Stripes & Collars

Spring has finally sprung! While I've shifted over my closet from winter to spring, I realize that it's not going to be super warm for a while though, so I've been wearing transitional pieces like this long sleeve striped dress with thick tights. Once the weather warms up a little more, I'll be able to wear it without tights.

I love this outfit for when I have to run out for a work meeting: it feels business-y without being too stuffy, and it's easier to run around in loafers than heels (while still looking polished). The peter pan collar is so cute on this dress, and like with any collar, I like to accessorize mine with a sparkly necklace underneath. It's best to wear one that has a shorter chain, so it doesn't droop too far below the collar.

My mom bought me this dress from Simons for Christmas, after seeing it on my Pinterest board. Isn't she sneaky?? Basically my entire family is obsessed with Simons right now. Every time I'm in there, I find something else to add to my wardrobe. My latest purchase was a new palm leaf bomber jacket and matching shorts...you'll be seeing them on the blog soon too! If you want a sneak peek of the jacket, check out my Instagram post here.

Fall Fashion Must-Haves

As soon as the weather cooled off and the rain came in for a day, I was ready for fall! I've noticed I've been gravitating a lot more to black, grey and white fashion items: a little less colour than usual for me. Much more minimalist than usual, but I'm excited to dive in this style. I've always been a fan of black and white outfits with a red lip to match, so this will just be expanding on this!

These are a few of the items that are on my radar for fall this year. As you can see, there are quite a few pairs of shoes on my list - I have lots of boots, but I am in need of some good basic shoes, from staples like black flats, to comfortable walking shoes like these Adidas Stan Smith sneakers and Nike Flex running shoes. The running shoes are definitely a shock even to myself, as usually I would HATE the idea of wearing runners outside of gym attire, but I must say I've been pretty inspired by the street style this year.

Now, more often than not, the things on my wishlist cost a lot more than I'm willing to budget for some trendy fall fashions, so stay tuned for another post once I've researched some steals vs. splurges!
