Value Village Finds: White Leather Shoes

Shopping at Value Village aka VV Boutique is always better outside of the city, so I went on a mission and hit up VV north and south of the city.  I found some pretty sweet stuff.  My favourite find was a pair of never-been-worn white leather shoes.  Love them!! They have a perforated pattern pattered and are lace-up.  I also found this floral and lace swing top that I belted with a vintage gold belt I already owned.  I’m also wearing my yoga jeans by Second Denim that I can’t get enough of.  Sunglasses are from Opticianado – the coolest sunglasses store in town.  JD

Sun Lace and Paper Flowers

Someone told me I looked like Little House on the Prairie in this outfit, but CM stuck up for me and said “no, it’s a 70s inspired look.”  Thanks CM, I think so too.

I love the look of a long 70s inspired maxi dress.  I found this floral one at Forever 21 and was impressed with its quality.  I paired it with my lace vest from H&M ($39), a vintage gold belt ($10), and platform shoes by Top Shop from LAB consignment ($99).

Nail polish is Mint Candy Apply by Essie. JD

Colour Blocking

I wasn’t sure if I would take to the colour blocking trend a la Jil Sander, but after composing a few very colourful outfits – I’m now a fan.  Don’t get me wrong, I love my muted greys and tonal tans, but busting out colour with such gusto feels GREAT!  I wore this outfit last night and went out for some vino on Ossington.  While the rest of the world watched the Stanley Cup game, CM and I engaged in laughs, gossip, and shop talk.  Who won the game again?  JD

Outfit details:
Angle skirt – H&M $39
Cropped t-shirt – H&M $10
Cropped blazer – H&M $29
Platform shoes – Top Shop from LAB consignment $100
Vintage gold belt – Print Fine Vintage $10

New heels got me wobbly…I fell.

Spring Weekend Wear

This is my ‘strolling the city’ weekend look. I pieced together something warm, but not too warm, that married comfort and style. Comfort is key in my world.

Outfit details:
Second Denim Yoga Jeans – Shop Girls Gallery Boutique ($110)
Cropped sweater – H&M ($24)
Army inspired jacket – Esprit ($45)
Oxford shoes – Joe Fresh ($69)
Vintage gold belt – Print Fine Vintage ($10)
Neckerchief – gift from my Mamma

P.S – thank god for Yoga jeans – these pups allow me to be comfortable and still look stylish. Perfect for days I can’t handle wearing tight clothing. I need to get another pair in black or white or maybe every shade possible. JD
