Wrap It Up With a Bow

 

 

A little bit boho.  A little twist on the chambray shirt.  A little bow on the side.  What more could a girl want in a blouse?  I've had this in my closet for close to two months and I can't believe I haven't shared it on here until now.  Like the kimono I styled a few weeks ago, a wrap shirt was on my spring/summer wish list (see here).  I actually stumbled upon it when I was frantically searching for a straw bag that I could order online within Canada and I found it at Zara, along with this top.  The great thing about Zara now is that you can order and ship back for free.  I instantly knew I wanted this top and ordered it in both small and medium because I often find their sizing varies. For reference I keep the medium, mostly for the length. 

 

This blouse has too many cute details.  The obvious ones being that it's a wrap shirt, the side tie-up can be done in multiple ways but I prefer a big bow.  The sleeves have a bit of the balloon shape to them, the tassel tie-ups on the sleeves add to the boho, care-free style that I love for this time of year, and also the delicate embroidery ion the sleeves.  For $50 this shirt really had it all for me.  I can wear it casually out and about, or to work.  I can't wait to pair it with some denim and white shorts in the summer as I run errands around the city, or head to the farmers market. 

 

 

 

I recently wore this when we went out to watch the Cirque Du Solei show Crystal.  It was nothing short of phenomenal.  The talent, ability, strength, story, characters, were all incredible.  I was so glad we were able to share the experience with our girls as well.  They left inspired and in awe of the performance, and of course a huge appreciation for the arts and the performers. 



What are your wish list items going into summer?

Fashion Friday: Outdoor Summer Concert Outfit






The Jazz festival is a week long festival filled with great live music all over our town.  There is a free stage and several paid venues you can attend.  I love this event but unfortunately it always comes the last week of school and you usually I am so drained, and unorganized, that we don't get to experience it then way I wish we could.   Well this year it finally happened!!!!  Logan and I, along with friends hit up the outdoor concert venue to enjoy Walk Off The Earth. 



 

They were incredible live.  Sarah Blackwood was incredibly pregnant but that didn't slow her down.  Seriously, she killed it out on that stage and looked incredible doing it (FYI, I did not resemble her in any way, shape or form, while pregnant). 












This little dress from Old Navy was the perfect outfit to wear.   Pretty, flowy, boho like.  I just picked it up the evening before and it's sure to be a favorite all summer long at the beach and for patio drinks.  I see myself wearing my skinny yellow belt with it the next time, but for this evening I opted out for my bold, orange, tassel earrings.   Once the evening air cooled I through on my  bomber jacket to keep warm.  The Kate Spade wallet, along with the purse, was my gift to me when we were in Florida and I love it!  It's sold out on their website but I found one on eBay. 


The Old Navy dress is Sold Out online so I am linking up this adorable, baby doll version from Zaful


Happy weekend friends and see you all next week!

Perfect Shower Outfit + TFF Link-Up

I am featuring what I wore to my soon to be niece's baby shower.  The skirt is not new to the blog, see here how I styled  it three different ways.  I always try to invest in pieces that I can see myself wearing for multiple occasions, especially ones that I can style for work and for mom-on-duty.   As mentioned before my mom made this circle skirt for me, but I am linking these two gorgeous options from Chicwish and  Modcloth .   

 



I love how the lace in the top pairs up with the floral pattern to make it extra, extra girly and sweet.  Crop tops are always a bit scary for me as my mid-riff is something I don't expose a lot, unless at the beach, but I  have worn it with high waisted jeans, here and here,  and I think it's totally mom/30+ appropriate.   This top was purchased last year but I would love to order this crochet crop t-shirt from  Romwe .  Friends, what are the Romwe sizes like?  Do you often have to return items?  Do you pay for the shipping charges back?  

 


Now how about this amazing Kate Spade bag that was a gift to me from me while on our trip to Orlando.  I love the vibrant color and how it adds a splash to any outfit. 

Have a great weekend sweet friends and my fellow Canadians, Happy Canada Day!!!
