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.

Thrifted Treasures

You know I love me some thrifted treasures every once in a while, and yesterday I scored a couple of them at a local Salvation Army store in North Vancouver. They are both bags, one being a cute little lady-like purse, and the other one a very 90’s small leather backpack. They were really lucky finds at $5 dollars each, and I’m so happy with them, I couldn’t wait to share them with you. So here I leave you with the photos. Stay tuned to find out how I’ll be styling them in future outfits.

Look of the Day: Fun vs Flattering

Well, remember when I was talking about wearing an outfit and not realizing it’s not quite working on me until I look at pictures of me wearing it? This is sort of one of those outfits…except I was somewhat aware that this top wasn’t the most flattering on me…but sometimes I feel like wearing something just for fun, even if it’s not my best look, and that’s allowed, right?

Thank goodness I discovered this pair of black skinny jeans before ever wearing this top, because pairing it with anything else would’ve really made this a total disaster.

These photos were taken the same day as my previous Look of the Day (but I’m sure the nice hair gave me away on that one, hehe). After a long day, I didn’t have much time to pick out a different outfit, so I just switched my t-shirt for this flowy top, white pumps for black ones, and voilà! I went from day to night and off to a very nice dinner date.
