If It Requires A Uniform...

This blouse is probably my new favourite shirt. I bought it last week at a second hand store for about 3 dollars, and I am in love! The graphic black and cream pattern is amazing, and it's made of silk so it feels like a dream. I can't wait for all of the forthcoming opportunities to style it!

Face Reality As It Is

On Thursday I went to do some second hand shopping with Lehla at Frenchy's. I only bought one blouse with an amazing graphic pattern, that I'm sure you will see some time later this week!
But yeah, this is what I wore..
Oh! And these are the high waist jeans that I bought in Halifax. I love them so much, and will be wearing them very often this fall/winter season.








I straightened my hair! It's such a nice change to have it straight and sleek; I've always loved and wanted straight hair. But wearing it wavy is a lot less work. And by the way, how you see my hair in my photos in not natural. If you're interested, I can tell you how I get my hair wavy in a  future post! It is extremely easy..

The Trouble With Trouble

Up until now, I have been very excited for the new fall season, and all of the different fashion opportunities. But now that it's almost here, I am no longer looking forward to it. Spring and summer are my favorite seasons, and I find it so much easier to dress for warm weather. I never know what to wear when it's cold, except for as many layers as possible to stay warm. But we still have a few more weeks of summery weather here, so I don't have to worry about it just yet.








This is what I wore on Sunday to watch The Five Year Engagement with a friend at her house.
 I wanted to be comfortable, and I also wanted to wear one of the new pairs of jeans that I have bought recently, so I couldn't resist wearing these new floral jeans that I bought from Dynamite!

The Best Thing About The Future

This is how I looked last week when I went to Halifax to do some shopping. I went with my friend Brittany, and I think she is a shopping lucky charm. Typically I find pants extremely hard to shop for, so I don't have very many. But when I went with her, I managed to pick up three pairs! Including a high waist pair of jeans from H&M, which I am so excited about! I've been looking for a pair for so long, and have never come across a pair that I could afford.








I love this high-low skirt from Romwe so much! It's so versitile, I think it's definitely become a staple in my wardrobe. I've ordered another, in black, and I can't wait for it to arrive!

If You Don't Know Where You Are Going

Today is going to be one of those days that is lazy, and a waste. But that seems much better than working. I'll probably spend the afternoon reading, or watching a few movies.
Speaking of movies, I just finished watching Never Let Me Go, with Carey Mullingan, Andrew Garfield, and Keira Knightly. Seriously, watch this movie.  It is about clones who are raised to be organ donors, to save people and prolong their lives. But the clones die at a young age, between their 20's and 30's. A love triangle forms between the three main characters, and it's sad, romantic, and heartbreaking. Altogether an amazing film.







I wore this to my best friend's going away party. I thought it would be cute to wear one of the shirts that we tie dyed together, and she ended up waering one too! And no, we didn't plan it :)
