Blue




Dress ASOS curve | Scarf H&M | Necklace Thrift | Shoes BFT | Bag eBay


Day 5 of the extreme heat wave we're having in Toronto, and I'm so over humidity, and I'm ready to move to the north pole!

I always lean towards the preppy end of my wardrobe during the hot months, mainly because the fabrics are light, the hemlines are short and doesn't require a lot of effort to look flirty & adorable lol. Now, I usually really hate empire waist dresses because they are expected to be worn by fat girls to accentuate the waist, blah blah blah, but I took a chance and ordered this cobalt blue swing dress from ASOS. I don't love it, but I'm giving the silhouette a try.

I also came across a photo (probably on tumblr> of a woman wearing her Hermes scarf as a necklace and I just had to give it a try... I kind of love it, I will defiantly be trying this with all of my scarfs.
