Jules in Flats - May Outfits

Jules in Flats - May Outfits



Hi everyone!  Here's a look at what I wore to work last week.

Next week I will be in Toronto for work, so I won't have a weekly outfit post for you next weekend, but I will have my Monthly Outfit Roundup for May post up!

This weekend we are painting our apartment!  Yay!  LOL Our kitchen sink was finally installed this week, the dishwasher was properly plumbed, microwave and stove hooked up ... things are coming along here!  So painting is the next step while we wait for our backsplash tile to arrive, and T will hopefully put on the new cabinet pulls and maybe get us a storage unit (and start filling it) while I am gone next week.

Last weekend I did a bit of online shopping - if you saw my InstaStories you know I bought a few things from the J.Crew 40% off sale!  I haven't been able to find a pair of culottes at a good price, so I splurged on this pair, which I ordered in both grey and black to see which one I like more, plus I ordered them in both regular and Petite sizes, as I'm worried about how cropped they really are!  I tried on a pair at H&M and they weren't cropped on me at all :( Anyways, I also ordered this cute cherry-print ruffle top, and this velvet bow hair tie which sold out last fall.

I finally ordered that Dynamite jumpsuit that I've been talking about for ages, along with a couple of kimonos to try (this one and this one), a blue wrap shirtdress, a white shirtdress, and a white floral blouse.  The dresses were buy one, get one 50% off and I had a 25% off coupon for the rest of the items :).  I'll let you know how everything turns out once they arrive!

To my US readers, I hope you have a great Memorial Day long weekend!  And to everyone, thank you as always for reading!

Jules in Flats - May Outfits


Hi everyone!

I hope you're having a great weekend!  And if you're Canadian, a great long weekend!


We decided to stay in town for the long weekend and T had a friend from Vancouver Island come over and stay with us for Saturday and Sunday.  They are both big into board games so there was a lot of that happening at our place this weekend! LOL


The good news for me is that I was able to catch up on a lot of blog reading, editing photos and posting for my blog, too!  If you read either of the two posts before this one, you'll know that I had to back-post those as I wasn't able to take outfit pics in real-time due to our kitchen reno.  Anyways, in other good news I also got to do some shopping this weekend!

I went to Forever 21 and got this dress, which I am planning on wearing to my bestie's wedding in July.  The dress code is casual, and both the ceremony and reception will be held in her parent's vineyard.  It was only $30 so I figured if I change my mind, or find a better dress between now and July I can find somewhere else to wear it! 



I also went to Old Navy, hoping to get some more black Pixie pants, but they didn't have my size so I'm going to do an online order today.  Somehow 3 of my 4 pairs are either too small, too short or too faded for me to wear comfortably anymore, and the 4th pair isn't too far behind!  I'm also going to order this dress which looks like a great easy summer dress that I can also wear to work (can never have too many of those!), and these espadrille mules and this skirt from Gap.  I don't know if the Gap items are going to work or not, but there's only one way to find out! (Don't you just love free shipping and returns?!)



The only kind-of new thing I wore last week are the woven mules from Gap which I wear so much they don't feel new anymore!  The chambray tassel top is from Old Navy last year, but you probably haven't seen it in awhile as it's not really a Winter/Fall item, even though you could layer a cardigan over top.  The lace t-shirt is from J.Crew Factory a few years ago, I just don't seem to wear it much for whatever reason.   I linked to similar items above if you are interested!



Anyways, thank for reading and I hope you have a great week!

Jules in Flats - May Outfits


Hi everyone!

Here's a look at what I wore to work the second week of May.

As I mentioned in this post, I am back-posting this as I wasn't able to take all of my outfit photos in real time due to our balcony being used for kitchen reno debris.

I'm not wearing anything new in these pics except for this gingham top, which you've already seen here.  I honestly keep reaching for it after work and on the weekends and I love that I can wear it to work, too.  I need more tops like this!  

This weekend T and I went to the Okanagan to visit my family and it was so nice to be able celebrate Mother's Day with my Mum!  We asked her what she wanted to do and she said she wanted to go to Linden Gardens, so that's what we did!  It was really peaceful and beautiful but there weren't a lot of different varieties of flowers in bloom - just lots of azaleas and lilacs!  After we strolled around the grounds we had a coffee in the gazebo and went to Riverside Greenhouse and Nursery - Mum's second request!  She bought a bunch of flowers to plant in her garden and then we headed home to get ready for a big family BBQ dinner.  The weather was amazing, it was 28 degrees (celsius) so it truly felt like summer the entire weekend!

Next weekend is a long weekend in Canada (Victoria Day) and we are planning on staying in town.  T may have a friend come over from Nanaimo (Vancouver Island) to play board games, and I'm hoping for some good long weekend sales! LOL

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend and thank you for reading!

Jules in Flats - What I Wore to Work in May

Jules in Flats - What I Wore to Work in May


Hi everyone!  How are you?!  

Here's a look at what I wore to work the first week of May.  I'm back-posting this as I wasn't able to take all of my outfit photos in real time due to our balcony being used for kitchen reno debris.  It's clear now, so we're back to regularly scheduled programming! LOL

The kitchen reno is coming along well, our cabinets have been installed which feels like a major victory, the appliances are in (although microwave and stove are not hooked up), and our dishwasher is running which means no more doing dishes in the bathroom sink!!  The countertops and kitchen sink are being installed on Tuesday which means the end is in sight!  I'm so excited for the countertops to go down and the backsplash to be installed.  The cabinet pulls I ordered didn't work unfortunately (really really disappointed because they would have looked perfect), so I've ordered these instead.  They are larger than I wanted so we'll see if they are going to work or not; I think they should arrive by the end of the week.

The Gap order that I talked about last week arrived and unfortunately most of it was returned - I think I only kept the bralette (which is super soft and comfy BTW).  I thought the espadrilles were going to work but after wearing them to walk to work one day and on a lunch break the blisters were too painful!  Luckily I called customer service and they allowed me to return them, even though I'd worn them outside.  Also, after all of your positive comments on this jumpsuit, I've decided to order it!  I was just waiting for a coupon/discount code/sale, and finally got one for 25% off so fingers crossed it works!  I'm going to get this dress that I talked about at well, which looks perfect for Spring and Summer.

Anyways, I hope you all have a great weekend and thank you for visiting!
