Skeleton Grasp My Dark Virtue

Blouse, Lovely Day from Nasty Gal. Jeans, Zara. Jacket, Danier. Boots, Ralph Lauren. Bag, Coach. Belt, Guess. Ring, Nasty Gal. Scarf, H&M.

 
Really digging this Lovely Day blouse I just picked up from Nasty Gal. Initially I bought it with the intent of wearing it as shown here tucked into a pair of jeans, trousers or skirt. However, the blouse does have a longer cut at the back allowing for more versatility. The dark romantic florals of this sheer blouse flow oh so beautifully giving it a loose, yet feminine cut and the plunging V neckline is a bonus. Hence I am already pairing this blouse with a simple pair of leggings and over the knee boots in my head for its next outing.

Have a fabulous afternoon!

Blouse, Topshop. Skinny trousers and beanie, Zara. Cardigan, Wilfred (Aritzia). Boots, Ralph Lauren. Gloves, Winners. Bag, Gucci.

 

I have always been a fan of leopard print, however this season I was a bit fussy over having thee perfect leopard print. I found this blouse at Topshop, and not only were the size of the spots perfect, but they were pink! How could a girl resist a pink leopard top? Well…she doesn’t.

I wore my pink leopard top with a pair of skinny trousers and beanie that I picked up from Zara. It wasn’t too cold outside so I got away with wearing a 3/4 length sleeve cardigan and leather opera gloves. What’s your favourite animal print?

Cobalt Blue Sunset

  Sweater, skirt, H&M. Jacket, Danier. Boots, Ralph Lauren. Cocktail ring, Rachel Roy.

 
I have always been rather conservative when it came to wearing more than two colours together. In the past, this same ensemble would have been worn with a black skirt. However I’m trying to break away from this habit by incorporating a third colour into my outifits here and there. And I was rather pleased with the results produced by this wool blended skirt, biker style leather jacket and cobalt blue knit top with beaded detailing along the front shoulder.

On another note, although it is officially Spring, it doesn’t really feel like it with all the snow we keep getting! That being said it was nice that we scored with a beautiful sunset in the background before I dashed off to my event. Speaking of which, as I type this, the sun is about to rise. And no, I did not wake up early.

Happy Friday!!
