Spring to me is all about re-birth, dusting the snow off and embracing the warmth that is coming on stronger every day. Wardrobe transitions don't have to be extreme, they can be Easy, Easy Like Sunday Morning (without the break up the song is about). Today it's about light knits, t-shirts and jeans; no bulky coats and heavy fabrics that are synonymous with winter. On Monday's I sometimes help at my children's school serving hot lunches. You will also usually find me at the grocery store or Costco (usually both) re-stocking our shelves after the weekend. When the weather gets warmer I will be wearing great skirts and dresses to run these errands but for now I'm sticking to denim. Easy. Me.
These brogues have been a hit and I am pretty sure are sold out on the Canadian Gap website. The neutral colour goes with everything. They were very reasonably priced and are leather. I am a snob about leather shoes. Maybe its an age thing, I haven't worn synthetic faux leather shoes since my early 20s. Don't ever get me started on acrylic fabrics as well.

Looks can be deceiving. It is a linen blend so not too soft.
DeleteLove this outfit - casual but chic! LOL - I have the opposite problem - everything is too long on me :P
ReplyDeleteNo perfect compromise for us.
DeleteGreat colours Iva - they really suit you. It's funny, so often we wish we were taller but just like being petite, being gorgeous and tall has its challenges too. My neighbour is the same height as you and when I heard the lengths (scuse the pun) she has to go to, to get trousers and arms long enough for her, I was so surprised. It's not easy at all but you (and my neighbour) make it effortless, Ax
ReplyDeleteYou are making me blush! Just don't stop (hehe).
DeleteI would totally wear this head to toe. Love the scarf!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan!
DeleteI love how easy it is for you to wear jeans! The scarf and cardi are brilliant together and you've actually maybe sold me on brogues xx
ReplyDeleteI was hesitant about the brogues too. It reminds me of early high school...I took a chance and like the result.
Deletereally great look
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I hope you come back.
DeleteI love the light knit sweater, white t-shirt, and pretty scarf! Those oxfords are awesome! You styled them perfectly:)!
ReplyDeleteThis looks comfortable and stylish. I just did some spring shopping at Burlington. I love their discounts and my new clothes are so comfy.
