Against the plain – Pt. 2

I’d like to start by saying happy Friday! I hope you all have a  wonderful weekend.
This look is all about the skirt. I’ve been wanting a button-up jean skirt for a while now and the ones at American apparel just didn’t seem to fit right. As I was waltzing through the mall after a long day of class, Zara’s sale caught my attention and I simply had to sneak a peak. Low and behold they had a denim skirt… and the best part.. it was on sale for 15$! If that’s not a bargain I don’t know what is.
To really let the skirt be the statement I went for opaque tights and a black turtle neck.

shoes: aldo
skirt: zara

It’s cold outside

Although our winter was quite delayed, the Canadian weather has hit us full force in January. It’s not easy to portray your style and look nice while still keeping warm. I, for one, choose comfort and warmth over fashion during the cold winter months. However I got the chance to style and “model” a look for a fantastic local boutique and I love how it turned out. On top of that…I was quite toasty! I would probably throw on a chunky knit scarf and layers under the jacket for added warmth if I was wearing this for a longer period of time though. All black is a go-to for anyone, furthermore mixing textures adds fun and interest.

Shout outs to my dear friend Sonya who shot this look.

Against the plain – Pt. 1

Hello….

…it’s me…Emily! It’s 2016, and although I don’t believe in new year’s resolutions; as I’m a firm advocate for people to change whenever it’s needed… I figured I’d make a change in this new year and finally start my very own blog. I use the word style instead of fashion because it seems more laid back, plus I will admit that I don’t follow the latest trends and looks on the runways. My style varies through my mood, my surroundings, and my experiences. I do not force myself to follow one look because to me, that’s too boring. Life changes and molds you, so why not have your clothing do the same. Goodbye minimalism, hello fun and freedom!
For my first look I figured I’d do a very typical “Emily” easy look.
A band tshirt, some jeans, and a faux-leather jacket is something I’d throw on any day and feel comfortable and confident.

shoes: camper
jeans: thrifted
shirt: Elton john concert
jacket: zara
