I love combining different shades of the same color. It's an easy way to create a polished looking outfit, and is great for when you are lacking in outfit inspiration. Pair up a shirt/vest, or blouse/sweater in the same color family for an easy outfit. I have seen a lot of 'sleeveless coats' lately; but this one is a fav. I love the draped structure. Also- these boots!! I had been looking for months for a pair of OTK boots when I came across these for under $50. I was sold by the gold detailing!

I had such an amazing weekend. I went to a 90s dance party, spent a night with friends having a delicious homemade dinner and watching movies, and went to a Holiday tea event. Bring it on Monday! If you're feeling a bit blah, or have a case of the Monday blues, be sure to check out this week's Monday Must Read which I post weekly on facebook & twitter. This week's is a great read on how to look forward to Mondays!

I have exciting giveaway news! Come on back to LLB tomorrow - yes, tomorrow- I am adding a special Tuesday post for this! I will be announcing a whole bunch of giveaways, with the first one starting tomorrow!

Happy Monday everyone! In honour of what is an insanely busy work week this week (I'm in court every day in multiple courthouses each day); I thought I'd show another work look. Unlike my post last week I wouldn't wear this outfit to court (have to stick to suits) but this is definitely a go to outfit for when I'm out of court meeting clients, doing research etc. I think this would be a great look for anyone working in a business casual office environment.

One of my go to fashion moves is combining different shades of the same colour. The outfit inevitably looks put together and chic. I wanted to compliment the three shades of grey in this look with pale pink as I am loving pale pink & grey together for spring. If you are ever feeling "stuck" for outfit inspiration definitely try combining shades of one colour and let me know how it goes!

Have a great day everyone! I'll be back, as always, on Wednesday with my Wednesday Wants. Thank you SO much for reading and please follow me on instagram or bloglovin' as well (link button at the bottom of this post)
