It’s Saturday evening, and instead of going out, or spending time with my S-O, I’m sitting here in bed, catching up on an endless list of school work I have to do for this week.
BORRING. I know right?
So I thought I’d take a little break from school work to post a very casual and simple OOTD, something I’d wear to school, or if I wanted to be comfy.
I hold this Calvin Klein tshirt dearly to my heart since it’s the coolest item I’ve ever found at a thrift store. CK items are quite pricey, and I found this bad boy at value village a year ago for 3$ (instead of 55$ online). It was a bargain  I couldn’t pass up.
I don’t usually opt for converse, but I thought they complemented the casual look and I liked how a low, slim sneaker looked with my jeans cuffed up.

That’s it for me, I wish good luck to all my fellow people struggling through the last months of school before summer. We’re almost there!!

shoes: converse
jeans: topshop

A shoot with YOWcitystyle

Last Friday I had the pleasure to meet with a lovely blogger who goes by the name of “YOWcitystyle”. The idea behind the blog/Instagram is to show off the street style of Ottawa while promoting local areas.

I decided to shout out the tea party cafe in the market because the atmosphere is cozy and calm and they have a great variety of tea and vegetarian snacks. I do my best work for school when I’m there.

For my outfit I wanted to do something a little out of my comfort zone with the long lines and baggy layers.

Shoes: aldo (as always)
Pants and jacket: Zara
Necklace and shirt: oak and Fort

Jeepers Creepers! It’s #throwbackthursday today, so I thought it would be fun to put together a very 90s look. From the creepers, to the choker, to the daisy flowers, this outfit screams 90s and I’m into it. Being a 90s baby, I find myself often reminiscing and feeling nostalgic about almost everything in my childhood, from the polly pockets,  the spice girls, the twisty rhinestones to bedazzle your hair, to the ever so popular furbies. You name it, I was probably into it.
I added tight skinny jeans and a white blouse to give the look a  bit of modernity.

Let me know what your favourite throwback memory is.

shoes and choker: ebay
