Green Crochet and Jean Skirt







Green Crochet Tank: Joe Fresh ($6), White shirt: Thrifted ($3), Jean Skirt: GAP (thrifted via Value Village - $7), Sandals: Forever 21 ($8), Bracelet: URBAN ($10)

I recently found my jean skirt - one I thrifted 2 years ago! I love this one, perfect for summer. Decided to pair my crochet green tank and layered it with this white sheer shirt over it. Usually in the summer, I dont want to wear too many layers but this one wasn't bad as I was only running errands on the weekend. Cute and comfortable!

Happy Hump Day :D

Top: Wal-mart ($8), Skirt: Suzy Sheir ($7), bracelet: borrowed from mom, Sandals: Aldo -very old - $8, hoops: gift from mom-in-law

I finally own a pleats skirt, I had my eye on this skirt ever since spring. Best things come to those that wait - I usually dont like this quote bec I like to take action and not wait, but I can wait when it comes to clothes.

Hope you had a fantastic weekend! We are having very warm weather here in western part of canada, i love it!

Stripes and Wine (& Interview outfit)





Top: F21 ($7), Blazer: F21 (hand me downs), Skirt: CLEO ($20), Pumps: Steve Madden via Winners ($25), Watch: Fossil (gift)

I wore this to my interview recently, for a position I wanted to go into confidently so I put on my stripes shirt, a classic black blazer with an unexpected berry/wine pencil skirt. I think it always important to make a impression when  going for interviews if you dress up a little, show your personality while still being conservative.

Dressing good and feeling confident not only makes a good impression the moment they see you, it also helps you to answer the questions confidently. This was for a office based industry interview for a professional role in a municipality.

Would you wear this to an interview?

Peach Glow





Top: Smart Set ($10), Skirt: RICKI's ($15), Pumps: Steve Madden, Watch: Fossil (gift), Necklace: Wal mart($3)

If there is ever a day I want to feel sophisticated - i reach for a pencil skirt. I love the fit, brown color of this one alot, different choice than a typical black skirt. It also goes perfectly with a number of my tops. I decided to pair it with this peach glowing blouse -one of pastels shirts I bought this summer. I love this top, its billowy sleeves and the lace detail on the shoulder.

Hope you all are enjoying the summer!
