Lately when I get home from work all I want to do is curl up under ten blankets wearing sweatpants. The "socially acceptable alternative" that I have come to as a compromise, is a cotton dress or tunic with leggings and a blanket scarf.

I am in love with this dress. The slight fit-and-flare shape, the 3/4 sleeves and the (fake) button front all add great detail to the world's easiest 'throw on and go' outfit. Be warned though that if you are tall (like me) this dress is definitely a tunic and not actually a dress.

I hope you all have a great Friday and fun weekend ahead. I need to take some time this weekend to de-stress so I think I'll be spending a lot of time in dance classes and walking on the sea wall (if the weather cooperates!) See you back here on Monday!

Fall Print Mixing - Plaid and Stripes

Flats: Old. Similar: here & here

Plaid & stripes are consistently popular in fall fashion. One thing I have received a number of emails about is how to "pattern mix" these two fall trends. So, today I decided to show you three outfits that mix plaid and stripes. This first outfit (above) has my absolute favourite new scarf. With this look I am sticking with the same color scheme in the plaid and stripes (red, white, black) to keep the patterns from looking overwhelming. The second outfit (below) shows a great way to incorporate stripes (okay, so technically it's "windowpane" but you get the point) other than via a striped shirt.

Infinity Scarf: Aldo

Pants: Old. Similar: here & here

Pumps: Nine West

Finally, this last outfit shows one of my favourite ways to wear blanket scarves- belted over a dress!
