Most of my stuff is either thrifted or super old, so everything linked will be a dupe! Each item in the list is a link, so if you click the name of what you wanna find, it’ll take you to something similar (mostly on Amazon). Thanks for watching! 🙂

Spring everywhere else seems to be different from spring in Canada. Here, we’re still getting snow, and it’s still too cold for any (normal) people to leave the house without a coat. However, it doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun with our wardrobe just the same. Here are a few spring trends of this year that you most likely already have in your closet.
And when I say head-to-toe, I mean head-to-toe. I’m talking about the shirt, the purse, the bottoms and the shoes. If you have denim, now is the time to get the most out of it. If you don’t have the accessories, a nice pair of relaxed/oversized denim jeans in a mid-to-light wash will do. This trend, while a staple, always comes in different shapes and shades every season, so pick the ones you love and wear them out.
Now, this is one of my top 3 favourite colours. I love a bright pop of red in an outfit. To incorporate it easily and affordably, you could simply do as I did and paint your nails red. If you’re looking for more pops, H&M has a vast selection of basic red tops, or you could do a red lip, red sandal or even a red scarf. This trend, hopefully, will last into the summer.
This trend, while cute, can be very risque. For the most part, I only style this one on the beach because it feels a little exposing. But a sheer flowy, long-sleeve over a tank top is a cute, modest way to include this in everyday wear.
“Florals. For spring. Groundbreaking.” Every person remotely into fashion knows that The Devil Wears Parad ruined florals in spring. LOL. Miranda wrecked my self-confidence, but I’m happy this sweet pattern is back in style. Large motifs and roses seem the way to go this season. I’m not a big fan of florals, but if your style is more classic and feminine, this trend is sure to suit you.
This trend is the oddest of all to me. Maxi denim skirts are in! Especially in mid-to-dark tones. While I don’t own a denim maxi skirt, I have no doubt I could find one in the thrift store, and that’s the only way I’m purchasing one. I think styling it with a plain white t-shirt, a body suit, or anything fitted on top is the way to go. You have to balance the fullness on the bottom with form-fitting on top. Also, I would suggest wearing it with open-toed shoes, especially if you’re short like me. That would make it look less overwhelming on your frame and gives it a more casual feel. For a more elevated look, just wear heeled sandals instead.

Hello, Hi!
As you know from my About this Space page, I recently got my heart broken. And with heartbreak, some people cave into themselves (which I definitely did) and some people flourish (which I think I’m in the process of doing).
As a part of my entering my flourish era, I decided to re-do my entire wardrobe. Usually, I am a super colourful and loud person with my wardrobe. It’s probably a subconscious way to make up for the fact that I am an introvert and I refuse to start conversations with other people, so I used my clothing to get them to come to me. However, I found myself getting stuck when I looked in my wardrobe. I hadn’t really gotten dressed in months. And every time I did get dressed, it was the same pair of pants and the same hoodie. Literally.
So, I gave myself a challenge: get rid of all the colourful stuff you know you’re not wearing and stick to the basics. Maybe this will help you get dressed more often. Maybe it will help to get the creative juices flowing and give you a little more confidence.
Fashion was usually a fail-safe way for me to feel better about myself. And since I’m low in the confidence department, a reset was exactly what I needed.
Here are the items that I’ve found myself reaching for the past 2 weeks that I’ve decided to get dressed. I kept the list of stores small just so I wouldn’t overwhelm you. But really, you could get these from anywhere. Some of mine, I even got from the thrift store.
1. Oversized white T-Shirt
2. Dark Washed Skinny Jeans
3. Light Washed Mom Jeans
4. Oversized Zip-Up Hoodie
5. White Sneakers
6. Denim Jacket
7. Button Down
8. Trench Coat
