Faux Leather Pants for the Office

Ladies faux leather everything is in this season.  Pants, skirts, blazers, jackets, dresses, etc.  It's everywhere and although I love me some black, because it goes with everything, I am really drawn to the chocolate brown shades this season.  I wasn't going to go out and buy the pants because I already have a pair of skinny faux leather pants, see here, but since my oldest purchased these, I thought I'd give them a try and now I  haven't given them exactly back. LOL!  Eventually she'll come looking for them but for now they are safely tucked into the drawer of my dresser.  

She styles them with cute crop tops and AirForce Ones, and I styled them for a day of meetings out of the school and teaching in the afternoon. I love the relaxed fit, as opposed to the skinny/legging look, and also the high waist.  I will not be jumping on the low rise trend this time around, thank you.  Another favorite addition to my closet this past year has been relaxed fit button ups.  They are easy to wear all year long, casual or dressed up.  I now have a white one, see here, this off white almost subtle tie dye print, and a soft blue linen one.  To style this office look I stuck with low heeled pumps, a simple watch, initial style necklace and studs.  For a pop of color I went with Maybelline lipstick, and it's cool around here, so a trusted wool coat is a must.  This is likely the last time you'll see fall pictures here for a long time because we got our first snowfall and it's likely here to stay.  Bye bye fall, hello winter for the next 5 solid months, maybe 6.  

Are you digging the faux leather trend?  What pieces have you added this fall to your wardrobe?

Tween & Teen Gift Guide 2021

Tween and teens can be tricky to buy for especially if you are not looking to spend a million dollars on the newest technology trends out there, which sometimes Santa can help out with.  Each year my girls, currently almost 12 and almost 15, compile a list of items that are reasonably priced to give ideas to grandparents, aunts and uncles.  We don't like getting a bunch of stuff that will either be returned, donated  or tossed in a few months time.  Although usually your teens have a hobby that they are also really interested in such as dance, horseback riding is a big one for us, snowboarding, etc, this list is more generic to suit most teen girls go-tos for this holiday season.  Some of the items are old favorites such as gel polish that can last for up to two weeks, or candles, while other items are HOT this year such as the Oodie (see #3) or the Sunset Lamp (#1).  Also books are always a personal choice but I've linked two different YA sets that both of my girls have enjoyed and To All The Boys I've Loved Before has been made into a movie, while Shadow and Bone is a Netflix show!  Hope this is helpful to you!!!

Puffy Sleeve Top Three Ways

Hello from the last days of summer vacay.  Where did the summer go?!?  So much time spent with friends and family.  Days at the beach, on the boat and reading, playing games, going for walks and bike rides.  I've slowed down to the point on not doing anything really productive and honestly I've kind of let it happen.  But now it's time to start getting back into routine and what better way than to start thinking about some outfits I want to put together as I transition back into normal life and out of my bathing suit and sweat pants.  

Today I am sharing how to style a simple puffy sleeved tee.  The puffy sleeves are still going to be showing up for fall 2021 but they can be subtle like in this otherwise simple tee.  Although I love a good statement top, one is coming your way shortly, I do love the simplicity of a this top with just a touch of detail because it can be worn over and over again.  I also love the soft pink color as it pairs so well with many other styles and colors.  

#1 Summer is Still Here People

Although I am thinking of back to school/work, I am using all the summer weather to its full capacity.  I won't be trading in my summer shorts for layers until the weather makes me do it.  You guys fall/winter season is long enough in Saskatchewan, I don't need to rush it!!!!  That being said, I've worn this little combination a few times this summer and I am not ready to be done with it.  Checkered shorts, paper bag waist and puffy sleeves.  I just love this outfits, paired either with flats or sandals, it's adorable.  And for a pop of color, I added my trusted Kate Spade purse.

#2 Date Night/ Summer Wedding

This skirt makes a statement all on it's own with the bright colors and the floral print.  It's just gorgeous all on it's own so pairing it with a simple top is the way to go.  The blush pink paired perfectly with the bold red, to create a beautiful ensemble for a garden party, lunch/dinner date or even a summer wedding outfit.  

#3 Casual Please

Anytime I buy a top, I hope that I can wear it casually as well and I think it pairs super well for an easy style with my acid wash mom jeans.  Fashion alert, fall is BIG on acid wash jeans.  It's pretty and feminine but in a very subtle way, taking a little bit of the edge off.  You could pair it up with some heels for drinks out or stick with sneaks as I did for a completely casual look.

As always, I thank you for stopping by and supporting my little blog.  Have a lovely weekend.
