Snakeskin Moment

Is animal print the new basic? I think so!  I cannot get enough of snakeskin or leopard print items, it's honestly safe to say I am obsessed with them. The snakeskin print goes well with every colour, it can be dressed up or down, and has a place in every wardrobe. I love pairing one printed item with all black or neutrals colours, I feel like it really makes the print pop!  This bodysuit is from Guess (it's no longer on their site so I can't link it), pants are from Dynamite and my booties are from my fave JustFab. 

90's Sweater Chic

Could I BE anymore comfortable? Meet my fave 90's menswear inspire sweater, I call it the Chandler Bing sweater.  This navy pullover is super comfortable and oversized, but the cropped bottom helps give it a more feminine feel. ⁣This is one of my go-to outfits when I need to be comfortable, but I want to look a bit put together.  ⁣ Does anyone else love menswear inspired fashion? I just adore it, especially if it’s a little bit retro. ⁣

Body Positivity Chat

A little note on body positivity... ⁣ ⁣ I've struggled for the past 10 years to accept my body for the way it is, and this makes taking outfit pictures incredibly difficult for me. The day I took this picture I was taking outfit photos for the week, using my self timer... and when I went to look at the photos every time I prepared myself for them to look “ugly”. ⁣ ⁣ I thought I would look too fat, too pale, to this or too that. And naturally when I first look at the photos I hated them all for one reason or another. ⁣ ⁣ And then I took a step back. ⁣ ⁣ If I was expecting a negative result, of course I’d have a negative reaction to absolutely every photo. ⁣ ⁣ So I had to actively work on my mindset for the rest of the day, and while it’s a difficult exercise at first it’s really important. Appreciating yourself is necessary, putting yourself down is not. ⁣ ⁣ So here’s one of the photos that was too this or that. ⁣ ⁣ I love it. ⁣

A Little Bit Country

If you know me, you know how much I love country anything. Country music, country decor and country style outfits just make my heart sing. While my daily footwear has long been an updated take on the cowboy boot, I've been introducing more country chic dresses into my wardrobe. This crochet trim dress from Just Fab is one of my latest purchases. The crochet trim detail around the waist creates a super flattering shape, and bring such a nice feminine touch. The clay pot colour enhances my skin tone both when I am tan and pale – which is a huge win in my book! I know many people are not fans of orange, but I am a fan!  Links (These are not affiliate links):  Dress: Click here Boots: Click here
