breaking fashion rules

It doesn’t take much searching to find a list of fashion “rules” created by well-meaning individuals to save us from ourselves and worst-dressed status. I just discovered my local library has an amazing collection of large, beautifully shot fashion books by various designers and celebrities which I have been tearing through.…

grown up sweatshirt

I love a good crew neck sweatshirt, and finally found a (slightly) more grown up version in this dress. It’s the perfect thing to throw on for a busy day of last-minute Xmas shopping. Super comfy and low-key but elevated with the twist detail at the front. Bare legs are perfect for surviving…

being on trend

I sometimes struggle with trends. I love fashion, but I don’t want to be a slave to it. Usually when something new is booming in popularity, I try to avoid it for long enough gauge my actual feelings. I would rather be fashionably late to the party than rush in…

the cold shoulder

I have quite the collection of oversized or thick sweaters which I love to wear, but can’t fit comfortably under jackets. That’s a must for this time of year, when even a warm knit is not good enough on its own to stand up to the temperatures we’ve been having. Lucky for…

wardrobe staples

Sometimes it can be hard to tell if an item will be more than just a one-hit-wonder when shopping. I can think I’ve fallen in love with something and snap out of it just as quickly. Not an ideal situation to get the most for your money. I have learned this…

how to get the best deals this holiday season

recycle

I’ve always been one of those people who falls into a bit of a fashion cycle. Or maybe a recycle? I get into a routine of wearing the same things for a few days, especially when I don’t have work or many plans. Usually these outfits are comfy, simple and fairly…

black tights

Sometimes the weather forces me to make a few outfit compromises. With the main one in winter being wearing tights. I generally prefer bare legs and hate the constant possibility of tearing my panty hose, and the annoying way it bunches or cuts in at the waist. Regardless of these setbacks, there comes…

winter whites

I’m not sure where the saying that you can’t wear white after labour day came from, but I’m not buying it. I think white looks crisp and fresh in all seasons, and these pants with a sweater, coat and booties are totally fall appropriate. As you all know I am…

and the sun is shining

Hard to believe it’s supposed to be winter around here! I’ve been wearing different variations of the same thing the past few posts. It’s nothing new! No matter how much clothing I have, I seem to rotate through a few outfits at a time. Because of that, I have been trying to build a more…
