Blustery Days and Sweater Vests

Sometimes you are really want to get to work and take your outfit photos and the day just isn't cooperating.  Here in Saskatchewan we often have high winds so I decided to just venture outdoors regardless of the weather and make the best of it.  We were going downtown to do a little bit of shopping so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to wear my new sweater vest and button down.  The sweater vest trend is going strong and I knew I was going to jump on it when both of my girls bought theirs in the spring.  I was like, heck yes, I missed jumping on this train when they were around back in the 90s and I am not missing out again.  So I looked to add the perfect one for the fall and found this one at the Bay and jumped on it, its sold out currently but I'll link a few similar option below.  The next item I really wanted to add to my work wardrobe this year was a button down shirt.  I haven't actually had one for years but I desperately wanted a longer one, that was loose fitting but also lightweight so that I could opt to tuck it in or leave it out.  Another things I really wanted was for the sleeves to be easy to roll up, and that it was relatively lightweight without being see through.  Check, check, check, I found everything in this one and I know it'll get a ton of wear!  I love how this outfit came together, especially with the leather pants, red lips and little booties.  Can I just say that I really miss being able to wear lipstick so that people can actually see it. Sigh.  I know it's a small thing but I miss knowing people will actually see my make-up, just saying.  

Okay, your turn, what are some of your must buys for fall/winter?

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.
