Hi everyone!  

Happy Saturday, and Happy May!

Thank you all so much for your kind comments about the gala dress I chose!  In the end I was really happy with how the whole outfit turned out and the event was really fun.  We got back into town Sunday afternoon and it was a gorgeous sunny day so I decided to catch up on some blog reading on our patio while Tony was at Avengers with a friend.  It was SO nice, I can't wait for more days like that!  Then, of course, we watched GOT!  

It felt like a short weekend since I was kind of 'working' on Saturday (at the gala), plus it was in Whistler which is about a 2 hour drive from here.  I'm working this weekend, too!  It's our live auction preview this weekend which means that we are exhibiting all of the artworks that we are going to be selling at our spring auction at the end of the month in Toronto.  

What are you all up to this weekend?

So I'm wearing a couple of new things this week!

The top in the first outfit is new H&M.  I bought it to see if it could be a replacement for this Old Navy shirt, since I love the colour but it wrinkled SO badly/easily!  Well, the joke's on me because as you can see this one is just as bad!  Also, the sleeves on this one are a bit too long, and the peplum hem is a bit weird.  They put an interior snap button on the peplum hem, but you can see it's pulling.  I ended up using safety pins to try and keep it closed but it seems like a design flaw - why not just leave it open?  In any case, I love the colour but that's about it!

Also, I've jumped on the pearl hair pin trend!  I bought this set of 5 for $10 off Amazon and they seem great!

In the second outfit, the knit pleated midi skirt is new.  It's by Wilfred, an Aritzia brand, but I bought it at a secondhand store so I think it's from a past season.  I don't love how I look in that outfit so I won't say much more about it!  LOL

The other new item I'm wearing is the blue striped midi dress in the last outfit.  I actually bought this dress at the end of last summer, but it was too long on me and I didn't get it hemmed until I brought it home with me at Christmas (my mum hemmed it!).  It felt very fresh and spring-y!

I'm getting my hair cut today and then there's a party at a brewery our friend used to be the head brewer for later on tonight.  Other than that, we don't have any plans!  Tony and I didn't get to spend much time together last weekend so we're going to try and have some quality time today.  It's looking like the weather is going to be good, so maybe we'll be able to hang out on our patio for a bit!

Anyways, thank you all so much for visiting!  And be sure to check out my April Monthly Outfit Roundup :)

  2. It's too bad about that first blouse! It's such a lovely color! I had a blouse in a similar color years ago but had the same issue with wrinkling and ended up donating it. I love that striped dress on you!
