While not a lot of exam-revision happened yesterday, a lot of lovely friend time did. I knew I would be trekking around the city all afternoon & evening so not surprisingly I tried on about 10 outfits before I struck on the right one. Pretty clothing aside, the item I spent most of my time wearing is an oversized men's tee of some sort, for lounging at home. Pretty much 99% of my blog posts have been brought to you while wearing one. So I thought why not style one to wear out?
I ended up pairing a forest green soft wash men's t-shirt from Banana Republic with my well-worn (& eternally wrinkled) salmon-coloured high-waisted Zara trousers. Pop on a statement necklace, some classic sunnies, & a pair of platforms... good to go. Thankfully my Michael Kors Hamilton tote coordinated well because it's one of my few bags large enough to fit my camera & other city-trekking essentials. Really must add a new one to the (never-ending) wish list.

In the afternoon I met up with Kris (of Back Alleys & Boulevards) for a little vegan lunch + shopping. It was my first time at Karmavore & I absolutely loved it! Later we roamed the beach & Seawall soaking up some sun. We were stopped by Ben of VanStreet who snapped us for his street style blog (I look totally awkward, but because I

That necklace is so beautiful! <3
ReplyDeleteI am highly impressed at the fact that you styled an article of clothing that you religiously lounge in. I would have never thought to do that...mainly because my lounge clothes are hideous! But you've certainly made your men's shirt look flashy and awesome! Bravo, miracle worker! ;)) hehe
ReplyDeleteI love the way your JC's match your handbag. And those coral pants are a favorite of mine. They look uber comfortable. Aaaand your friend is wearing a pair of dusty pink skinnies that I am now coveting.
Good luck with your exam!
Those trousers are so so so so cute. I want them!! I love the color and fit and everything. I'm inspired!
