Silver Linings

Necklaces & turquoise bracelet c/o KV BIJOU, silver arrow bracelet c/o Poshlocket,
Birks bracelet, H&M sweater & tank, Michael Kors heels, jeans c/o Fidelity Denim, bag c/o Mary Nichols
  A comfy casual look for a dinner out: my favourite chunky men’s knit (like literally an XL out of the H&M men’s department), comfortable but chic pumps, a simple tank and my new favourite jeans, aka these brand-new Ace skinnies from Fidelity Denim. I always get a bit nervous about getting deim that I haven’t had a chance to try on beforehand since my hourglass proportions can make for a weird fit at times (gaping at the waist while stretching far too tightly across my butt), but the second I slipped these skinnies on they were perfection. Aside from the fit, the denim itself is absolutely amazing quality too – thick, stretchy and so comfy. Can’t wait to wear these on repeat now that the temperature has dropped!

I also layered on a couple new pieces from KV BIJOU, including the Arie turquoise bracelet (which I worked into a little silver arm party) and the Teardrop necklace in turquoise, which I layered over my Grace necklace. I’m such a huge fan of Kelsey’s femme and wearable designs, and what’s more, she’s really a pretty inspiring local success story: you can spot the beautiful pieces that she makes in her studio in Abbotsford, B.C. on everyone from the starlets of Pretty Little Liars to models like Sessilee Lopez, and the demand for her pieces is really only growing. Go homegrown talent!

Thanks so much for the great feedback to my Q’s in yesterday’s post. I’m happy to say that thanks in huge part to your encouragement, I’ll be looking into doing some videos soon! I want to make sure I have the right software and familiarize myself with filming again first (thanks to Effie, my amazing broadcast instructor in j-school last year, for giving me most of my skills already), but hopefully soon enough it can be a weekly feature! Have a great Thursday friends.

    Ooh the chunky knits are coming back out! That reminds me that I should really start looking before the temperature drops and I get desperate. You look exactly how you wanted: comfortable, cozy, yet stylish. Love the touches of turquoise in the accessories.

    sensationally awesome! Alex, wow i'm inspired!! chunky knits really do the trick and when they're paired with a more casual type of look then all the better. 100% adored! love that the cardy comes from the men's dept too, brilliant is what.

    your turquoise/silver accents take the fashion cake love. xo ♥

    Aw pally, you know how envious I am of your ability to buy sweaters from the H&M mens department, and this white one is an absolute dream! I am officially living vicariously through you 🙂 The Fidelity skinnies are the perfect pairing, and they really do fit you like a glove. Missing you, my beautiful friend!
