Helloooo friends! I hope you had a great weekend and enjoyed this freakishly mild weather! Seriously, how is it February? Next stop bare limbs & sandals! (Okay, I’m getting ahead of myself…)

Stef and I set out to take blog photos on Saturday, and left plenty of time before I had to go build sets for my show. When we arrived at a super cute shooting location, my camera battery died…I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN. So we ended up having to run home, charge the battery, and take the photos in a sketchy alley beside my building. Not the prettiest backdrop, but I actually don’t mind it! #edgy

Onto this outfit…

It’s taken me a long time to warm back up to blue. As a kid, my sister and I always had matching clothes; hers were pink, mine were blue. My room was blue, my clothes were blue, eeeeeverything was blue…

I’m blue da ba dee da ba dieeee (…I couldn’t help myself…)

I think this is why I’ve been a pink lover over the past few years…major cool tone overload in my childhood. Lucky for me, I’ve finally come full circle and decided I can wear blue again! I didn’t really realize how much blue I was wearing for these pictures until I was already wearing it. I kind of dig it! I wear a ton of black, grey, etc…as a neutral enthusiast, it’s nice to throw in a bit of colour to jazz things up.

Yes, I just said “jazz things up.” Who am I.

Anyways. This purse is an old fave and I love pulling it out to mix up a neutral outfit. Same goes for this scarf that I got at Anthropologie…I AM OBSESSED. It’s so big and cozy and makes up for any lack of warmth from my leather jacket. Throw on some mirrored aviators (that are $5, might I add. This is not a drill.) and we’ve got ourselves a look!  All these details combined make a casual & comfy weekend outfit seem moderately put together. Score!

PS- can we talk about the fact that NYX is sold at Shoppers now??!? This is a big deal, since there isn’t a standalone store near me. I was casually browsing when I came across the NYX display….danger for a makeup junkie. I’m proud of myself for only grabbing one lipstick, and I think I found a winner. It’s the perfect berry nude (does that even make sense?) and it’s my new daily colour!
