TBT - Jungle Look

This outfit is the perfect example of how to wear a summer staple into fall. This bright green skirt gets a lot of wear during the warmer months and I was trying to figure out how I could transition the piece into the cooler months. I started by layering a plain white tee under a leopard-print cardigan and finished off with cognac accessories. The look turned out great. By pairing the skirt with tights and boots in a warmer colour, it easily worked for fall. I also feel it has a slight jungle feel to it with the leopard and the green... Have you ever heard the culinary world saying: what grows together, goes together? I guess a similar principle could be applied to this outfit: colours and patterns that are found together in nature would harmoniously coordinate in an outfit. I'm am totally using this theory from now on!

TBT - Caramel Apple

Now that it is warmer, I'm throwing it back to when the temperatures were slowly dropping: fall! The warm tones of this look are so inviting and comforting. The richness of the camel and burgundy are really making me think of apple cider and falling leaves. The quilted vest is a key layering piece and cozies up the look. Apple picking, raking leaves and carving pumpkins are what pop to mind when I see this outfit. A quintessential fall look!

TBT - Luck o' the Irish

Happy St-Patty's Day!

It seems all special holidays fall on Thursday's this year... I therefore dug through my throwback pictures to find an outfit with green in it. I'll admit the blazer is more on the teal side, but the lace shirt is definitely forest green! I paired the tops with my trusty black skinny jeans and camel boots. I decided to wear a skin-coloured camisole to really showcase the lace shirt over top. This look is giving me major Riverdance vibes! The lace, the different shades and green and the black bottoms are all elements found in the Riverdance costumes. I would know, because ever since I was about eight, I've been a huge Riverdance/Lord of the Dance/Feet of Flames fan. I'm what you would call a closet-tapper! I've recently started taking tap class again after a ten year hiatus and could not be happier hoofin' it!
