Stylin' Look: Lady Lumberjack

So today really felt like fall. It's labour day, the kiddies are getting ready to go back to school, and I had fleeting thoughts of pumpkin carving and thanksgiving dinner. What a great day then to wear some buffalo check menswear and bright red tights!



I also recently made this cute black rose headband that couldn't have been a better match for this look - the weightiness of the feminine flowers mixed with the rugged shirt is really what makes it work.



And don't forget to always add that splash of colour! The red tights really work here with the neutral brown shoe.



You may remember this shirt from the Stylin' Video "RAIDING YOUR PARTNER'S CLOSET". It works well here tied at the waist, paired with a pencil skirt, don't you think?

More fall looks to come! Get ready for some major layers, boots, scarves, and of course some elaborate headwear!

Stylin' Look: Downtown Nautical

Who says you have to be on a boat to wear deck shoes! My new favorite accessory for summer (and will be for fall) are these little numbers. I am also in love with my new chambray bow-tie blouse! And of course we need the braided navy belt to tie it all together.

Sadly there was a bit of rain this day, but it didn't stop us from having some fun!
A matching umbrella was all the look needed to keep looking chic even in the storm....it really is the little details that make all the difference!

Stylin' Look: 1 Shirt, 3 Ways

I recently discovered the website Chictopia thanks to my wonderful sister over at Rare Treasure. Essentially it is where people can share their stylish looks and everyone gets inspired. I am new to the whole process, but I have a few photos up that perhaps you'd like to check out?

I hope to update My Chictopia and my blog regularly with these looks so you can get an idea of what I wear everyday and get inspired too!

For this look, I took one of my new tops for fall and mixed it 3 different days - work, weekend, evening.

Work: The shoes make it slightly nautical, but I didn’t want to go over the top with that theme so I kept everything else really basic. My only accessory here is my white waist-belt (gotta love those figure flattering belts!). I think keeping things simple sometimes makes the most impact!

Weekend: I wanted to go casual chic so I mixed up the colors and textures. You may not think you can do brown, black, and blue all in one outfit but I think it worked out lovely. Making sure there is a piece that combines all the colors (in this case the printed scarf) really helps.

Evening: I wanted to dress it up and take it into evening. I tucked it into a short gathered skirt, added some heels, and topped it off with a cute red hairpiece. Also, I love when red lipstick becomes an accessory!

So I hope you like those ideas and there will be more to come soon!
