Highs and Lows

July 5, 2013

GOOOOD MORNING VIETNAM HALIFAX! As per yesterdays post when I tested my rain/sun theory that indeed turned out fact (no thanks to the weather network) I am completely happy with the sunshine that is sure to fill our weekend! And it came just in time as I have another day trip to Mahone Bay and the beach planned today as well as a surprise trip/getaway for my boyfriend for his birthday (he will read this, so I have to be covert). I hope you all have as much fun this weekend as I intend to have and that you all put on your sunscreen, it’s going to be a scorcher!

Rainy Day People

July 4, 2013

rainydaypeople4Since the weather in Halifax has been overcome with rain the last trillion days, I decided not to let it hinder my spirits any longer and got dressed up in a vintage sequins tunic, threw on my rain-boots and grabbed my trusty umbrella and headed out the door. Jumping around in puddles in a fancy outfit helped with the glum feeling that this weather tends to bring and I can now look forward to a sun filled remainder of the week (fingers crossed)!

This coral coloured dress is perfect for summer. It’s thin and breezy, but long enough so that it can be worn at multiple occasions.  I used the dress as it was intended (as a dress) but took off the belt that it comes with and added this bright blue belt to break up the coral and add definition to my waist. Adding a bright yellow necklace makes the look come together and adds some texture along with the snake print tote and wedges for good measure.

For the work look I loosely tucked the dress into a pair of beige cropped pants that I slightly rolled at the ankle. I added the blue belt again for a contrasting pop of colour and added a long, simple necklace. The wedges, tote bag and sunglasses were all still used as they are practical enough to take from the office to dinnerjoefresh4This dress is such a great purchase because it’s so versatile  Shown again here wearing it tied up with a pair of loose pants. But it could also easily be worn fully unbuttoned over a swimsuit. This look is great for walking along a boardwalk or lunch by the beach. I switched up the heels for these great nude sandals and added an adorable fedora (found at Joe Fresh Kids), giving the look a more casual, easy feeling.
