Lucky Skirt & Ottawa Woman

I wore this outfit to my friend's birthday outing to Babylon for Shameless, a night where they play guilty pleasures from the 90s. I found this skirt at Value Village and didn't even know if it fit me before buying because I was in a rush (which I don't recommend doing). As you can see, luckily it fit me and I paired it with a plain tank-top and wedge sandals.  

I hope you're all enjoying the beginning of summer. It doesn't quite feel like summer here in Ottawa yet but I have hopes that it is on it's way. And while the weather has been gloomy, I've been keeping dry inside, writing for my new column Woman About Town in Ottawa Woman newspaper- a paper that celebrates the achievements of women. For my first article, I wrote about a lovely new coffee and bakeshop in town called Three Sisters. If you live in Ottawa and like friendly people and good food, I suggest a visit. You can read my article on page 9 of the issue.

Ri-Ri Attire

As you can probably tell by the title, this is what I wore to see Rihanna in concert last week. This was my second time seeing her and I was blown away yet again. This show was definitely a bigger production and I felt like she had matured a bit from her Loud days. She played all my favourites including Rude Boy, Man Down, Mother Mary, and the classic Umbrella. I was dancing and crying and laughing all at once and I loved every minute of it. 

My favourite outfit of her show. This Givenchy jumpsuit is to die for. It was a good fit for singing her hit "Diamonds", I'd say.

My outfit:  Meet my new mom jeans. Aren't they so cool? They're super comfortable and I love how 80s they look. They can be dressed up or down and go with just about everything. That being said, they will only be making an appearance on weekends and some evenings. I simply adore my new sunnies. I firmly believe that cat-eye is the only shape for me. My fur bag is hated on by just about everyone but I don't care because I love it so much. It's faux fur and I got it for $2 at Value Village.

Big thanks to my photographer: Rosie of Secondhand-Rose.
