Citron Summer Outfit

Pink Blush & Zulily Yellow & White Crochet-Accent Cutout Top $29, Old Navy Jean Relaxed fit Capris (Old), H&M Black Sandals $24, Steve Madden White Hobo Bag $49 , Ray-Ban Cyclamen Pink Mirror Cockpit Flash Lenses $170, Etsy watch (Gift)

I’ve received a lot of DMs regarding this outfit, so I decided to post it again to my Instagram feed and blog about it.

This outfit has an easy feel to it. The top from Pink Blush is airy and has enough style to instantly make it unique. That’s what I look for in any piece of clothing – original detailing that makes it different from any other piece of clothing in that category, whether it be the fitting, pattern, colour, stitching, cut and design of the garment, etc… Finding the right details is the key. Too much detail or the wrong detail could spell disaster. So, be cognizant of what flatters you the best and what parts you want to highlight.

Once you have that unique piece of clothing, then it’s super simple to add other pieces for any eye-catching and stylish Spring or Summer look. But make sure that the other pieces you are adding are simple basics. You never want more than two fashionable pieces to compete for attention. If you do have two pieces of clothing or accessories you want to flaunt, make sure that they compliment, not compete with, each other.

Finding your own personal style can be challenging, but with fashion consciousness and practice, you’ll be turning heads in no time. Well, that’s it for now. Until next time…

The power of red

Chicwish kiss me bow top in white $42.42 (reg. $49.90) , DSW Red patent leather pumps (old), H & M tweed pant $39, Kate Spade Martine Wellesley red leather shoulder tote bag $209, Ardene black with gold accent earrings $10, Banana Republic gold ringed bracelet (old), Lucien Piccard white watch (old)

This outfit it timeless and classic. It can be easily replicated by using any other type or style of white blouse, along with a tweed, or even herringbone, patterned style pants. A pair of plain black pants would do nicely, as well.

What makes the outfit stand out is the power of red added as an accent colour. It still keeps the outfit timeless and classic, and perfect for the office. It says a lot about your personality. It speaks volumes in terms of telling people that you are serious about business, but still like to have fun.

So, go ahead! Use the power of red!

It’s not too much to stand out with, but is enough to say, “I’m not like anybody else!”

Monochromatic winter fashion mix

Winners Black wide-brimmed wool hat (old), Danier Houndstooth Gloves (old), Calvin Klein Long Wool Coat (old), Sheinside Beige Plaid Sweater with High Neck $14.33 (Reg. $30), H&M Black Pants $39.99, Nine West Booties (old)

I wore a subtle, graphic-print, high-neck sweater to break up the monochromatic black outfit. It adds just enough pattern and interest to an otherwise plain dark outfit.

Wearing a wide-brimmed wool hat is a different take on a winter hat paired with an outfit that can be comfortably worn to the office or for a casual day out.

Every piece is classic and timeless, and can be mixed and matched easily with any other winter fashion piece.

A pop of pink

Soft Cuff Toque $20, Cabin String Mitt $36 from Roots Canada.

Old Navy Duffel Style Coat on sale for $38, Hunter Boots $130, Coach Bag $99, H&M Knitted Tube Scarf $12, H&M Sweater $56

I loved sporting this winter street style with a happy pop of pink. During the dreary winter months when all is covered in white snow, a splash of pink accessories just picks up my mood.

Bright coloured toques and strings on mittens are not just for my daughter. This toque sits perfectly on your head and slouches just right. I love that these string mittens make it easy for me to do what I need to do with my hands, without worrying about where to keep my mittens, and still giving me quick access for when I need to warm my hands up again. These string mittens are just unique and fun in their own right.

Go get them! Roots Canada has other colours available in both the toque and mitts.
