Classic

Posted on March 31, 2014 by dazzlebyday

Shirt: Calvin Klein, love these styles – one, two, three, Sunglasses: Zumiez, Necklace: Lesa Michelle via T.J.Maxx, similar styles here and here, Earrings: Dyadema via T.J.Maxx, Jeans: Express (similar), Shoes: Keds (Taylor Swift collection), Clutch: French Connection, Watch: Michael Kors (similar styles)

A classic white button-down is definitely a staple in my wardrobe. It looks chic styled with jeans and keds for a casual weekend look, or paired with a pencil skirt and heels for the office. You can’t go wrong with such a versatile piece of clothing. I’ve listed a few of my favorite options above.

How adorable are these Keds from the Taylor Swift collection? I absolutely love them, and I know that I’ll be wearing them multiple times this Spring/Summer. Keds are quickly becoming my favorite sneaker, they are comfortable, classic, and cute – triple threat.

Winter Relapse

Shirt: Calvin Klein, similar here and here, Skirt: Urban Behaviour, Necklace: T.J.Maxx, similar at JCPenney, Boots: via Ross Dress for Less, Handbag: Coach, Coat: Jessica Simpson, similar style here

Just when I thought I could finally pack up my winter coats and pull out my spring jackets, Mother Nature turned on me . . . again. Although, I really can’t complain considering my Canadian family and friends have been slammed with a horrendous never-ending winter this year. I feel for you guys 😉

The weather yesterday did, however, give me an excuse to wear these gorgeous colorblock boots from Ross. The crystal collar and boots give this business look the perfect amount of dazzle for the work week. It adds style without being over-the-top for the office. You may want to add tights depending on your weather. I probably should have, considering it started to snow just as I finished taking photos (as you can probably tell in my last pic). Hopefully, that photo will be my very last with snow for a while!

Casual Cool

Sweater: Heather B via Marshalls, similar style at Kohl’s, Collared Shirt: American Eagle Outfitters, T-Shirt: Lucky Brand, Necklace: Giani Bernini via Macy’s, Boots: Jessica Simpson, Jeans: Express (similar), Handbag: Fossil, love this alternative, Watch: Michael Kors (similar), Rings: Vintage, Bracelet: Kate Spade New York

Starting off the week with a casual cool look that is both stylish and practical. The weather has been all over the place lately, but this outfit felt perfect during the day and once it cooled down, the cardigan added just the right amount of warmth.

The Fossil bag shown in this look has been one of my favorites for years, but I have to say I am loving their new Sydney Satchel, it’s gorgeous! I find that Fossil has such great quality leather handbags without over-the-top prices. Can’t wait to see the upcoming collections!

Drop-Waist Darling

Dress: H&M, similar styles – one, two, three, Necklace: Vintage, similar here, Shoes: Keds x Kate Spade (sold out), similar style here, Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target, Sunglasses: Betsey Johnson via T.J.Maxx, similar at Forever 21, Watch: Michael Kors

Looking for the perfect outfit for exploring the city in the warmer months to come? Try styling a black drop-waist dress and glitter kicks for a casual look with a playful flare. Black dresses are always chic. Style it with your heels for work and quickly swap them for your Keds before running a few errands or meeting friends in the city!

Working Denim

Posted on March 10, 2014 by dazzlebyday

Shirt: Gap, similar options – one, two, and three, Necklace: Leslie Danzis via T.J.Maxx, Pants: Dynamite, Heels: Guess, similar – splurge, save, Handbag: Michael Kors, Sunglasses: Franco Sarto via T.J.Maxx, Coat: Apartment 9 via Kohl’s, similar at H&M

At my work place, we can only wear jeans on casual Friday, so naturally I found another way to incorporate denim. Denim button-ups are so easy to transition from winter to summer. It was still pretty chilly when I chose this look, but I’ll definitely be styling my denim shirt with shorts and skirts in the months to come. I’ve linked a few denim options above that I’m currently loving…

Bright Beauty

Blouse: New Directions via Belk, Pants: Banana Republic, Boots: Jessica Simpson via Dillard’s, similar here, Coat: Lands’ End, Handbag: Vera Pelle, Watch: Michael Kors (similar), Earrings: T.J.Maxx, similar at J.Crew

When the weather is gloomy, it’s hard to feel motivated throughout the week. That’s where the power of brights comes in! I find that throwing on a bright blouse, jacket, or accessory, can completely turn your day around. Hot pink and orange automatically make me think of Spring and Summer, and let’s face it, we all love those few months out of the year. Sunshine, patios, picnics, barbecues, and pool time — need I say more? Fortunately, Spring is just around the corner, but until then I’ll have to settle for bright layers!
