I wore this out to lunch over the weekend. I love a cropped sweater on my slightly shorter frame. And these shiny black leggings are one of the most versatile pieces of clothing I own.

Remember: Not every outfit you wear needs to be complicated.

Sweater – H&M
Leggings – Dynamite

Keeping It Comfy

When the weekend comes, I get lazy – as in I only want to wear leggings and comfy tops. Here I paired high-waisted TNA leggings with a men’s t-shirt from H&M and an oversized boyfriend plaid shirt (also from TNA) over top. I’m also wearing my royal blue circle necklace from American Apparel.

Black / Grey / White

If you know me in real life, you know my favourite colours are black, grey, and white. Here I paired an Aztec sweater from Sirens ($30) with a black flowy tank from Dynamite ($15). On the bottom I have on my shiny leggings from Garage ($20) and Dalmatian print slipper-flats from H&M ($18). And of course, how could I forget my everyday staple – my Marc by Marc Jacobs grey purse.

I often struggle deciding what to wear to work, especially during the months when it’s cool in the mornings and hot when I leave the office. Here I’ve paired my American Eagle denim jacket and black jeggings with an inexpensive chevron tank from H&M. I felt like this outfit was pretty casual until I added my Nine West pumps and ALDO sunglasses (which were a steal at $2.36).

Festival season is here! So that means high waisted shorts, crop tops and flower headbands. I can’t wait to attend Escapade music festival wearing all my favourite pieces of the summer.

These high waisted shorts are from minkpink and they are actually super comfy! I paired it with a crochet top from Brandy Melville. Its the perfect look to give off that boho vibe.

This year I’m heading to Digital Dreams in downtown Toronto – the same weekend as Escapade!

The shorts I chose show off a lot of leg, so I decided to pair it with this longer floral crop. The crop top I’m wearing is from Garage, the white high-waisted shorts are Talula (from Aritizia), and my periwinkle shoes are from H&M. I also made sure to pack my five-dollar sunglasses I bought last summer from Dynamite.
