Pinterest inspiration!

Another cute look found on Pinterest!

Love this fun print!

Oh, hey! I swear I got dressed and went to work the last two days... I didn't however have time to write and upload two blog posts in a row! But I'm good now.. everything is back to normal : ) I'm wearing one of my favourite skirts here. It is from Forever 21 and it's just a great skirt to play around with! It's fun and bold and something a little different! 

A little hint of Sunshine

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! 

Purple prints

I love this skirt! Such a pretty little thing.. but boy o' boy I think I need to invest in some nude tights! HA! What was I thinking? Sadly I don't love the tights and shoes.. but the top portion is very springy and pretty! 

Classy fun

Happy Monday! OH, only 4 more day's until the weekend, but who's counting? haha I actually don't wear my glasses very often.. but man, were my eyes ever blurry today! Too much staring at the computer I guess! I bought this cute skirt at Simon's a long time ago and look forward to working with it to create more fun & colourful outfits!

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?!

Lady Like

Shirt: Urban Planet | Skirt: F21 | Shoes: Costa Blanca | Necklace: The Bay | Watch: Michael Kors

I have been seeing so many lady like pieces in stores and online lately and I absolutely love it! Pastels, lace, pearls, polka-dots... it's simply me in a nutshell! I can't wait to go on my spring "mini" shopping spree soon to pick up some new fun outfits! I'll be honest.. I did miss two outfit days last week.. sometimes I just feel I'm not up to par as to what I'm looking for on this blog and what I want to show you ladies!! I just want to bring the best everyday work outfits to the blog and let's face it.. sometimes we aren't always 100%! Bring on the sunshine!!  

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 

Lady Floral

Shirt: Old Navy | Skirt: Simons | Shoes: Costa Blanca | Tights: F21 | Necklace: Charlotte Russe | Watch: Michael Kors

I bought this skirt last summer in Montreal at a store I have never been to called Simons... AND it was heaven!! It was a huge store filled with adorable, my kind of style and my kind of price clothes! I loved it! Anyway, it was definitely new to me and I can't wait to make another road trip there to purchase some new finds! I know, I know, I could just order online but I'll be honest... I'm not that kind of shopper. I have tried shopping online but it just doesn't seem the same as seeing a dress in front of me, trying it on, feeling the fabric, you know what I mean? And I'll be honest, I have had some bad ordeals with online shopping.. let's not name names.. (ehem Just Fab) LOL Honestly, don't even get me started on that company! haha 

A little 'pink' me up!

Happy Monday to all my lovelies!! Now that I am looking at this outfit in photo format I think I should have worn a skinny belt! That would have really completed the outfit! But, that's okay.. that's what this blog is for! I put this outfit into the "Penny-pinching" section because I found this fantastic bubble-gum pink polka-dot top (of course) at VV (Value Village) for $5.. what a find! I remember growing up and my mom would have to drag me to thrift stores... BUT NOW I can't wait for their 50% off days.. it's so thrilling to shop the racks for fab finds like this top! Oh ya... I changed my hair over the weekend! How does it look?!!

Edgy Chic

I would link you to all my articles of clothing – but I'll be honest this is pretty much Forever 21 in a nutshell! So as you may or may not notice, I'm not looking at the camera! That's right everyone.. I'm being creative (or is it cheesy?) anyway, I thought I would try something different! I actually did go outside & take a picture... but to be honest, I couldn't get the camera setting right (not like I'm using them correctly now lol but still) ANYWAY I couldn't get the settings right and even though the snow is melting it's still in the negatives and I needed to scoot-ch my butt back inside. Give it another month and I may head back outside for round 2! 

Mrs. Alba's plaid

Oh Jessica Alba, my style icon! Have you seen how often she is in the style mags? She is always dressed to the 9's, whether she is in work-out gear or a night on the town; this girl just always looks fabulous! I have had this full plaid skirt since I worked at Le Chateau... that's going on 7 years ago now. Anywho, I saw this picture of Jessica Alba and I was so excited to re-create a similar work outfit! I'm looking forward to pulling this outfit out in the summer with sandals! Thank you Jessica... Do you have a style icon that never lets you down!?

Polka & peplum

Shirt: Forever 21 | Skirt: Le Chateau | Shoes: Suzy Shier | Necklace: Le Chateau | Watch: Michael Kors

I honestly don't know if I could make it a week without wearing something with polka-dots on it!! And today I'm wearing double! Crazy girl. They are definitely taking over my closet... Note to self: be open minded with other patterns! Regardless, I thought this outfit was classic with a fun flair! A perfect Wednesday pick-me-up. 

Gingham & dots

(via: Pinterest)

I love this look! I have seen this image floating around Pinterest for quite some time now and just love how the patterns mix so well together! I wish my skirt had bigger polka-dots, but what can ya do! To add some colour I threw on the coral bubble necklace and off I was to work! Yay! to a short week! 

Tulle skirt & Chambray shirt

Happy Family Day to all my Canadian lovelies! I have been seeing "this look" for some time now and love it! SO! I thought I would try it out for myself! So here you have my variation of the tulle skirt & chambray shirt outfit! I like how it has a county chic type look to it! Perfect for the office and then out for after work drinks! Cheers 

Happy heart day!

Sweater: Banana Republic | Skirt: Target | Tights: F21 | Shoes: Suzy Shier | Necklace: F21 | Watch: Michael Kors | Bracelet: Just Fab

Happy Valentine's Day! Yep, I'm that girl who wears red & pink on February 14th! I love it; hearts, flowers and chocolate! Just perfect! My darling and I went skating on the Canal tonight and it truly was a perfect night! Except... I can feel it now.. the bruises starting to form!! I hope you're having a great night too and spending it with loved ones! <3 

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! 

A switch of colour

Inspiration: Kristin Cavallari 

Obviously I found this amazing inspirational photo of Kristin on Pinterest! What a fantastic colour combination she put together! These are the types of things that I truly enjoy finding... I probably wouldn't have put this top and skirt together myself! So how great is that.. just another work day outfit for the books!  

Striped out

Happy Monday everyone! So this outfit was going to be a "copy cat" since I found inspiration last night on Pinterest to pull the turtle-neck out from the depths of my drawers...but that just wouldn't suffice! I had to proclaim that I purchased this awesome stripped turtle-neck for a whole toonie! Plus no tax! Have I mentioned I love shopping for deals? Anyway, Joe Fresh had this on sale and I did a little shopping when the store had a no tax day, and there we have it my friends! Just can't beat that! 

Coral stripes

So this may be my favourite colour of the season! I'm not sure if you can tell.. Skirt, sweater, necklace... and although its not shown here.. I wore my coral winter jacket and scarf too! Too much? haha So as you can see I purchased my skirt at Zellers and I don't know about you, but I never thought too highly about the store that's going out of business but to my surprise they have SUCH cute clothes.. and who doesn't like a "going out of business discount" too! So that's all fine and dandy but the thing I am most excited about is TARGET is coming to Canada and taking over Zellers whoo hoo!! I can't wait for spring shopping!
