A little hint of Sunshine

(via: www.decorpad.com)

So it was Sunday night and I didn't have a plan of what I was going to wear today!! So where else do you go for inspiration.. Pinterest of course! Into the home decor section and then I just started skimming for great interiors with fun colours! I came across this photo and immediately connected an outfit to it! It's just another way to create new looks with the pieces you already own! 

Playing with Patterns!

I haven't posted a penny pincher for a while so I thought I would throw this one in today! I found this great cardi for $4 at vv... it's a Loft sweater and such a great all-around and versatile cardi! On another note, I have been trying to play with patterns lately and I find it works best if you keep a common colour throughout! How did I do?!

Fresh combo

Cardi: Joe Fresh | Shirt: Joe Fresh | Pants: Suzy Shier | Heels: Spring | Watch: Michael Kors

I love this colour combo! So springy.. and a big change from the last two days of black, grey & red! Kind of blah when I look back on it! Anyway.. last night I was laying in bed trying to think of some fun colours to wear together and this is what I came up with! I think it's fresh! As you can see my shirt & cardi are from Joe Fresh.. one of my favourite stores to shop at... and they just opened up a new store in my mall! Woo hoo! 

Spring Fever

Happy 2nd day of spring! Sorry for the missed outfit yesterday.. I was dress shopping for my parent's 50th anniversary that is coming up this Sunday, and the time just kept slipping away. I did find a dress however.. so I'm pretty happy about that! Maybe I will sneak in a "dress up" post and show ya! It is still very much winter here so my spring attire is, none-the-less still packed away, however I thought I would wear something a little more cheerful to brighten up the day.. and the snow! haha 

Preppy Tropics

I feel very tropical when I wear this dress! And let's be honest... I will take dreaming and thinking of tropical weather any way I can get! Oh, have you heard?... Another snow storm is on the way tomorrow! So I put on this dress and day-dreamed of sand, sun and pina coladas today and well, thats probably all it will be for a while! Come on spring!!

Grey Tuesday

My next purchase (among many, many others...) is going to have to be a red necklace! How cute would this outfit be with an extra bit of red to bring out the details in the dress! I found this interiors image on Pinterest, it's so strong and graphic and I love the pop of red on the grey walls.... and the black banister, oh my! Love it all! 

Are you a model now...

Cardi: Old Navy | Skirt: Forever 21 | Booties: Urban Planet | Belt: Charlotte Russe

Says my boss at work! Well, my my, Thank you Sir! I will take the compliment and run with it! haha I actually love this skirt but I find it so hard to work with! I think it's because you always have to find a pair of tights to go with every skirt & dress throughout the winter.. and sometimes the look would work soooo much better without!! Come on summer! I'm ready for tight-less legs and sandals! 

Spotted Dress

Here's another first! I thought I would make a post on thrift shopping! I love, love love going to the mall and scouring sites online but sometimes it's fun to shop the racks at the local thrift store. There is a certain excitement you get when you find an awesome article of clothing.. and it's only $5! How can you not love that! Well, thats what I found with this dress! Although I don't know where it is from, it was such an awesome find and perfect to pair with some leggings and a cardi! 

LGD

As you can see I am still trying to find the best spot to take outfit photos in our apartment! There aren't very many options left so I am just going to have to pick a place and set up my camera and leave it be!

When I'm reading my daily fashion blogs (you can see all the ladies under Blog Love) I always love it when you can relate to the stores that the girls shop at. If you have stumbled across Darling Ensemble and are looking for a gal who's wearing Louboutin's and shopping at Marc Jacob & YSL ... very sadly, I'm not your girl! : ( BUT I do love to shop for bargains and I think you can find awesome pieces from any store if you just know what you're looking for!

Not only do I look to other fashionista's for outfit inspiration but I like seeing the creativity and colours within interiors too! Even though I followed the path as a graphic designer I am still deeply in love with interior design  and like mixing them all together! Fashion, graphics & interiors! The perfect ensemble!
