Repeats


As of late...I CANNOT stay away from this striped tee...what makes it worse is that I have 2 of them.  It's just so comfy, and perfect for slim or super short bottoms!







My outfit of constant repeats...
  • Oversized striped tee - American Apparel
  • Black denim shorts - Forever21
  • Blue twist scarf - Street shopping in S. Korea ($1CAD)
  • Oversized red bag - Zara
(And if you haven't noticed...I can't stay away from this blue twist scarf or red bag either!)

It has been getting OH-SO-HOT as of late, and I'm more than happy about the transition from pants to shorts & skirts!  Until recently, I used to really hate shorts.  I would stay away from them--FAR, FAR AWAY!  I have, for many years and for as long as I can remember, really disliked the way that my body looked.  Oddly enough, summer has always been my favourite season though.  I can remember in years past where I would go the entire summer in long sleeves!  As cliche as this may sound to some of you, ever since my (seriously) wonderful boyfriend happened, I've had so much more confidence in myself.  I now love shorts!  (I can't say I'm completely comfortable in sleeveless tops yet though--working on it!).  Thank you Ryan for always telling me that my legs look perfect and not at all short, stumpy and gross--haha.  Embrace your beautiful bodies people!


I am pretty grateful that I am able to wear shorts to work, as I know a lot of professional work places don't allow anything much higher than just-above-the-knee.  To avoid looking completely tawdry though, I always make sure I pair my shorts with a looser/heavier top and a bigger bag to balance it all out.

Anyway, sorry for the boring ol' repeats in my outfits!  But you've gotta love that comfortable feeling of being in those pieces that you love most!  What're some of your favourite pieces right now??  Or what are some of your favourite things that are trending right now?

Hope you're all enjoying the heat!
