Repeat Offenders

Denim Vest: Forever21 -old- also styled here
Tank: basic white tank
Skirt: Plato's Closet {similar}
Sandals; Volcom also styled here & here
Bracelet: Forever21 -old-
Necklace: Forever21{similar} also styled here

Everything in this outfit is a repeat offender for me this summer. I literally wear these sandals all the time. They are my quick go to footwear. Super comfy, stylish and easy to pair with most things. Maxi skirts are awesome for summer. Very lightweight and easy to just throw on. And depending how you feel you can easily dress up or down.  

What are some of your summer repeat offenders?

Neon Green & Camel Ft. Cheryl

Jeans: Sirens {similar}
Heels: Gojane -old- {similar style}
Necklace: Stitches Outlet

Happy Victoria Day AKA May Long !! 

I hope everyone is out there enjoying the beautiful weather this weekend. It would have been the perfect weekend for camping, I wish I didn't have to work so we could have planned something. This is it folks, summer is here (for us in the southern part of the province anyways, we tend to skip Spring)

Right now I am totally digging bright neons with complimentary neutral colours. I bought these strappy neon wedges from Gojane nearly 3 or so years ago and I am so happy that I kept them because they are soooo on trend for this season! Isn't it great how fashion is constantly recycling old styles?

Alright everyone, today I have done something a little different. I am featuring my mom in this post because she has recreated my neon pop of colour look in her own way! I thought this was so fun to see how someone else interprets a look with their own style. Check it out! 


Top: Giant Tiger
Jeans: Sears
Wedges: Mia

Plato's Closet Haul

This week we went shopping at Plato's Closet again! This time I sold some of my used clothing to the store ($38 worth) and put it towards our purchases today. You know what they say...One mans trash is another mans treasure. 

Lululemon Skort   reg 58.00  $25.00
The very first item I spotted in store was this awesome athletic skort by Lululemon! First of all, the pattern is so cute and summery my eyes were drawn right in. Upon further examination I was pleased to find it was Lululemon and that it was this super adorable skirt. Then I discovered the built in running shorts. Jackpot! Now I can look super cute while running and not flash the entire world. FYI the ruffles are on the back of the skort.

Under Armour Wind Breaker $20.00
Lightweight athletic jackets or wind breakers have become my new favourite thing, especially with the warmer weather upon us. This is perfect when going to the gym each morning when it's still not quiet warm out but not wanting to wear my winter coat. It looks great with a pair of  athletic leggings and my runners. Not to mention super comfortable and flattering. I couldn't find a reference price on this one because it's probably from last year but I'm guessing it's close to $100 retail.

Billabong Beach Pants reg $48.00 $16.00
These pants are perhaps my favourite find. While browsing through pinterest lately I saw a spring outfit that I just adored and it involved a pair of these palazzo pants. I was thinking where the heck will I find a pair of those? Luckily enough just two days later I stumbled upon these. They actually had a couple pairs to choose from but I liked this pattern best. Tip: since the material is so lightweight and thin, lighter colours/patterns are see through! 

Black Maxi Skirt $8.00
A black maxi skirt is a staple item that I'm honestly surprised I don't already own. I have one that is black & white striped however. I knew going into the store that I wanted one and knew they'd have one in some variety. This style is exactly the one I wanted because its the same style and "build' and - TBH, brand - as my other two maxi's which I love. Not sure on a retail price for this but I'm guessing $12.00 so not much of a steal here but still something I really wanted!

Sheer Neon Blouse $4.00
This blouse was on clearance at Plato's (Clearance on already cheap prices - I know!) I got it for 50% off.  When I saw this I had an outfit idea in mind so you should except to see a style post for it within the next week. It's such a simple cute top. The back has a cut out screen as well, perfect for displaying laced bralettes or caged tops. Neon pops of colour are a huge trend this spring especially when paired with neutrals.


Nike $18.00Adidas Men's Superstar 2 reg $110.00 $20.00 / Under Armour Sandals $6.00
These are 3 pairs of shoes that Anthony purchased for himself.  He will soon have a larger shoe collection than me! He got some amazing deals on these items. I don't have reference prices for the Nike's or UA but the Adidas were like 90% off. Need I say more?!

See My Vest

Long Sleeve: Forever21
Leather Vest: Platos Closet (UK2LA)
Jeans: Bluenotes -old-
Suede Booties: Forever21

It's wing night at the Fireside Grill back home so myself and a friend went out for wings and beer to catch up!  My vest is from the store Plato's Closet. I have talked about this store in a previous post. It's a second hand store for current on trend items and brands. You can get some amazing deals up to 75% off of things you would see in the mall right now!  They will even buy your trendy clothes from you when you feel like doing a closet purge. There are a few locations scattered across ontario. If you have one in your town you should check it out.  Go to their website to see. Each store also has their own Instagram page where they post some new popular items coming in. I am obsessed with shopping here.
