Put a Bow On It

Blouse c/o // Pencil Skirt // Heels c/o // Handbag

// Lipstick in "Anita" (the BEST nude lipstick!)

I have the hardest time finding pencil skirts I like. Something about the shape just never works for my body type. So, when I found this exposed zipper skirt I fell head-over-heels in love. The zipper allows you to make the slit as high or as low as you like which, I found, helps me make it sit better on my body. Win! Ps. I got this skirt using Ebates. You NEED to be using this program if you aren't! You click through to your favorite stores websites via the Ebates site and then you get cash back on all your purchases. No catches, they just mail you a cheque with your cash back. I use it every time I shop online and love it!

I also really like this olive bow blouse. Lace up tops are everywhere this season, but this is the first time I have found one that is work appropriate. It's a great compliment to the pencil skirt and the black and crocodile print heels! A perfect work day look! 

In other news, I am heading out on vacation tomorrow afternoon for a week and a half. I'm off to Toronto to visit friends and then heading to Aruba with my mother for a week. I am very much looking forward to it, though I *may* have gone a bit overboard on my book shopping... (see my instagram story for more haha)

Wednesday Wants

Bow Blouse // Camel Pencil Skirt // Camel Suede Pumps // Handbag // Silk Ribbon Bracelet // Tassel Bracelet

Flared Jeans (on sale!!) // Burgundy Turtleneck // Plaid Blanket Scarf // Ankle Boots

I am SO excited to tell you that it is (finally) easier to shop my posts. In addition to the links I always provide, the photos themselves are now click-able. Click on any item you want to see and you'll be taken directly to it *happy dance*. It took me an embarrassingly long time to get this done, so hopefully I get quicker at it each week! 

In case you missed it last week (see here) I've changed my Wednesday Wants a bit - instead of a mix of items I want, I will be showing items that work together for both a work day outfit and a weekend outfit.

As you can see, right now I am really loving camel and burgundy tones - they have made their way into both my work and weekend outfit ideas for this week. The camel pencil skirt is such a wardrobe staple - I highly recommend it as it can be worn in any season. Pairing it with the bugundy handbag and gorgeous navy and burgundy silk bracelet make the outfit perfect for a fall day at the office. 

For this week's weekend look these jeans on sale are AMAZING. Paired with a turtleneck and plaid blanket scarf you have a chic but cozy weekend outfit. 

I am still coming down from the high of seeing the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge this past weekend (more on that here if you missed it). I was very inspired by Kate's bold outfit (red pumps!) and I will be incorporating bold colors and details into my outfits this fall as well.

Late Summer Leopard

Blouse- Similar: here & here // Skirt- Similar: here & here Shoes- Similar: here // Rings- Aldo

Leopard print is a fall staple; but I like introducing it into my late summer wardrobe as well, combined with cream. A bow blouse is also a perfect work top!

I hope you all have an excellent weekend ahead of you! I don't have too much planned yet, but the weather is supposed to get warm again so I am planning on spending at least a couple hours down at the beach!! See you all back here on Monday with an exciting office fashion related post that I cannot wait to share with you!
