Dress c/o Banana Republic Canada, Twenty8Twelve leather jacket, Aldo booties,
Club Monaco clutch, watch c/o WatchCo, Persol sunnies c/o SmartBuyGlasses
One thing that is really special about being a blogger (aside from the amazing community, creative outlet and the opportunity to play dress-up whenever you’d like) is that you often have the opportunity to try something, whether it’s an experience or a piece of clothing, that you thought you’d like and end up being pleasantly surprised.
Thanks to the wonderful people at the BR/Gap/Old Navy Canada PR team, I’m happy to learn that this Banana Republic business-apropos dress, which I’d normally have deemed too work-esque for my tastes, actually fits into my wardrobe quite seamlessly. I love the subtle pattern and texture of this winter-ready piece, while the unique warm tones in its grey colour palette completely fit in with all the purples and reds I’ve been loving this season! Definitely a nice little happy surprise to take into the weekend with me.
Speaking of which, this weekend I finally get to catch up with some blogger friends who I haven’t seen in ages! So excited. Any exciting plans for the weekend for yourself?
Happy Friday!!
your combo is awesome, lurv it.

this outfit is perfection!
Killer look! The softs with the leather jacket and the tribal scarf. I love it! I think that belt is my favorite belt of ever and I actually really like those heeled booties.

The dress looks great on you, Alex! Wish I was in town to attend Lynn's gathering too… I'm sure you girls will have tons of fun!

Banana Republic is full of surprises, I've always found – I just really wish they would extend their petite selection, because sadly, your munchkin blogger friend is too little for their regular sizing 😉 You're looking fabulous as always, pally. So good to chat yesterday, looking forward to seeing you via skype again this weekend!

This dress is really perfect with the leather jacket and that scarf. It's always nice when something you hadn't really considered ends up being a go-to, versatile item. You look gorgeous

Wow, this look is amazing! I love your casual, edgy twist on that dress, which could work just as well in a formal office environment. The touch of leopard in your clutch is perfect. Happy weekend!

I think everyone should enjoy and have fun with fashion dressing up everyday pushing and trying something different or just mixing and matching what is already in wardrobe, it's just make life more exciting and fun.
Alexandra your new dress is chic and great staple piece in wardrobe. And it looks on you amazing. Love that you added leopard print clutch bag.

This outfit is fantastic! I love the elements you've styled this dress with – the leopard clutch, leather jacket, bold lip color (which is gorgeous!), the scarf. Everything fits together perfectly.
What lip color are you wearing?
