I got the new green moto in the Spring. It's a wildcard earthy pine green I don't usually wear. Well. Now I do! The new darker hair makes it work :)

Fab to wear Spring items in the Autumn. Double duty. 

The green wide Westbourne Ponte pants from Boden are a fortuitous perfect match. Today, I wore them together and LOVED it! As long as I add crispness to this green, I feel good in the colour. Hence the icy blue top - which matches my blue specs - and off-white belt and loafers. (NAS items this year).

I like wearing dressy flat loafers with wide pants! Relaxed Glam, to my eye. 

LOVE these pants. They feel heavenly, and are flattering and versatile. Great for travel. Got the red first - then the green. They replaced two pairs of wide pants that pilled. 

Wore this to work with a client today. Then walking Yorkies, doing errands, and everything else.

Sam and Jo wore their green collars to match!

Bad pics in the rental unit. Pic outside to see accurate colours. 

Thanks for looking. xo

In the dressing room last week. Excuse the bad light. 

The Loft cabled sweater vest happened to match what I was wearing that day. Fortuitous and meant to be :) ! It's a warm oatmeal so pass if you prefer cool-toned colours. (Wish it came in a pearl grey for cool toned people).

GORGEOUS quality and fabric. I'm impressed! 100% cotton. I think I paid $46 for it. 

The gold shoulder buttons add a nice bit of glitzy chic. 

I prefer this silhouette shorter, and bought a petite size, and sized down (I'm 5ft 6). 

I'm into sweater vests at the moment, and added a few to my wardrobe. Fun to change things up. 

Highly recommending this item if it's your type of thing.

ETA: Wearing my new sweater vest today! Scroll through to pg. 2 for details if you like :) 

One of my favourite colours :)

New linen-lyocell-cotton blend casual pants from Zara. Feel sueded. Gorgeous fabric, and I'm impressed! Summery and full length. You might need to size up. They are lower in the rise, which felt off at first - but I got over it. LOVE! They crease in that linen-cotton way,  so you've been warned. 

Wearing them now with old COS polo sweater. A fortuitous perfect match! And new NAS loafers and belt. Old Furla.

WFH, errands, and the usual doggie walking today. Plus lots of visits to remodel construction site two floors up. 

Bad pics in the rental unit. Sorry! Hopefully moving back into remodeled loft by Christmas. Can't wait...

I made final decisions!

Did a fun fashion show for Greg, Sam, and Jo yesterday and this was the cream that rose to the top. I much appreciate how my hubs takes great interest in my style and is very supportive! 

Scored 9 KILLER-to-me items. I had a great NAS!  

Some of the items were on my shopping list. Others are wardrobe essential no-brainers. The rest - unexpected wildcards! I would never have ordered these wildcards online. They found me in stores in person as I passed them by. 

I got 6 items on my original NAS 2024 wishlist. I tried everything on the list - apart from the red Reiss pants (still sold out). The other items are great for someone else ;)

Excuse the terrible pics in our rental unit. Awful light and mirror, but you'll get an idea. I integrated the two pairs of shoes and belt into the outfits:

1. Navy L'Agence Patterned Silk Blouse: This is my 4th patterned blouse from the brand because I feel magical is this type of punchy classic top :) Very fluid fit. #Greg's fave!

2. Blue AllSaints Mesh Top: My 2nd one. I love alluring sheer tops! Great with suits too.

3. Whiskey Paige Ruffled Sweater: Wildcard. Layers well as seen in the photo with the jacket. Decided it's not seasonally confused! #Greg's fave! 

4. Toffee Dressy Pants: Unexpected wardrobe essential. #Greg's fave!

5. Pink L'Agence Tweed Jacket: Wildcard. I adore neon! And the playful colours in this classic silhouette had my name on it.  Very fun neon lining. #Greg's fave!

6. Gold Mary Janes: On my shopping list. Wardrobe hole. Worn them four times already! 

7. Cream Loafers: no-brainer wardrobe essential. 

8. Cream AllSaints Belt: no-brainer wardrobe essential.

9. Blush Cashmere Scarf: to replace a blush scarf that's itchy.

My 2024 NAS is done unless the red Reiss pants come back into stock. 

Thanks for looking! xo

Go Team Wear!

LOVE my new gold NAS Mary Janes. Just so pretty!!! I love pretty things :)

Worn with a new bold and unstructured shirtdress, plus10 year old orange Furla. The dress has a belt - but wore it without yesterday. 

Excuse the bad, bad pics. Probably in the rental unit till the end of the year. Remodel has been extended. 

Happy feet! xo

If I could have any casual white skirt in the world - this would be it :) 

It's long, flared, gorgeously cut, super comfy, plenty breezy, crisp, substantial, not see though, and like wearing my beloved white jeans in the form of a skirt!

