FORTY-NINE/ chartreuse

Can you believe that I almost didn't buy this duster? The colour is just a huge step outside of my all black comfort zone and although I love it, I didn't think I would have the guts to actually wear it. It did take a bit of convincing from my friends for me to actually take it home with me and I'm so happy that I did. I don't think I can find the proper words to explain just how fun this piece is to wear and it is just so flowy I feel like an absolute goddess while wearing it.

SIXTEEN/ the dream shirt

I have been looking for this exact shirt for about a year now, possibly even longer. It is something that I made up in my mind and I wasn't able to find it anywhere. I searched high and low and even sent my friends on missions to find it as well. I wanted it SO badly that one of my best friends even tracked down a girl wearing something similar in a Tim Horton's to find out where she bought it.... the girl got it at Dynamite... so the hunt continued.

I went to the mall a couple of weeks ago to help my friend find a dress for a wedding she was attending but an alarm kept going off in the mall so we retreated into the only quiet store, The Bay.

That's where I saw it.

It's semi-sheer, white Calvin Klein safari blouse, long enough to wear with leggings and with gold buttons. The EXACT shirt that I have been lusting over for over a year was just there, hanging in front of me, I had to have it. We brought it up to the counter to pay, and it was even on sale. Definitely my favourite piece in my closet right now; I can't get enough of it.  It's perfect and it's all mine!

For this post I decided to wear it with my favourite American Apparel leggings, my animal print oxfords (with a hot pink sole!), a pink coloured purse with a cameo brooch and a bunch of gold accessories to liven up the plain white safari blouse.
