Anyone get a Julie McCoy feeling when they look at this outfit? Two points for even knowing who Julie McCoy is.

I'm linking up with Transatlantic Blonde and The Pleated Poppy Blog for some fashion inspiration.

Milly For Banana Republic & I can't Stay Away from this Coat

Last week I was invited to a shopping party for the Banana Republic Milly Collection. I took the always stylish and fellow Windsorite Jenny (blogger from Crazy Style Love) and missed Jane (blogger from Toronto Shopoholic). I have to admit when I go to any of these functions I try to wear something from that retailer. I don't know why I do it, I just feel like I should. Whoever reads this blog knows I wear lots of Banana Republic product (and no they don't sponsor me, and yes they should), so it wasn't a stretch to find something. To be honest, I knew exactly what I was going to wear, my "Mon Cheri" thin sweater. It was raining and miserable so it was an easy choice, layering for wet and cold weather is a must.

Yup, still wearing my Cocoa Wrap Bracelet. I cannot stop.

I had every intention of wearing these heels to the event, however, I ditched the heels and wore my nude Cole Haan nude penny loafers. I didn't go home empty handed, I picked up a great skirt from the collection and got to meet designer Michelle Smith.

I am blog hopping again with Transatlantic Blonde here and the Pleated Poppy here.

Monday Morning Cargo's

When these J Brand cargos first came out a few years ago I was smitten with them. Loved the cut and idea of skinny cargos because cargo pants are known to add bulk to our thighs but there was something feminine and sexy at the same time about these. I wore them a lot and then as with most things in our closet I wore them too much and got bored with them. I haven't worn them since the fall, I pulled them out of my closet last week and dressed them up with a basic white tee and a blazer, I was quite happy with the result.

A Bit of Sparkle

I wore this outfit when I officially became part of the Yorkdale Mall Style Council. I walked around the mall happy...and then was stopped seven times and asked where I got my top...and blazer. Proud to say Tristan! Best part? The blazer is made in Canada.

That's all I have for tonight. I'm back on The Marilyn Denis Show this morning, May 31, on CTV. Need to get my beauty sleep. I'm modelling shorts and how to wear them in your 30s.
