Time to Shine

Rise and shimmer & shine! Casual Friday never looked so shiny! A subtle shimmer in a top is an easy way of wearing a bit of bling to work, and it sure jazzes up a simple t-shirt. This navy T is from Banana Republic and they have a cute selection of metallic t-shirts. They are comfortable and super easy to style. I paired mine with girlfriend jeans and a navy blazer for work. Just to go the extra mile, I added gold sequin shoes to the mix, but the outfit would be just as statement-worthy without them. I just figured the more the merrier. Bring on the sparkle, this lady is ready for the weekend!

Pastel Prep

With Easter fast approaching, I let myself be inspired by all the pretty pastel sweets! Turquoise and baby pink are abundant at this time of year, so I decided to colour-block a look based on the festive hues. Since I didn't want to go overboard, I topped-off my look with a utilitarian navy blazer to add structure and tone-down the whimsy. Another little trick I used was to knot my t-shirt at the waist. Seeing as it is metallic, I didn't want it to take up too much of the look. To keep my proportions in check, I made it shorter! Add-in some fur-trimmed beige booties to blend in with the tights and I had another great springtime look!

Printed Prep

I've sure gotten a lot of mileage out of these printed jeans in the last few months. Their blue and white palette is easy to match and the small print makes them versatile. Seeing as they are a bit more relaxed and fun, I decided to pair them with a structured navy blazer and plain white T to add a level of structure. The top of the look is very preppy, while the bottom is more free-spirited. They combination is well-balanced. Give your tailored pieces a new life by styling them in a casual manner. Don't be afraid to mix and match your dressy and casual pieces. The combinations can be refreshing!

Duchess Duds

So, today's look is completely inspired by the Duchess of Cambridge. The striped top, navy blazer, skinny jeans and wedge shoes is her go-to casual look. I've always been a stripe wearer and love my skinny jeans, but this outfit has become very iconic because of Kate. As much as I love it, part of me was wondering if it would make it seem like I was trying to emulate her. To avoid that, I wore nude wedges instead of navy one and added a leopard-print scarf to mix things up. I had to add a dose of Mimi to the mix and feel it made the look perfect for fall! How would you take a look inspired by an icon and make it your own?

TBT - Corporate Print

Printed pants can be styled in a way that makes them appropriate for a corporate setting. This particular pair is a small print in varying shades of blue, which makes it a more subtle print. I paired the pants with a crisp white blouse and a navy blazer that pick up on some of the colours found in the print. This look follows a basic outfit building formula that is: pants, blouse and jacket. Today's look is a twist on the basic outfit because of the print of the pants and the statement bow of the blouse. Sometimes it can be fun colouring outside the lines!

Trusty Chambray

Chambray shirts are the best! They are so versatile, and appropriate for almost any occasion. In today's look, I dressed it up a bit by going the preppy route. Add some jeans and a blazer and the look really comes together. Finish off with cute bow pumps, a marbled necklace and a bright belt to give it some flair. I feel this shirt can take you from business casual to monkey business and every business in between! If you don't already have a chambray shirt, I strongly suggest investing in one as soon as possible. Trust me, you will get a lot of wear out of it!
