New In - Transparent Long Sleeve Shirt

I had this random second hand fabric laying around that I decided to put to good use. The reason I never used it was I thought it was just a bit too cute and slightly juvenile with all the flowers. But with the summer coming, I know I'll definitely end up using a light breezy floral top.

What I Wore - All Blue

Just a quick look at what I wore yesterday. It is definitely getting a bit ridiculous how much blue clothing I have. Absolutely no confusing what my favourite colour is.

New In - Crop Top and Skirt

I managed to get pictures of my new skirt with my new crop top. I personally wouldn't wear the two pieces together on their own because they look a little too "teenage club girl". With something on top, like this peplum blazer however, the skimpiness is toned down with just random flashes of skin peeking through.

New In - Another Flounce Skirt

As I mentioned before, I went through my wardrobe and decided I needed some fairly basic black pieces. One thing I really wanted was a cute black skirt. I decided I needed something that was on the plainer side but not boring. Perhaps not picking the most imaginative choice, I've made myself another short flounce skirt. 

Here's just a quick look of first the front and then the back. Really excited for when the weather will finally warm up and I can put this piece into rotation.

What I Wore - Cropped Sweater

Every once in a while you come across an article of clothing that really makes you question its use. Like what you ask? Well how about a cropped sweater. A thick sweater to keep just the very top of your body warm. Let that belly of yours freeze!

Obviously if you're like me, your closet is full of random pieces that most people would balk at. However, I think a cropped sweater is a great layering piece. What's the point of having nice tops if the whole time it's cold you never see them under sweaters and jackets? So yesterday I pulled my cropped sweater out to wear on a day where the weather was working with my outfit instead of against.

New Loose Breezy Black Top

I'm getting ready for summer by making some loose tops. I know black isn't really the most summery colour but it's what my wardrobe needed. I remember years ago I used to wear nothing but dark colours but recently I've moved onto lots of colour and prints. That being said, I think it's really important to have a couple black basics in your wardrobe. So with some black fabric I had laying around, I made a really loose fitting top. 

This top is very rectangular and flowy from the front.  

 But from the side to keep things interesting, it's open to give a peak of whatever you're wearing underneath. A nice simple black tank to wear out on summer nights.

What I Wore - Grey and Red

Spring dressing is a little different when your Canadian sometimes. You'll have days like yesterday where it's actually pretty warm (+5 and sunny) but you're still surrounded by snow. You can't pull out the fun spring clothes (like skirts or florals), but still don't want to dress depressingly wintery. Hence me going for a fun colour combo instead. 

I finally managed to get better photos of my faux fur sweater up on the blog. Love the faux fur on this sweater. The varying shades of grey and how they're blocked out, stop it from being a boring grey sweater. I think the fact that I can even consider a fur sweater could look boring, says way too much about how I like to dress.

The Perfect Nude Polish

I'm on the search for the perfect nude nail polish colour. Out of the five I have, I'm leaning towards the middle finger and my thumb. I think none are yellow enough which pretty much sums up the problem I always have when it comes to matching my skin tone.

What I Wore - Navy and Camel

Still not spring in Montreal but at least it's no longer freezing? Just a quick outfit post because I haven't blogged in forever.

New Blazer

This is my first ever attempt at making a blazer. I had some issues with the collar not laying right which i'm pretty sure is because I chose a bad interfacing. It's actually not that bad in this picture but worse in real life... Hopefully next time it will work better.

What I Wore - White Coat

I have a couple of things I've been working on that I haven't been able to get up on the blog. In the meantime I've been running around trying to get things done, which for some reason hasn't been working out. Here's just a quick snap of what I wore today. I think it is amazing how much of my closet is made up of things I've thrifted or things I've sewn myself. This one in particular is almost all thrifted.

What I Wore - Red All Over

Sometimes when the weather is cold and dreary I like to dress bright and colourful to make myself happier. 

I decided to go red all over because red is fun and I've worn mostly black the last couple of days.

Another Summer Skirt

What? It's still -8 degrees Celsius here in Montreal but I've decided to move on to spring thinking. It might have something to do with how easy it is to sew skirts. Couple that with my stash of random fabrics and cheap second hand invisible zippers and there's no way I can stop myself. My legs are in no shape to be photographed so instead here's a quick pic of my skirt.

What I Wore - Faux Fur and Leather

Yesterday I decided to wear my new sweater paired with my leather jacket refashion. The sweater is ridiculously warm so it was okay to wear running a couple errands during late winter. It was definitely more weather appropriate before I took the picture and it started to snow.

Faux Fur Sweater

So I may or may not have a slight obsession with faux fur. Instead of going the coat route, somehow I decided I needed a faux fur sweater! The fabric itself is a thick faux fur which I lined with a black satin. I wanted a high neckline and because there isn't any stretch to the fur, I put a zipper along one of the shoulders. If you look at the picture you can see the black suede zipper pull on the right shoulder. Haven't had time to get a picture of it on, but wanted to get it up on the blog since I haven't blogged in a bit.
