The Blanket Scarf

The blanket scarf… ah, such a typical fall must-have but for good reason. I have heard people poke fun of the trend calling those wrapped up in their leather coats and blanket scarves “Aritzia Blanket Scarf Zombies”. I have to chuckle… I am a self proclaimed Aritzia Blanket Scarf Zombie. I love them and I’m not afraid to admit it. I love how cozy they are, how you can wear them as a giant scarf or as a poncho/cape, I love that they keep my face warm during recess supervision, and I love that they add that little bit of dimension to any outfit. I typically wear mine folded in half to make a triangle and then wrapped around my neck however, lately I have been wearing it as a poncho and I am loving it.

This particular scarf is about 6 years old. In fact this entire outfit is old and I still love it! Finding new ways to wear old clothes is one of my favorite things. I suggest you pull up your favorite blog(s) (mine include, Jillian Harris, Sincerely Jules, Shalice Noel, and Gal Meets Glam) for a little inspiration, pour yourself a glass of wine, and make a big ol’ mess in your closet. At least one of the following will happen: you will come up with a sweet new outfit, you will find something you thought you had lost forever, or you will realize what kinds of pieces you are missing from your wardrobe and what you need to add the next time you have a little extra cash floating around!

Are you a Blanket Scarf Zombie?!

Eliasz and Ella

I was first introduced to this Canadian jewelry line at a photo shoot I did this past summer. When I was approached about modeling for the photo shoot I was hesitant. Although I do photos daily for more blog I don’t see myself as a model. In the end, I decided to do the shoot. The focus was recognizing Canadian designers and when I saw the stuff I would be wearing and the photographer I was going to be working with I decided to go for it. I figured it was an opportunity I shouldn’t let pass me by. More about that experience in the near future!

As mentioned, the shoot was focused on Canadian brands and this is where I was introduced to the jewelry line Eliasz and Ella. I wore a tone of their stuff for the shoot and loved it all. I personally find jewelry very hard. I like easy pieces that I can throw on with pretty much anything and this is exactly what most of Eliasz and Ella’s pieces are like. Very wearable… great for someone like me who doesn’t like to put a lot of thought into their everyday accessories. The pieces they sent me couldn’t suit my personality anymore. I love neutrals and golds and pieces that will easily mix with my current everyday favorites. If you look closely at my latest posts you will see these bracelets on repeat… I’m telling you the less thought I have to put into my accessories the better!

This brand is available online or you can shop locally at Trinity and Rowan (Moose Jaw, SK)!

I love discovering Canadian brands! What is your favorite?

What I Wore: Teacher Edition Pt. 2

I am starting to get more and more requests to share what I wear to work each day. Like I mentioned in my previous post, I don’t specifically shop for school clothes, instead I take my everyday wardrobe and make it work appropriate. This dress is a perfect example to show you how I take one of my favorite dresses to wear out and make it work for teaching.

Our dress code states straps must be at least two finger widths wide so this this dress is works. The length is perfect falling just below my knee in the front and a little longer in the back. However, this dress is quite tight fitting which I don’t always feel comfortable in when I am at school. I solved this problem by throwing on this GORGEOUS Free People vest I grabbed when I was in Vancouver last month. It is just so perfect for fall, I have been wearing it nonstop! I am usually very minimal when it comes to accessories but I decided to add this body chain and these gorgeous bracelets from Eliasz & Ella– more on them coming soon!

Best part about this dress? The price… $29.00! Get it here!
