2015 spring fashion

Springtime Oldies

April showers, bring May flowers…. or so they say.

You know what that means? Closet purge and spring cleaning!!! And just look what I found in the back of mine:

Kinda thrilled this dress I picked up a few summers ago from GAP in LA (size XXL) still fits!! What’s more exciting is that 2015’s springtime trend of sheer fabrics!

Seems like sheer fabrics are never going away and thank goodness for that! Not only do they jazz up tops and dresses but they make us feel like we’re wearing nothing at all. Keeping it light and airy…it’s a lovely feeling. 😉

Something NEW … picked these babies up for only $3.99!

In an effort to keep it springtime cute, yet weather appropriate (yes, it’s still pretty chilly in Toronto friends) I paired this cutie-pie green & yellow frock with a simple beige v-neck cropped cardi from Old Navy. And stepped up the dazzle with these new dangly earrings from Forever21, keeping the footwear simple and warm with my suede booties from Reitmans.

But I felt something was missing. So I tried a belt.

Picked up this gold metallic belt at the store closing sale of Fashion Crimes, on WQW. This might have been the first time I’m actually wearing it, come to thing of it. The thick belt and skinny chain in the back did add a bit of pizzaz to this outfit, I think.But then I finally unpacked my travel luggage from my Asian Adventure, and found this tried and true brown leather belt, and then I was torn.

Which look to YOU prefer best: 1. Leather Belt 2. No Belt OR 3. Metallic Gold Belt? Let me know in the comments section below.

Florals & Stripes

SPRING IS FINALLY HERE…with weather that matches. Finally!!!!

Now I know florals for spring isn’t a new concept or new fashion trend this year or any other year. 🙂

So, I tried doing the floral trend by mixing it up:

I’ve been trying my hand at mixing patterns more. Taking this floral dress and pairing it with a striped black and white cropped blazer really amped up this look, right?! I’m really digging the contrast.

In an effort to keep this outfit ‘work-wear’, I wore dark stockings along with my black suede booties. This was the outfit I wore to the office for my first day back from my big Asian Adventure (I’m working on those posts friends…stay tuned).

Both these pieces were thrifted finds as last year’s BIGDeal Toronto Sale (and the first time I’m wearing this dress ever). I’m not the biggest fan of floral patterns — but I really liked these colours on this white background of this dress.

Plus, being a peplum skirt it creates hourglass-come-hither style hitting the curves in all the right places …. that always gets a BIG thumbs up from moi!
