The Summer Blues...

I bought this ruffly Forever 21 dress months ago to wear to a local event, and it hasn't seen the light of day since. It's not exactly my favourite dress, but since I haven't shopped much lately, I figured it was time for a little remix.... right? Right. With this in mind, I paired it with an H&M blazer that also hasn't had much play, and threw on some neutral heels to finish things off... Easy peasy. Now if only I didn't have to remix so much lately...

Memory Lane...

I found this dress at the back of my closet, and doing so was like opening up a time warp or something... I had bought it yeeearrs ago, and loved it so much that I wore it to many an occasion. From nights out on the town (I had way more of those back then) to bestie-birthday parties where tails were actually pinned donkeys, this dress was there. So naturally rediscovering this old friend brought back a ton of memories... And at the end of the day, isn't that what fashion is all about? Expressing yourself while building the story of your life, one garment at a time.

Playing Dress-Up...

So after about a year, I finally broke down and got a haircut... Nothing drastic, but just enough to make me feel a little off, you know? Especially when you consider "hair shock," that pesky period right after a cut when your hair refuses to cooperate with you. How rude.

Now I don't know about you, but whenever I feel a little down I find it helps to dress up... Do you guys ever feel that way? Even though it was drizzling out, I decided to pair a Forever 21 dress I hadn't worn in ages (last seen here) with my favourite Rachel Rachel Roy vest. Yup, that's what I wore. To Costco. On a Sunday afternoon. No biggie...

What do you guys do when you feel down? We should form some kind of support group or something... I'll bring the ice cream! :p

In the Trenches...

Just a quick look at my outfit from yesterday... I bought this trench last weekend from the Gap, which was having a huge sale: 40% off already marked-down merchandise! Needless to say, it was a maaaaajor steal... Double fist pump!

So how is everyone celebrating the long weekend? I'll be volunteering at a local festival all weekend, but I hope to have a little free time to explore and have some fun... What about you?? Whether you're a fellow Canadian kicking it Canada Day style today, or a lovely American getting ready for the 4th of July, I hope you all have nice, relaxing weekends! Until Monday... xx

Purple Pleats...

Remember when I said you would be seeing more of the purple maxi tomorrow? Well, tadaah! It's tomorrow... ;)

Sooooo, what do you guys think? Not too shabby for a thrift store find, huh? I love the length and colour, plus the material is super soft to the touch... And check out those pleats! They're a thing of beauty, are they not? Move over, American Apparel; there's a new maxi in town...

Watermelon Woman...

Do you know what Mr. AIF said when he saw my outfit this morning? He paused, gave me an appraising look and said, "Aww I like your outfit, baby... you look like a watermelon." My boyfriend, ladies and gentlemen... :p