I had the skirt altered, and now it fits perfectly.

Worn 5 times in a couple of weeks. LOVE this skirt! Forgot to take pics of the outfits - but remembered to take these yesterday. Errands, WFH, grocery shopping, and doggie walking.

New glitzy gold loafers are getting a workout. Very comfy, and complement most of my Summer looks. They filled a major wardrobe hole.

Excuse the bad pics - in a rental for longer. Jo in a collar to match :)

Thanks for looking. Waving at my skirt sisters! xo

These on trend cuffed wide leg Pilcro jeans are winners on a range of clients - and me :)  Curvier and straighter clients alike. The substantial denim glides over the contour of your body and fits your figure, IYKWIM. Not too wide. Versatile, forgiving, and very comfy. Pics taken in the Anthropologie dressing room.

They aren't that high rise - (although described as high rise) - because I'm short in the rise, and these work well. The cuffs are sewn in place, so they can't be hemmed easily. (I'm 5 ft 6). Perfect pant lengths with flat loafers. Try them if you're looking for similar!

When I don't want to wear white jeans, I kept reaching for faded blue Spring/Summer jeans - of which I only have one pair. (Passed on two pairs in January). Wardrobe hole. So I filled the hole with these. Happy! 

My #OOTD (yesterday): Old items except for the gold loafers, which was another wardrobe hole I filled. Perfect match with a gold belt I already had. Wore the loafers out shopping with a client, and they went the distance. Sized down and added an insole.

Jo in a collar to match :) 

It has been unseasonably cold here the last 6 weeks - hence I'm wearing jeans. Warming up soon though.  xo

This outfit is an entry for Mary Beth's "Favourites Things" challenge: 

https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....-challenge 

Worn to work with a business casual client last week - so I wore business casual too! On my feet running around shopping with a client all day. Outfit goes the distance! Very comfy. 

I'm a mood dresser who needs to mix and match as I please. (Which is why the restriction of working within a few tight capsules does not work for me). Woke up that morning and was in the mood for a creative clashing pattern mix. This is what I ended up with. 

Ralph Lauren Polo Pants: Favourite dressy white pants!

L'Agence Blouse: One of my favourite silk blouses!

Smythe Jacket: FAVOURITE BLAZER OF ALL TIME!!!

Maeve Belt: FAVOURITE WHITE BELT OF ALL TIME!!! 

Paul Green Loafers: Favourite dressy cream loafers!

Pearl Necklace: FAVOURITE!!! 

Furla: Favourite white bag! 

At least a third of my wardrobe is a favourite. My stuff makes me happy, and I'm grateful for that! :) I also have ALL TIME FAVOURITES like this blazer and white grommet belt. 

Excuse the odd photo taking area in our rented unit with bad light. It is what it is....

Thanks for the fun challenge, Mary Beth! Thanks for looking. xo

Randomly taken wherever I remembered to snap a pic, or hubs Greg did! 

Miss our loft! Hope to move back in around August when phase 1 of the remodel is complete. 

These are WIWs from the last week. Miraculously, I wasn't in white jeans daily ;)

#1 - #2 = To work with a client. Debut of the new red Mary Janes and they are GREAT! Plus demolition before heading off to my client....

#3 - #4 = A day of errands and doggie walking in an old dress, and new red Mary Janes. The flats are favourites already! 

#5 = Shocking pink denim on denim. Old items worn in a new way! Worn to a casual party, and to work with a casual client.

#6 to #10 = What I'm wearing now! WFH, errands, plus dog walking. All old items. 

#11 to #14 = Took Sam and Jo to the Pacific Ocean where they can run on a huge secluded and windy beach off leash, and have the time of their lives.  Both absolutely zonked in the car on the long drive back :) - (yes, I wear pearls to the beach).

Thanks for looking. xo

LOVE! (Bought with a giftcard). Hubs Greg loves it too! 

Perfect fit. TTS if you like a narrower fit. Made of a comfy and soft waxed fabric. Unique. Desigual, (from Spain), is becoming a go-to brand. 

Darker than expected, yet slightly sour so win-win for sour-colour loving me. AND, a good match with my new darker natural hair :)

Wearing it right away. NOW. Go Team Wear! 

Wearing it with golden oldies:

• 6 year old white jeans. (I've worn white and off-white jeans most days over the last 6 weeks. Good thing I have multiple pairs!)

• 9 year old Boden navy polka dot shirt. Buttoned to the top. Collar popped. My thing!

• 6 year old light blue Furla

• 2 year old light blue oxfords and 3 year light blue specs

Highly recommend the jacket. I predict it will become a workhorse like the red one. 

Hair is doing what it wants to do. Feels current to have hair fall in a relaxed and random way. I'm embracing it, and enjoying it!

Thanks for looking. xo
