Spring Transition

Holly — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 03:45:13 +0000

Spring has to be one of the hardest seasons to dress for. It’s freezing in the morning, hot in the afternoon, and then freezing again in the evening. WHAT does a girl wear?!

Obviously, if you’re leaving the house for work in the AM and not returning home until late, layers are key. But if you’re heading out for an evening on the town, try combining some winter and spring clothes- like a heavier sweater, boots, and then a skirt. Showing that little bit of skin is a true sign of spring. The small patch of skin showing between my OTK boots and skirt is just enough to make you feel like you’re dressing for spring without freezing your tail off!

Also, I couldn’t possibly write this post without addressing the embroidery on the skirt. Embroidery is SO huge right now… it is everywhere! On pants, jackets, shirts, skirts, even socks… I’m definitely not complaining!

Are you as excited as I am to starting incorporating spring/summer items into your daily wardrobe?!

Black Pleated Sweater Skirt

I originally saw this skirt last year at Club Monaco and it’s been on my mind ever since. You know, one of those items that you want so desperately but you’re not prepared to drop the cash for it?

Well, the other day I was on my way home from work and I needed some groceries. Instead of heading to Safeway where I typically treat myself to a coffee while I shop, I decided to head to Superstore where I could treat myself to a peruse through the Joe Fresh section. And, just like it was fate, meant to be really, this skirt… an exact dupe of the Club Monaco one I had been lusting over for years, was hanging so beautifully on it’s plastic hanger with a price tag of $34.oo!! I was so excited I think I squealed out loud!!

Smart Shopping

If you have been following along, you know I attended Sask Fashion Week a couple weeks ago. Every year when I purchase my ticket, the age old question pops into my head “what am I going to wear?!” Well, another year older means another year wiser… this year, before I set out shopping I gave myself one major requirement: the outfit had to be something that I could wear again. I wanted something of substance to add to my wardrobe. Now I know a new dress is adding something, but I wanted a piece or pieces I could build off of. I wasn’t sure where I was going to find it or what I was even looking for, but this skirt and tank,seen in this post, were exactly what I was looking for. Since SKFW, I have paired these pieces with existing items in my closet and came up with some fun new looks!

This is the original outfit that I purchased for Sask Fashion Week.

For a more casual look I paired this tank with some ripped denim and roshe’s.

Same look but just changed it up by wearing black denim.

Paring this feminine skirt with a basic t gives it a more casual/edgy look.

A new outfit doesn’t necessarily mean spending money! The next time you set out to find a look for a specific event, I challenge you to spend your hard earned money on pieces that you can mix and match. I have created four looks with these two pieces. I will wear both these items countless times – money well spent if you ask me.

Pour yourself a glass of wine, pull up your favorite fashion blog or magazine for some inspo, and have some fun in your closet. Mix and match things you wouldn’t typically try. I promise you will surprise yourself!

Tell me about your smart shopping!

Xoxo,
