outfit post: my winter uniform

So...this is what I basically wear every day in winter, as long as it's not raining.  Although it does rain a lot here in the Pacific Northwest, so swap out my red coat for my rain coat, and you have my average outfit for the rest of the time.

I just love that a statement coat, a nice pair of jeans, and a good pair of boots is so so simple, and yet you look nice and put together.  I really like no fuss outfits.

Also, this coat is my favorite.  Totally one of those clothing items that gets compliments from total strangers.  I love it.

Umm...about the snow.  These photos were taken in Whistler a couple months ago, definitely not here in Abbotsford.  I'm a procrastinator, what can I say?

outfit post: peter pan collar & pastels

I really really love peter pan collars.
I'm shocked that my wardrobe doesn't contain more items with them, but I'm working on remedying that.  I found this top on ruche during a mega sale, and I'm in love!  I love pale pinks, and the lace detailing is just lovely.  I paired it with my mint pants and simple flats, and since it's Fall, and a bit chilly, I added my new favorite navy blazer for warmth!

 blazer: the gap // top: ruche // pants: stitches // shoes: charlotte russe

In other news, I'm off the Edmonton to visit Clara TOMORROW!   I cannot even express how excited I am.  I love that girl so much!

outfit post: too much TARDIS?

This is one of the geekiest outfits I've ever worn.....and I'm proud of it.

Some might say it's too much TARDIS, but I say there's no such thing!  I'm a sucker for geeky t-shirts, and this one even glows in the dark.  Be jealous.  Jordyn's boyfriend Bobby gave it to me for my birthday....so mega points go to him!

 t-shirt: toy traders // jeans: aeo // shoes: diy (originally from urban outfitters)

Happy Halloween Eve!

outfit post : fall basics + the best shoes ever.

I went thrifting last week and found some absolute gems - one of which are these shoes in this outfit post. Seriously. I am in loveeee with these! Real leather, a little heel, laces, some ruffles - basically, they're my dream fall shoe. 

So here's another back to fall basics outfit for you that Caleb was kind enough to snap away for me while on our Sunday afternoon walk together :) 

scarf:  ardene   /   cardigan: thrifted   /   jeans: ae   /   shoes: thrifted

Enjoy your weekend!

outfit post: sometimes simple is best

Sometimes simple is best.

I feel like this outfit is a combo of my absolute favorite basics in my closet right now.  There's my insanely comfy and soft chambray shirt, a cream lace top, and my fave skinnies at the moment.  And of course a pair of oxfords.  Kind of in love with them.

Also, if you think you see a bit of a sunburn on my chest...the answer is yes.  Our pumpkin and apple farm is crazy busy during the Fall, and I'm working outside everyday.  I'm learning the hard way that you can get burned even when on a cloudy, coolish day!  Blurgh.

 chambray, lace top, skinnies: aeo // bracelet: handmade by a friend // birdcage necklace: diy by me // oxfords: spring

Also, it's raining in these photos.  I know you can't really tell, except that's what those little flecks in my hair are (not dandruff...haha).  Hello Fall in the Fraser Valley I guess?  We've been alternating hot sunny days (today hit 24 degrees!), with overcast drizzly days....and it will likely just get colder and wetter as the weeks go by.  One nice thing about it is the lighting is nice all day!  Look on the brightside, right?

Hope you all had wonderful weeks!

outfit post: mint pants and plum trees

mint pants: stitches // top: dynamite // necklace: foreverxxi // ankle boots: winners // floral belt: wet seal

Let' just say that I'm still totally into the mint pants trend.  I don't even care if it's over or not...I'm so in love.

While I am looking forward to Fall, I really am savouring these last few days of Summer.  It seems we're in the awkward in-between seasons time right now, and the weather just can't seem to make up its mind.  I love the lightness and the soft summery colours of this outfit, and the pants give a little more coverage as the days get a little cooler.  

 

I definitely swooned over this shirt when I saw it on the rack, and the little detail of the single mint button makes it even sweeter!  

And I totally went all out on this top knot.  Yep, there are two braids and a bow involved as well.  Go big or go home, right?

These photos were taken by our plum trees!  I am so unbelievably blessed to live where I do, and I am going to miss our farm dearly when I (finally) move out!  But until then, get ready for many outfit posts taken in fields!
