Scallop Layer

Sleeve me Speachless

I'm wearing my cute tie-sleeve sweater again. I can't help it, it is so comfy! Again, I layered it over a bell-sleeve blouse. It's one of the few sweaters that can accommodate such elaborate sleeves, so I have to make the most of this golden layering opportunity! To add a bit of springtime flare, I threw on my red bandana scarf and trusty Hunters! Spring is the air, but it is still very much cold and wet. This outfit is the perfect seasonal cross-over look. The key to perfecting an early spring look is creative layering and rubber boots!

Bells and Boots

Last minute night at the hotel because your house isn't ready yet? I had to get crafty and pack a bag quickly. Please note I would have packed a bag ahead of time had a night at the hotel been in the plans. Seeing as the plans changed, I decided to grab the clothing from the top of the boxes. One easily identifiable box was that of my Hunter boots, and it was sitting neatly on top of the pile. Perfect! The forecast is calling for rain tomorrow anyways. Now I remembered recently wearing my red striped shirt, which would match the boots. I opened the last packed box and sure enough the shirt I was looking for was there. Right next to it was the tie-sleeve sweater. I grabbed it for layering. I finished off by reaching in for a pair of jeans, crossing my fingers they would complete the look, and I got lucky once more! Now for some PJs (again, in the same box) and my toiletries. Done! Bag packed in less than five minutes and I ended up with a perfectly weather appropriate look that matched my red boots! Word to the wise: don't expect this method of box-diving to guaranty a well put-together look. You won't always get great results... A little planning goes a long way!

Ties & Bows

This sweater is everything! It is big and soft, is a neutral colour plus has the sweetest bell sleeves with ties! I am absolutely in awe of how great this sweater looks and feels. It is definitely my new favourite! I also like how you can easily layer it over a more structured shirt to make it office-worthy, but could easily be paired with leggings for casual weekend dressing. I'm already considering wearing it during the next festive season, it will be roomy enough to allow me to indulge in all the holiday goodies! It's never to early too start planning your next holiday packing list... (That's me right here, the meticulous planner and packer!) I got a little bit carried away with the feminine details today by pairing my sweater with a big bow-tie blouse! The combination made me feel so girly and sweet. I don't think there is a cut-off age for wearing bows. The bigger, the better! Bow on, I know you want to...
