OOTD 3 Take - What I Would Wear to a Wedding

Hey Guys!

I've gotten together with the lovely ladies Rikke from Sticky Sweet Danish and Jessica from Too Many Sequins to do a 3 take on what we would all wear to weddings! This is what I chose. I decided to do three different outfits, since fashions for weddings can vary immensely, some being highly formal, black tie, affairs, and others being more casual. What you wear should depend on how formal the wedding will be. If the invitation suggests black tie or insists that jacket and tie are worn, you can be fairly sure that that's a very formal wedding, whereas if you're going to an outdoor wedding, you can probably assume the dress will be a little bit more casual. Either way, you'll want to look beautiful and I hope that some of these outfits will inspire you as wedding season begins and you go out to shop for your own dresses!

Outfit 1 - Casual

Dress - Ricki's/Shoes - Winners/Jewellery and Purse - Ardene

Outfit 2 - In-between (this type of outfit is a good idea if you're not sure whether it's a more formal or casual affair)

Dress - Marshalls (US)/Bolero - Forever 21+/Clutch - Express (US)/Jewellery - Ardene/Shoes - Penney's (Ireland)

Outfit 3 - Formal/Black Tie

Dress - ASOS Curve/Earrings - Panache/Shoes - Spring/Clutch - Express

My Hair

I put a bump-it in my hair to make it sort of big on top, wore it half-up, half-down, and put a  gold headband on to emphasize the height that the bump-it gave my hair. What do you think?

So what do you guys think? Which one is your favourite? Make sure you visit both Rikke's and Jessica's blogs to see what they would wear too!

OOTD: What I'm Wearing for a Meeting with My Advisor

Hey Everyone,

This is just a quick OOTD post showing you what I am wearing today for a meeting with one of my PhD advisors. My exam is approaching rapidly (8 days away today) and I am just meeting with him to look over some of my practice responses to make sure I'm on the right track.

Peter didn't like this dress in the store, but all the other women were commenting on it in the changeroom and totally disagreeing with him. It was so totally unanimous that I had to get it, despite it not being Peter's fav. What do you think?  I paired it with some leggings from Dots and my glads.

I also got my hair done. I went to the Donato New Talent Salon on Lakeshore. They were great. I had SOOOO many greys! I am too stressed out. I was looking at a picture of myself from like a year ago, and I've aged so much in such a short period of time. It looks like it's been 5 years instead of one! Oh well, that's what a PhD program will do to you!

Anyways, without further ado, here's the outfit. What do you think?

Jacket - New Look/Dress, Belt, Leggings - Dots/Mirror Necklace - Forever 21/Other necklace - Thrifted/Sandals - Spring/Purse - Costa Blanca

What I'm Wearing...

So this week, I've decided to feature a maxi dress that I got from Walmart's 725 Plus collection. This dress is so cute and comfortable! I wear it with a pair of gladiator sandals and a big beige purse to get that ever-so-popular bohemian look.

The dress was around $20, and the sandals were $35 from Spring.

What I'm Wearing...

This is one of my favourite casual outfits. The navy top with gold embellishments is from Forever XXI's Faith 21 line, which is available here in Canada at the Mapleview Mall location in Burlington or in the Fairview Mall location in Toronto. I put a red camisole underneath from Ricki's and paired this with a pair of Seven jeans I picked up on a cross-border shopping trip to the US.  know, I know, not really Canadian... But they do ship here, and if you're within a reasonable distance to the border, our southern neighbours have a vastly superior range of plus options! The gold pointy shoes are from the Canadian store Spring. The bag is, again, from a vintage store. I love shopping at vintage stores for purses! It's wonderful what you can find for a great deal!
