Forever 21 dress, H&M sweater & booties,
So speaking of jewel tones, I’ve been using any excuse to brighten up my fall neutrals with pops of opulent sapphire, emerald, ruby and amethyst these days, which is definitely a change from last fall when I was obsessed with tonal, neutral colour palettes (see Exhibit 1 and 2 for examples). Anyway, I had a long day planned for Thursday, one that would start at 7:30 a.m. and go on until 9:30 p.m., so I decided the best plan of action would be to wear something super comfy (booties and a cozy sweater) but to pair it with a high-impact colour (royal blue) to get as much mileage as possible out of the look without dying of discomfort.
The outfit definitely didn’t owe me any favours by the end of the day: from a morning coffee session to a meeting to a lunch date to a Bel Café meet-up with the lovely Jen and Alicia (exhale…inhale) to the media preview of Little Burgundy’s new collections, this laid-back look definitely made the rounds. And Jen took these pics for me – quite a talented photographer n’est-ce pas?
Happy weekend everyone!
that brown and blue look perfect together!!

Some of my favourite day long outfits involve wearing a favorite dress with a chunky knit layered on the top. The combination of neutral and electric blue here is both relaxed and eye-catching. Photos are gorgeous too x

Adorable! I wish I could pull off booties with a short dress but my legs are so horribly white ALL year long, it looks weird on me. And I recently had a Jersey Shore faux pas with a spray tan, so…white my stems shall stay. 😉
Love the colour palette of this outfit, such a cute outfit, love it so much.

Jewel tones always look so beautiful on you. I'm really happy you're featuring more outfits with colour instead of the neutral palate that so many bloggers are doing right now.
PS — Jen is soo talented w/ photography. These photos look pro!
