Do you ever put something on and feel so quintessentially "you" in it-- wherein you feel like you've captured the essence of your personal style perfectly with an outfit? Of course, that's what I hope to find every day, and perhaps it is inexperience that causes me to falter, but it doesn't always happen for me all the time. However, that's what I felt when I threw together this outfit today. The result? Confidence and cheer in spite of lack of sleep and a bad hair day. Isn't it great that something as simple as clothing can do wonders to boost the spirits?
Wearing: Zara silk leopard print blouse and blazer, H&M skirt and tights, Aldo shoes, Forever 21 necklace

If this is quintessentially you, I love it :) Something about a nautical blue skirt with sheer black stockings and chunky heels feel so put together. I love the look - colors, texture and flowiness of the outfit :)

You look so beautiful in these pictures, I agree that the right outfit can pick someone up in spite of trying circumstances. Some people think fashion is inconsequential but I disagree...your post proves them wrong! :)

Adorable outfit, I love the mixture of leopard and stripes!! Were these taken in Fort Langley? It's one of my favourite spots for photos. And I agree, a great outfit can always turn the day around!
and yes, it's my second year at SFU :)

I so totally agree with you on your point of view, femininity is the number one key factor when I "judge" a girls appearance. With femininity comes confidence and sex appeal automatically.
I am crazy about your style and dress sense, I think you are a true example of femininity and elegance. You dress with ample style and class, yet always with a sophisticated hint of sex appeal.
Great blog, great pics, and I have become a loyal follower.
Have a super week.
Colin.
Ps, I think you have really well shaped legs, and you can wear your skirts and heels with pride. :)

It's true... this outfit is totally "you"! :) And if that's what you consider a bad hair day then I probably have never had a good hair day!

Your outfits just keep getting better and better! I love how you're mixing such bold patterns here. You inspire me lady!
I tried mixing leopard layered with a sheer polka dot over top. Loved the combo, but it didn't show unfortunately in photos :(

This is such an unusual combination of two prints I wouldn't ever have tried, but, surprisingly, it works well here! Great job ;)

The bold jewelry and the flirty dress is such a Jen outfit! Omeah, you are already busting out the tights. It's currently still 94 degrees out where I live and I just can't bring myself to wear tights right now, even though they are so darn flippin' cute!

Gotta love that necklace, right? I've worn it 4 days straight and I don't see why I should stop at 4 ;) I love how regal this outfit looks. The mix of prints is just pure genius. How are you holding up in those sky-high wedges?!?!?!? Are they comfortable? :)
ps. bad hair day?? pssshhh... it looks great ;)

I'm often torn between society's perception of fashion and my own. And the fact that I feel most comfortable in T-shirts and shorts, like "me" - yet my "best" self is a pair of killer heels and a fabulous one piece...I dunno, I'm about to start rambling....
Love the outfit :)

This is such a brave, fierce look. Cheers to pattern mixing, so fresh!
plus, the location of this photo shoot is fantastic!

Okay so that is basically the best example of mixing of patterns I HAVE EVER SEEN EVER. PERIOD. DONE. ZILCH. Sorrow, I tend to get super excited :) I'm absolutely in love with this look though. Actually.
PS- You write beautifully <3
