Look of the Week: The Sheer Maxi Skirt

Sometimes the weather cools off just a tad, and and you want to wear something that's summery but that covers you up just a bit more. I love how this version of the maxi skirt has a shorter liner underneath, so it's extra breathable and flows even more. It makes for an interesting silhouette too, with the shorter lining just visible under the sheer fabric. I found this particular skirt at one of Betty Be Good's pop up shops; it has beautiful gold embroidery along the waistband that is just the perfect finishing touch on this sheer coral maxi.

I love how pink looks with polka dots: they both exude femininity and simplicity. And some cat eye shades and a high bun play up the classic Audrey Hepburn look. Overall, it's a girly outfit with more mature detailing.

Look of the Week: Casual Sunday Style

Sunday is the weekend day you want to get out and enjoy yourself once all the errands have been run. Whether it's coffee with a friend, or a casual walk through town, you want to look your best. The key to weekend-wear is to be comfortably fashionable, and a great piece to help you look the part is a maxi dress/skirt. A word about this particular skirt: I'm generally considered of average height, which is not ideal for a skirt like this because it doesn't exactly elongate the legs. My quick fix? Nude heels! Next, pick out a slouchy sweater or sweatshirt to keep the look casual, and add some dramatic sunglasses and statement jewelry to amp up the glam. Now, I know it's not Sunday today, so you can make your outfit do double-duty and make it work for your study-wear as well! You can check out my original study-wear inspiration from last year too.

Queen Elizabeth Park made for a fantastic shoot on one particularly beautiful day last week. We teamed up with friend and Pin Up/burlesque dancer Lottie Libido to take some casual Spring photos. The fountain made for a very amusing backdrop- you can see some of our outtakes on the Vancouver Vogue Facebook Page!
