A look back at a few of my favourite outfits from this time last year...

Look what just arrived in the mail! So exciting. Something I was coveting is now mine.
The best part? I saved a good $50 by purchasing online, versus in store (see pic below, which I snapped a couple weekends ago after I had ordered these). Here's how I did it:
1. I logged into Ebates to check and see if the store I wanted to purchase from (Designs by Stephene) was there. It was and with 6% cash back (that's huge!).
2. I clicked on Designs by Stephene, on Ebates, and was transferred to the store.
3. I added the Vince Camuto 'Kastern' sandals to my bag.
4. I checked Retail Me Not for a coupon code and found one for 20% off.
5. I applied the coupon code to my purchase and checked out.
6. I received my shoes in the mail a couple weeks later and a cheque from Ebates shortly thereafter.
Shoes in store: $145. Shoes online: $98.
Outfit deets:
* Alexandre Bartlett top from Winners (old)
* Mexx bubble skirt (old) that's been worn with a navy and baby blue colour blocked top
* Ardene flats, DIY'ed with a neon pink cap-toe
* Accessories: J.Crew necklace & Joe Fresh bangle
Colour explosion!
When I wore this outfit I felt like I was wearing a lot of colour. Looking at the photos now? Not so much.
I think in person though. rocking three brights at once is not something that comes easy for most. It certainly doesn't for me. Wearing one bright is enough, two is slightly intimidating and three is something I never thought I'd go for... until now.
I've been pushing my 'fashion box' limits lately, and wearing lots of colour is part of that. I used to be a big neutral person, but I'm trying to take advantage of the big colour-blocking (and neon) trend that is happening for this spring and summer. It's actually gotten to the point where I'm now no longer even wanting to wear neutrals! I am constantly going for the colours in my closet, versus the black and greys. Success!
How do you feel about wearing a lot of colour ?
Later that day, some girlfriends and I went out for a movie and drinks, so I slipped on my neon pink shorts and kept the rest of the outfit the same. Now how's that for adding even more colour!
Other ways I've multiple colours:
* Bright accessories: shades, pashmina & necklace
* While working out / gettin' my fitness on
* Purple dress, orange necklace (a suggestion from a friend)
* My first colour blocking outfit
* Watermelon colours (I love this)
* The 'Easter threw up on me' outfit

Annnnd, a funny video we made on Saturday night...
My girl friend and I like to get together for attempted bi-weekly meals. We live close to each other so it's great for impromptu dinners or a planned one like last night.
We decided to have fajitas and split up the ingredients to pre-shop. I was in charge of some toppings (I made guacamole for the first time and it turned out amazing!) and the drinks. We sat on the patio, drank, ate and talked. She read my tarot cards and I made some distressed denim shorts for her out of her old jeans. Then we decided to take her adorable pup for a walk and ended up getting into some crazy shee-nans at the park (check out that video below). Aren't summer evenings the best?
Happy weekend!
Outfit deets: A.Co Designs top, Vanilla Star shorts & Promise gladiator sandals
