{Remix} 1 Blazer, 4 ways...

This blazer has been in pretty steady rotation ever since it came to live at Casa de Crazy-Clothes Lady (that's me!), so I thought it might be fun to show you a few of the ways I've styled it in the past. From preppy layers and polka dots, to girlie dresses and prints-galore, there's no shortage of remixing possibilities and I intend to try them all... Challenge accepted.

My favourite way to wear this blazer so far has been over lightweight dresses, particularly the white feather dress pictured above. The light colours and contrasting textures work really well together, giving the illusion of a fresh, spring-ready look that still keeps you relatively warm (say what!). In fact, I liked this look from last May so much that I recreated it with a similar blazer here.... Hey, a girl's got to milk these things, OK?

Happy Thursday, friends! xx

{Glitter Week} The Shoes...

Hello and welcome to a brand new theme week! This time, it's all about glitter... Because from clothing and accessories, to beauty and back, everything looks better with glitter, no?

I have a full week of glittery goodness planned for you guys, but let's kick things off (so to speak) with these sparkly loafers. They were a gift from my buddy Kastles last summer, and I couldn't love them more. Seriously now, they're comfy, cute and they take that whole "spring in your step" thing to a new level. What's not to love?

Thanks for reading love bugs, and be sure to check back in tomorrow for more glitter action! xx

{Style} For the Love of Shoes... and Mint.

As temperatures drop, I figure why not brighten things up with some good old fashioned pastels? They're cheerful, bright and super feminine to boot... Seriously now, just try and feel low when you're wearing pastels � I dare you!

Want in on a secret? I think I'm well on my way to shoe fetish-ville here, guys... Now I know you must be thinking So what, Vickie? but I'm telling you, it's a big deal for me. I've always been a purse junkie that's given little-to-no thought to her footwear, so this newfound shoe fascination is both scary (sorry bank account) AND exhilarating... I tell ya, it's like I'm a whole new person. *shrug*

{Style} Gingham Style...

Well it's official� Gingham is my new jam. I don't know what it is, but I can't seem to get enough of those little squares. They're like the perfect blend of casual and preppy, anchoring dressier elements while adding visual interest. What am I even talking about? Who cares, they're totally cute... Let's just go with that.

Happy Wednesday, friends! xx

{Style} Wooded Walk...

So I never thought I would be saying this, but the whole not shopping thing is actually working out for me. After my initial withdrawals faded (that part was not fun, believe me), I stopped feeling compelled to buy things just for the sake of buying them. And the amount of awesomeness I've rediscovered within my own wardrobe astounds me. I think I've only worn this blazer once before (super cray!), and it had been eons since I last wore this vintage scarf or these Joe Fresh pumps... What can I say ladies and gentlemen, I'm a new woman.

Pretty Pastels...

Today's outfit is brought to you by H&M, that wonderful neighbourhood mass retailer who always knows what I need... And in this case, what I needed happened to be a mint green dress. The moment I saw it I just knew it had to be mine, and couldn't wait to pair it with this blazer that I bought there last year... Can you say pastel heaven? Sigh.

Happy Tuesday, love bugs! xx

Light as a Feather...

Question: Did you guys ever play 'light as a feather, stiff as a board' when you were kids? I guess the feather print on this Forever 21 dress reminded me of those early days on the playground, where we hopelessly willed ourselves to float in thin air between breaks from the monkey bars or daisy chain-making... Oh, the good old days. Well needless to say, it didn't really happened for us � I guess eight-year-old Vickie's levitating skills never quite kicked in... At least I'll always have this feather dress though, right?

Coral Crush...

Yesterday was a beautiful day, which I spent galavanting with a dear friend... We checked out Royal Bison for some incredible crafts, had some refreshments and basked in the sun � Totes amaze. I got some pretty cool jewelry at the fair (see item 3 above!), as well as an adorable calendar printout that I promptly wrinkled and creased... What a girl.

What did you guys get up to this weekend? I wanna know! xx

The Office...

Now I don't know about you lovely ladies, but I always have such a hard time dressing for the office... There's always this fine line between injecting your personality into office-appropriate gear and totally missing the mark. That's why I decided to take my favourite new jeans (so me!) and pair them with a black structured blazer (so officey!) to appease the two... And with a couple fun accessories thrown in for good measure, I was ready to paint the office red... Or, you know, mint green.

What do you guys wear to work? xx
