Shoppalu pieces: Zen B. Spira dress (on sale for $148 at STYLE/STALK, down from $185)

Holaaa! Hope everyone had an amazing weekend – mine consisted of the laziest day ever on Saturday, followed by a day trip to Niagara Falls yesterday.Was a good balance of both, and seriously if you’ve never visited the falls, you should go! They’re incredible, and you’ll be especially awe-struck if you board the Maid of the Mist to get right up close to them from underneath.
This Zen B. Spira dress from Shoppalu (on sale at STYLE/STALK this week!) was my absolute favourite piece out of the lookbook I did with them. It’s got such a cool silhouette and I never have any neutrals in my closet, so it was really refreshing to play around with this tone. I kept it minimal on the colour front, just throwing in my woven mint clutch for a discrete colour pop.
The beige tone of the dress was absolutely perfect for my rose gold accessories from my Poshlocket lookbook, though – I’ve worn the Dena necklace a gazillion times already, and how perfect are the cone earrings in all their femme-meets-edgy glory?
In other news, I’m leaving TO in a week and a half…can’t believe it. I’m still trying to find work because I’d love to come back right away in September, but worst case scenario I figure something out in Van or save up a bit for a month or so and come back…juuuust in time for the terrifyingly cold (for me) Toronto winters. Can’t believe this whole experience is so close to wrapping up though.
Happy Monday everyone 🙂

    You know I love my neutrals, pally, so I definitely have a soft spot for this dress. I love the way you really played with the subdued colours, pairing nude shoes and delicate rosey gold accessories – although I notice you just couldn't resist a pop of colour, but that's what makes this look so very you 🙂 I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your dream job in TO comes your way, but I have to admit that I will be very excited if I get to see you before I go 🙂 Miss you!
    xox,

    You look amazing! Love the juxtaposition of the flowy dress and the metal necklace.
    Good luck with your search – I'm sure you won't be looking for very long!

    You're coming back to Vancouver?! I can't believe your internship has already come to an end. I do hope you'll find that job in Toronto so that you can return. As for the outfit, it's a nice change to see you in neutrals. You look gorgeous in the dress and the rose gold is the perfect accessory colour.
