A Personal Post and and Outfit of the Day

Last weekend, I had spent my time downtown at Brooke's apartment, (or as my british followers would call it, flat - I prefer saying flat over apartment). I had packed my bags and checked the weather report to find suiting clothes -although the weather man had once again failed to tell us a correct forecast. I came up with these two outfits! I was quite honestly tired of wearing pants and was in a spring mood to wear skirts! Luckily, I had packed knee high socks incase the temperature dropped! It has also been requested for me to do more of these "outfit posts" so this is me giving the people what they want! Let them eat cake!: Day 1:
I dressed down this cute little button up sweater with a button down. Love how the collar pops out on the top and peaks out at the bottom, it certainly adds a little bit of colour to the grey tights, socks, tank top and the black skirt and navy sweater.
Sweater: Club Monaco
Tank Top (Grey): Forever 21
Blue button up: Bluenotes (surprisingly)
Black Chanel-esque skirt: Forever 21
Shoes: Forever 21
Jewelry: Nothing but my two pandora bracelets I always wear and a gold virgin mary medallion
Day 2:
dino arms in the moment, dino arms... haha, excuse the scrunchie on the floor. had just taken my hair out of a ponytail
This was my outfit on Monday. I had a busy day, a few trips down to campus to hand in an assignment and such.I love wearing this skirt! Every time I wear it my friend Jeanine always tells me I'm dressed like Blair from Gossip Girl. Love how the camel colour looks with the red as well! If you want a waist-high skirt like this, I know american apparel sells one identical to it. If you pair it with a top or jacket that hits you at the waist it also makes you look super tall! Especially if you wear wedge shoes like I did. I ended up wearing this with different tights than the ones in the picture
Jacket: Juicy Couture
Red Skirt: Forever 21
The weekend was very cold and very long. Lot's of walking in my wedge shoes, which I really didn't mind. At the end of the day Brooke and I sat in her "flat" wanting some tea so we headed on over to the Royal York for a very late tea treat. If you're from out of Toronto, it's basically a lovely hotel that happens to always be filled with British blokes. The Queen also happens to stay there when she visits. The tea was delicious and we enjoyed watching parts of the Oscars in the Lounge.
Some yummy cupcakes I brought over to Brooke's as a token of gratitude for letting me stay the night:

Incase you are curious about my nails, this was what they looked like. A glammed up statement nail:

I also plan on doing a tutorial for this hair look, such a great easy way to have messy curls! It also makes short hair look long because I came up with a technique ;)
Talk to you all soon!
Lots of love xx,
