Leather & Lace

October 26, 2011

Do you ever feel so good in an outfit that you have to wear it once more in exactly the same way? That’s how I felt in this look that I wore to the H&M opening several weeks ago. Since there were never proper blog photos taken of it anyway, I decided to put it on again- this time for a late Saturday afternoon visit to Van Dusen Garden. It was my first time there in all my 23 years in Vancouver, and it certainly won’t be my last. If you’re ever in town, I’d highly recommend a visit!



Wearing: H&M blouse, vintage belt and bag, Zara leather skirt (similar), Stuart Weitzman shoes (c/o), YSL ring (black w/ flecks version)

    This lace top is so pretty! It’s the perfect cut & print! And I am still madly in love with your YSL ring! Sigh! Dreamy!

    Oh you look SO gorgeous, I was hoping we could get a better look at this outfit, so yay to you for re-wearing this stunning look!

    I haven’t ever been to Van Dusen, at least, not in my recent years, but my dad had been volunteering there for a bit, so I guess that will be a sufficient excuse to hop on over ;)! I’m assuming you went when they had free admission? ๐Ÿ™‚

    I totally hear you on sometimes rewearing an outfit like that. I’ve heard VanDusen is super pretty but I still haven’t gone. Seems kind of expensive but I guess it’s worth it?

    I’d definitely wear this outfit to visit a beautiful garden.

    If you love gardens, I’d highly recommend taking a weekend to my own fair city of Flowers and visiting Buchart Gardens out that way. I went there a lot as a child and it’s probably why I fell in love with gardens… Beacon Hills Park is remarkably gorgeous this time of year as well.

    No wonder you feel good in this outfit, it’s so perfect for you. Every element of this outfit is what I love about your style: glam, bold, impeccably chic. So beautiful, these images are amazing! Oh and by the way I showed Matt your comment because he always beats himself up about his photog skills and he was so happy haha.

    I admit… I’m an outfit repeater. As long as I don’t wear the same outfit twice in the same few weeks, I tell myself no one notices ๐Ÿ™‚ I think this look was definitely worth the repeat, that lace blouse is gorgeous no matter what you pair it with, and I just love the petal-like cut of your leath skirt!
