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)

90's Girl Boss

Similar Shirt here & here // Pants // Shoes c/o // Necklace c/o // Sunglasses- the designer version & dupes

Ever since 90s fashion came back as a trend earlier this year, I've dabbled with the idea of incorporating styles - like the choker necklace - into a work day look. So, with this outfit, I finally pulled the trigger on that idea - and I love the result! I felt like a complete boss circa 1994 in this outfit - think Sarah Michelle Gellar at a press conference haha.

The choker necklace is obviously the central piece of this look (it's so fun!) but I also wanted to keep the 90s vibe alive by sticking with flowy materials and fabrics - a 90s staple. Pairing this loose shirt with these work day track pants definitely gave me the look I wanted.

I added in my favorite Chloe dupe sunglasses and some killer statement heels just to feel extra tough. Something about killer shoes & sunnies just makes me feel more confident! 

What do you guys think of this look?! Did I succeed in making the 90s trend work appropriate? Would you wear 90s style to work? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! Have a great work day everyone.

Wednesday Wants: Shoes

White Lace Up Flats //  Gold Glitter "I Feel" Flats // Tan Tory Burch Ballet Flats // Embellished Pointy Toe Flats // Scalloped Ballet Flats 

Nude D'Orsay Lace Up Flats // Yellow Bow Flats // Gold Scalloped Flats //  Tassel Loafers

I have been having major shoe cravings lately. All I want to buy is shoes, and I have no real idea why haha. I've justified my shoe craving by saying that flats - especially ones for summer - are a great investment. I am a definite heels girl (no surprise there!) but in the summer I find myself walking so much more while at work and thus turn more frequently to flats.

All of the above options would be great to wear to work - except the gold glitter ones which, come on, had to be on this list since they are so darn cute. Those i would wear on the weekends, for sure.

Do you wear flats more frequently in the summer? What items are you finding yourself craving this summer? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! Have a great day everyone.

Fri-yay! It's finally here! My-oh-my that was a long week. I am so excited for the weekend. Tonight I am having a couple colleagues over for drinks and then plan to spend the rest of the weekend relaxing.

This has very quickly become my favourite weekend outfit. I have been showing so many office wear posts lately that I wanted to change it up and show a standard weekend look for me. Faux leather leggings and a tunic always feel put together but so comfortable! I am in love with this Lush tunic! It comes in so many colors (I also have this one) - but heads up, the V does cut really low (just so you are prepared!)

Do you guys have "go to" weekend outfits? What do you wear most on the weekends? (...Tell me someone is with me on this leggings and a tunic trend! haha) Have a great weekend everyone!

Ps. my lovely friend Jeanette took this photos for me!

Her work is so versatile (and lovely!) and she is the sweetest human. Her website is here.
