Look of the Day: Long Overdue

Yes, you read the title correctly…a Look of the Day is fiiiinally on the blog! It’s been so long since I’ve posted one, but now it’s here with a vengeance. Not because there’s anything particularly extraordinary about my outfit, but because the photos turned out fantastic thanks to, you guessed it, Norma a.k.a Lapir0.

We shot these photos yesterday at sunset, and I had a blast. Nothing like working with friends, huh? Plus the location was beautiful and very Vancouverite. This is actually the second shoot we’ve done together here in Vancouver, but we are so bummed that Norma’s SD card seems to have gotten permanently damaged, and our chances of recovering the pictures from that shoot (which had turned out great as well) are looking pretty slim :(. Please cross your fingers that a miracle brings back those photos so I can share them with you guys.

Now, moving on to discussing the look a bit, well, it’s quite simple and self-explanatory. The only part worth mentioning is that this skirt is actually one of those dresses you can wear like 10 different ways, and although I’ve only worn it as a skirt so far, I love it! The color is one of my favorites, and the fabric so light and comfortable. It’s kind of the perfect item to lug around while traveling. I promise to keep you posted when I decide to get more creative and start exploring all the other possibilities this little blue dress has to offer.

I hope you guys have a marvelous weekend, I’ll be trying to make the most out of mine since it’s my last weekend here in Vancouver. If you want to get some instant updates on how I’ll be enjoying it, you can follow me on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram.

Look of the Day: For Real

This outfit is my new favorite! I’ve had this dress for years but kept it out of rotation for a while, but my new favorite vintage handbag plus my chambray shirt and orange platforms have given it new life. Finding a new way to wear an old favorite is as exciting to me as shopping for a new one.
This one I wore to a birthday lunch with friends to the Phoenix Art Museum a few weeks agos, but I highly suspect it will be seeing a lot of sunlight this summer. In fact, I might just wear it again this weekend to celebrate Mother’s Day. How are you guys planning to pamper your mom on their well deserved holiday?
Whatever your plans, I hope you enjoy them!

Look of the Day: Vest of the 90’s

Today’s look is one that I wore on my trip to Cabo, but since I didn’t really have anyone to take pictures of it over there, I decided to wear it during last weekend’s Looks of the Day photoshoot (and I’ll probably do some more Cabo looks that way, so stay tuned for those).

I am a big fan of vests (I might’ve already mentioned that) because I feel they really add that little extra something to make an outfit special, not to mention they are great layering pieces. I am particularly fond of cropped vests because they highlight one of my best assets, my waist. This denim vest is a recent adquisition, and I am in love with it, but also a little bit disturbed because it is soooo 90’s.

I’m sure it’s not news to you that 90’s fashion is back and the fact that the 90’s are now retro is exactly what’s bugging me! I mean, I can actually remember 90’s fashion, I lived it, I wore it… when it was brand new… Am I getting old or what?! (Don’t answer that!).

Anyway, regardless of my ‘getting old’ issues, I am fully embracing taking a trip down memory lane thanks to the new old 90’s trends. And I’ll definitely be re-visiting some of my favorite looks and pieces from that era, so stay tuned for that as well.
Do you have any favorite looks from the 90’s? Please share! They might serve as wonderful inspiration for future outfits.
