour into your wardrobe! Believe it or not, it makes your mood a lot brighter too! Especially on days like today, where the weather is back to being its usual gloomy self.

Thrifty Thursday

I'm back with some more thrifted finds today! I'm moving, and it'll be sad to not have my favourite thrift store right around the corner...but I'm hoping I'll find some great new ones this summer.

You may recognize one of this week’s pieces, which I actually wore to Fashion Week a few weeks ago. I’m planning to get a lot of use out of these two pieces over spring and summer! It’s time for whites and colours to take over my wardrobe once again.



First is the white cropped coat I wore to Fashion Week. Keep in mind if you find a jacket like this, you have to be careful what you wear it with if you’re going to wear it buttoned-up. It masks a defined waist, so I recommend wearing it open, so that your waist can still be seen, or wearing it with pants or shorts.

This dress is one of my most prized thrift finds so far! It’s 100% silk, the colour is a super rich fuschia, and it’s worth quite a bit! It’s just a tad too big, but with a skinny belt, it’s almost impossible to tell.
