This weekend went by rapidly for me, and the previous week
was all of two things: lively and very productive. After a quick work meeting, I dashed out to meet
up with a friend for a late dinner, which was perfect because she had an
extended flight delay. Then, I uncovered a visa gift card in my leather jacket
mini-pocket … and it still works! Later on, I then tackled two personal
projects and acquired new trims for a
future crafting session as well.
Somehow, with all of the busyness and shifting of scheduling,
I also managed to get one day of rest through it all … well, almost!
There are many fashion elements that I adore in my ensembles,
and as you already know, aside from lace, embellishments are one of my
favourites to put into play! Whether it be accessories or garment trimmings, my
fashion eyes call forth visual whispers, beckoning me to respond stylishly. Afterward,
I react with artful expressions in my donned threads.
The outfit of the day was simple: I pulled out my grey jersey
skirt
that I made and paired it with my corduroy jacket, which was actually ideal for
the necklace that I received from Vancouver-based
online jewellery boutique Olive & Piper. The item came in second to my initial selection, but it ended up being a first-rate fit for this outfit!
A sleek, yet comfortable feeling was exactly what I wanted. This
look could also easily become versatile into transitional seasons, given the nearly
glam-nautical vibe to the necklace, and the lightness of the jersey–all workable
elements throughout the year in my opinion.
This was my absolute solution to take on giving gentle colours,
like grey and charcoal a polished and pleasing effect with a mauve overcoat.
And, to think all of these pieces alone might be considered purely casual.
However, with hints of golden and silver sparkles on the neck, accompanied by onyx
and silver on the waist, it’s a multifaceted pairing that I love at the moment!

I haven't done hues and sparkle but I like the way you do it. Great h&m jacket–the color and the lapel are fab. And it's always nice to find money/Visa gift cards in your pocket.
