Boyfriend Inspired



Since David's last name begins with an 'H', he (and his family) have a penchant for all things Hermès (how cute!). And for as long as I've known him, he has almost always preferred to wear this reversible belt on the bright signature orange side instead of the classic black. Well, he's obviously way more stylish than I am, as it wasn't until recently that I realized how perfect it is as a colourful accent. He was sweet enough to let me borrow it today to instill a pop of cheer into my otherwise simple look.

P.S. Yes, my jeans totally do need to be shortened! Not foolin' anyone with those bunched up hems.









Wearing: H&M blouse, Forever 21 top, jeans from Saks Off Fifth, Zara sandals, Aldo clutch, Hermès belt (borrowed from boyfriend)

  1. I didn't even notice the bunched up hems til you said so! Your boyfriend is obviously more stylish than mine.. mine would never wear an orange belt haha. Love your shoes!

  2. I really like this outfit! Clean and crisp. Those shoes are such a great color too. I also have troubles with my hems :D I always end up with a pair of jeans I just don't feel like fixing so they get so ragged at the end, ha.

  27. The belt provides the perfect pop of contrasting colour for all the blues and whites in your outfit! He's very sweet to let you borrow it.

    Re. your comment: I'm pretty sure there will be quite a selection of size 6's at the Dakota Group sample sale if past precedence is anything to go by! (I'm a 6 and it's like shoe shopping heaven there.)

    I love a boy who isn't afraid of color...hehe. You've got a stylish one on your hands!

    You have a great eye for color, and I'm always getting ideas for color palettes from your photos.

    What I'm even more impressed about is seeing you sit in these photos, on a leaf covered rock ledge in white pants! LOL. Are you sitting on something for protection? :P

    Davis has been wanting the same Hermes belt for the longest time! I need to convince him to get it soon so I can borrow it like all the time.

    Great idea to pair it with the white. <3

  41. Adorable! I have a penchant for all things Hermès too, but...I don't have a single H in my name. Oh well! (It's also lightyears from fitting into my budget so I guess I have a penchant from afar.)

    I love the way you mix patterns, too. I never would have thought to pair that clutch and blouse, but it looks gorgeous!

  47. I can't beleive I've gone so long without knowing about so many fabulous Vancouver bloggers, you included, of course! I stumbled upon your blog via Alexandra's (which is funny, since it seems you found mine the same way.)I just love your cheerful, classic style- the orHermes orange belt really is a perfect accent to this look (and I completely sympathise with the pants needing to be hemmed issue. I have a 30' inseam on a good day; good luck finding pants that are short enough for that!) I am most definitely your newest follower, and it would be lovely if you could join in at one of our Vancouver blogger gatherings sometime soon :)

  49. Your boyfriend's orange belt is just perfect for this outfit! :)

    I once borrowed my husband's belt and since I had to use the smallest hole, totally bent the leather and it looks funny now. Oops.

    These photos are lovely, and you look amazing!
