Tis the season for glam! It's perfect that we have a few more holiday parties scheduled because I've been looking for every excuse in the book to pull out this skirt again. Pleated midi skirts are probably my favourite kind of skirt...ever! They are so comfortable and look so done-up, and this season, the colour options are endless. Not to mention the high waist is perfect for every body type! I scored this one last year at Zara after the holidays and it has the perfect touch of glam for the season with it's the combination of gold, silver, and tinsel blue. But, there are so many others ways to hone in on the glam. Here are a few ways I love to do it:
What to wear to a fancy affair when you feel uncomfortable in everything you own? This was the dilemma I faced last weekend. I knew I had a wedding to attend but I had been putting off trying on outfits for a while because I knew quite a few of my pieces would just not fit anymore. Even though this was a good thing for me, it's never an easy pill to swallow when you come to the realization that some of your favourite pieces will never fit again. I wanted to wear something I felt good in, that was easy and didn't leave me feeling restricted. Enter the most comfortable piece of clothing I now own-- this blush pink jumpsuit. The satin like material is extremely soft and flexible, and I literally feel like I'm wearing pyjamas.
I'm not going to lie, at first, I felt a little funny wearing a pant suit to a wedding. I've always been a dress kind of girl! But it was probably the best decision ever! I felt free, flowy and a touch sexy. The suit is sophisticated, kinda risque, and need I say more about the colour? It felt great to feel great in what I was wearing, and I hadn't felt like that in a few weeks! I amped up the tone of the outfit with bold black accessories to make it evening appropriate. You can never go wrong with a vintage Chanel and drop earrings!
Sometimes moving away from our signature piece can be a great thing. It allows us to become comfortable in trying new things and leaves the door open for more possibilities. What do you think? Are you one to stray away from your go-tos? I've also linked some fabulous blush pink jumpsuits for your viewing pleasure. Because I already need another!

A weeks ago, on probably the coldest day in April (it even snowed!), Eleni, Jackie, Joëlle and myself headed to Lemonberry, our favourite boutique north of the city, to partake in a spring shoot for the boutique. The shop owner, Lisa, gave us the free reign to pull our own looks and curate outfits that were just our style. Immediately upon entering my eyes were drawn to this dress by Darling London. The pale, nude colour and subtle floral embroidery had my pastel loving heart fixated instantly! I love wearing the colour nude for spring; it's refreshing, airy and natural. The dress is a stunning piece on its own, but adding a playful element like this Shop for Jayu statement necklace really dresses up the entire outfit and makes it the perfect piece for spring and summer events.
The handbag is another stunning piece. The perfect mini cross-body and it's made with vegan leather. Matt & Nat actually stand for "material and nature". Their emphasis of living beautifully and being socially responsible is one that I am drawn too, and I love that Lemonberry is too!
I'm still obsessing over the pairing of these nude pieces and am just happy I got to prance around for a few hours in them! If I haven't sung Lemonberry's praises enough, you need to head over there for a unique find like this one!
The name of the brand really says it all, this dress is just darling, isn't it?!
