So, while this new system has only been in effect for a few short days, I feel like I should be happy for the progress. Small baby steps right? :)
My new job has also allowed for new ways of learning. While I've stayed in the same world, a new company has allowed me to learn even more about the industry and how similar companies can operate very differently from one to the other. It has also reassured me tremendously concerning my fears for the future and allowed me to realize that the majority of people in their twenties are simply trying to figure out what they want and how they'll survive to the next day. So while my over thinking mind may not have been able to process that knowledge a few months ago, now that I've had to interact with a new group of people, it's slightly comforting to know that I'm not alone even amongst strangers. Is that train of thought a little too morbid? ;)

Weekends for me are all about comfort. Comfort, while still looking like I tried a little that morning. 

That being said, I don't think you can ever go wrong with some jeans and a floppy hat. If there had been sun, then definitely a pair of sunglasses to complete the look :)

While I may spend most of my time in a library, writing a paper or sat in front of my laptop, I don't think it should take up the entire two days. I've quickly learned that a few hours spent outside is probably one of the most therapeutic things you can do, and a night out with friends (without worrying about what's due that upcoming week) is how I'll survive my university years. 

As soon as I saw this dress I feel in love and couldn't leave without it. That right there, is the true problem of a shopper ;) Right away, I saw myself wearing it super casually (like with these boots) or with a black belt and a pair of nude heels. 

I was also really pulled in by the colours of the flowers. The purple and lilac are so vibrant that they catch your eye right away. 
In terms of styling it, I decided to have some fun with the rest of my accessories and wear my burgundy hat and a berry toned lipstick. While I don't think it's always necessary to match everything, I had some fun doing it with this look. :)

I really love when I can wear dresses in the winter time.While I know that this year is not the norm here in Montreal, it's nice to be able to wear a dress and not feel like my legs are going to fall off. Pair the outfit with a wool coat, or even a leather jacket (on warmer days) and it fits perfectly.

I hope you have a beautiful week!<3

I love days when I feel super comfortable and happy in my outfit and that's exactly how I feel in what I'm wearing. Winter can definitely be one of those times of the year when we aren't all that motivated to put any effort into our style. However, we could let it be a season when we experiment and have fun with our wardrobe. Why not try different textures and combine some spring items with our warmer pieces...

 This blazer is quite a casual one, the cut fits really nicely with jeans or even paired with a skirt. However, you can definitely find some more fitted ones if your looking to pair it with a suit. My favourite style is the tuxedo blazer because they work for both casual and smarter outfits.

Winter is finally upon us and the mixed emotions are real. While I could sit here and complain about the cold, I'll instead, choose to simply point out that I love what the white snow does for my lighting. There, moving on. :) 

To be completely honest, I fell in love with this coat because of the collar. The fact that I can step outside, in minus degree weather, without a scarf is pretty remarkable. It's a perfect length for the days I want to get a little more dressed up but don't want my legs to freeze in the time spent outside.

The versatility of the coat is definitely a bonus and I've been in need of something a bit more clean cut. Too often, I get sucked in to simply wearing my down-filled coat that...let's be real, while it's very warm, isn't appropriate for all occasions. 

I hope you've enjoyed this outfit post! I know it's been a little while since my last update but I'm feeling much more confident about the content for the next few posts:) 
I'd love to know what your favourite style and beauty pieces are at the moment<3

Have a lovely week!

I have been absolutely loving the collar shirt and sweater combo this time of year. I find it automatically adds character to any outfit. I also love the layering aspect because, on warmer days, I can get away with not wearing a jacket. 

 
Today, I went quite light with my colours and paired a pale jean shirt with a light grey sweater. I feel, by doing this, it gave a little bit of a feminine touch to an otherwise casual look. 

 

Finally, I stuck with a pair of classic Topshop jeans and a vintage brown BCBG bag. Since my jeans and boots are both black, I figured adding a pop of fall colour, like brown, would pull the entire look together.

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

 I love this sweater, it's from Free People a few years back, but I'm quite proud to have kept it in decent condition (especially considering it's a creme/white colour). It's got this beautiful white embroidery in the front that adds a little classiness to the simplicity of the top. 

I hope you are all having a good week and let me know some of your favourite ways to relax before the start to a busy day!:)
