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.

Ottawa Vintage Clothing Show: What I Bought

THIS JUMPSUIT is hands down one of the wildest and most amazing things I've found lately. If you know me, you know I'm a sucker for jumpsuits. Any kind. One of my major problems with them though is my booty.. it tends to take up the whole jumpsuit and it looks unflattering. I've finally found one that I feel truly confident in because it's so wide and flowy and fits me perfectly. The pattern is unbelievably cool too. I cannot wait for an occasion to rock it this summer. I splurged on this one and paid $40.

This skirt screams 60s. I adore the print and the way it flows when I walk. I've already worn it to work and love it so much. I paid $15. 

This gorgeous sequined top is self-explanatory. I adore sequin tops and rarely find long sleeved, floral ones. I had to have this for my collection. I paid $25.

What drew me to this ring was the very clear stone.. it's so pretty and simple. It's turned into an everyday necessity. I paid $10.
