Hey everyone! How are you?
This week was a long one for me, I worked six days as you can see from the above - so I'm happy it's the weekend - and it's sunny here! Yay!
Next weekend my sister and her husband are coming down and we are going to U2 and then the following Monday I am going to Toronto for two weeks for work, so I am enjoying having a no-plan Sunday. Friday night I had my hair done, then yesterday I went to hot yoga, followed by a bit of shopping and a movie with T. We met up with a friend for dinner afterwards and he ended up inviting more people to join us and they wanted to party so the night was much longer and more social than I had expected. I wanted to go home at 9! But it ended up being much later than that ... as a classic introvert I find many social situations to be exhausting and need to mentally prepare myself in advance for group gatherings. I wasn't able to do that last night so it was a tough one.
In happier news, let's talk shopping! I told you last week that I ordered a black pleated midi skirt from Dynamite to replace my J.Crew Factory one and I'm happy to say it's a keeper! I had to exchange the size small I ordered for an XS but I was able to do that in-store yesterday. I also had to exchange this cute white collarless cropped blazer for an XS and now it fits perfectly. A white blazer is a great completer piece, especially in Spring and Summer. You can see a few ways I wore my old H&M linen one here, here and here. Sadly I didn't do a good enough job keeping that one clean and it started to look a bit dingy this year so it had to go. But I think the Dynamite one is a good replacement and I like that the shape is a bit different than any other blazers I own. If you are looking for a classic white blazer, Old Navy has two good options this year. I tried on this one, but the smallest size was too big for me. This one was sold out in XS online, but I saw it in-store yesterday in white and it looks really cute. I also ordered this top from Dynamite and liked it so much I already wore it!
I ordered two midi skirts from Forever 21 that I Insta-storied about a week or so ago but am going to return them. Don't get me wrong, they are really cute and I could definitely see myself wearing them, but I tried them on with a few different tops and could really only see myself wearing them one or two ways each. I decided to be responsible and return them so I can save room in my closet (and bank account) for items I love more. Like this adorable striped one-piece from J.Crew!! Since last summer, a striped one-piece has been on my wishlist. It is just so cute and classic. I ordered this one from J.Crew Factory but the fit was off, so I have high hopes for this one! I have a feeling it's going to be perfect :)
See the blogs I link-up with here!
So many pretty looks this week, Jules. You look so good in blue. Love those patterned dresses you wore. The blush lace pencil skirt and ivory top look is super chic!

DeleteWhat an adult thing to return those midi skirts! I don't think I would have been able to do that since I loooove midi skirts and I have no self-control haha I love your dresses with the tie waists...they look so comfy and professional!
