Quick Outfit Post – Gingham and Lace

Posted on July 24, 2012 by Elaine
I finally caved and bought a gingham top after admiring the look on bloggers like Cee and SPG.
It’s getting difficult to find the time and the space to take outfit pictures and when I’m out I always forget to ask someone to snap a picture for me! One time when I was visiting the Blush Pretty Toronto Studio I asked Stephanie to take my picture – we probably should have considered the spotlight behind me and the reflection in the mirror LOL! But oh well! 😛

IMG_0363
Skirt: Ann Taylor Factory Lace Crochet Skirt 0P
Belt: H&M XS
Top: Old Navy Camp Shirt XS (different colours here)
Shoe: Avon size 7 (Old)
This gingham shirt is super soft and really comfortable and I like the smaller gignham pattern on me as opposed to the larger pattern and I was more drawn to the brighter sunnier colour of this orange (can’t find online!) as opposed to the classic colours like black and navy. Since I’m petite I personally think smaller patterns look better on me. I also like the look of this casual gingham print paired with the “fanicer” lace crochet skirt! Makes me feel not too dressy and not too casual 😛
What do you think of this combination, does it work for you or would you try something different?

    Welcome to the gingham club! I like how we all chose a different color to fit our wardrobe (or in my case, it’s colorS plural, lol). I think the outfit works because the gingham squares are small. More outfit posts please! 🙂

Celebrating our best boy’s birthday with a custom Celebrating our best boy’s birthday with a custom sensitive-tummy-approved cake from @jujulet! Cause life’s too short not to mark special occasions 🐶❤️🎂 

I can’t believe @guster_dog is already 6! 😭❤️❤️

The cake is made of pumpkin, sweet potato, spinach, and carrot. The “frosting” is potato cream mixed with natural colorings. Gluten-free and lactose-free with lots of healthy veggies means Guster can enjoy his special treat and we don’t have to worry about his health. 🥳

The cake is truly a work of art, and - as you can see - Guster definitely approves of the taste! He ate the sculpture of himself so fast that we didn’t even catch it on camera! 🙈

Would you get a cake for your pet?

I was invited to try the Turkish Bath Ritual and was truly blown away. The space is beautiful and calming, the service was impeccable, and the treatment itself was divine. 🧖‍♀️💆‍♀️ 

It’s an indulgence to be sure, but one I would 10/10 recommend for special occasions. 

Have you tried this type of treatment?

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted much. I’m finding it a bit hard, tbh. 🫤

I’m figuring out what the next phase of #TorontoBeautyReviews looks like and healing from an injury, while my 9-5 has lately been more like 7-7, so I’m filling my off hours with family, dance, food, and books. Finding joy and peace where I can in an intense world. ❤️

I still try out lots of products and I do occasionally paint my face 🙃. I’m just not as interested in the grind of daily posts just for the sake of staying relevant anymore. Which has meant that I’m not on as many PR lists as I used to be. Which means that I don’t have as much new stuff to review. It’s a cycle. 

Things are shifting, which is tough sometimes. But it’s ok - so am I. 😊

A longer video, because there’s a lot to talk abou A longer video, because there’s a lot to talk about here. 🫤 I’ll be reaching out to the company in question to make them aware of the situation, but I wanted to share it with you all as well. 

How is this type of thing still happening, even in the age of AI? If a high-tech “smart tool” can’t properly recognize and accommodate diverse skin tones, then it needs further development and should not yet be released. End of story. 

Use your purchasing power to support brands that are inclusive in their product development, testing, promotion, AND corporate structure. Every action has impact.
