mixing neutrals

i've had the worst luck with technology over the past week. i've been desperately trying to upload pictures of my outfits for you guys but they haven't been working! then, my camera decided to die, my phone doesn't like charging anymore and that basically leaves my batteryless laptop and ipad as the only two things still semi-functioning. so here are some lovely webcam pictures that i took for you guys. hopefully my computer will decide to work soon so i can upload some pictures or i can finally figure out how to transfer files from my computer to my laptop! this outfit was kind of thrown together but you can always trust neutrals to look good together, that's why i love them! i was going to see liam, zayn, niall, louis and harry as they're about an hour away from me but as fate would have it, karma decided to be a bitch(again). on a positive note, i got another fish today. i called it rex, hopefully he won't be eaten by my cats like the others! happy oscar sunday my lovelies! who are you vouching for?

the girl

excuse the webcam pictures! i went to chapters today and bought $187.63 worth of books there only to come home and find an unused $100 gift card. but i think i bought some pretty good books, i'll let you know if anything really jumps out at me. i picked these shorts up at h&m in december and thought i'd wear them to holiday parties but ended up being sick most of the holidays. so i picked these up the other day and decided to wear them. i think they're the shortest pair of shorts i own....but they're really pretty :)

orange skirt, tight budget


jacket: dad's
boyfriend jeans: guess
hi-tops: converse
cross-body bag: naturalizer


Following exams (granted, I only had one), I went out a couple times for a little retail therapy. What I wasn't expecting, however, was not having sufficient funds for what I wanted. See, although I worked almost everyday leading up to New Year's, I'd put it all into a savings plan.

I almost wish I'd gone thrifting; what was left would've gone a long way at Value Village, but instead I ended up spending four hours combined at a local mall and the biggest, most overwhelming shopping centre in the GTA: Square One. Other than not getting a pair of darling jeans (I might have to go back for them, though), here's how I contently made out with just over $120 in my spending account-

new wallet from Naturalizer

high-waisted jeans from Searsorange jersey skirt from H&M

elbow-patch blazer from RW & Co.

tassel belt from RW & Co.


a couple of cds from HMV

Naturalizer's pretty notorious for their granny shoes, but I like their accessories. Sears at Square One was shocking- I daresay the fitting rooms were nicer than the Bay's. Too bad I couldn't get more music, I would've liked to... but hopefully you're enjoying my photo-shopped backgrounds (I'll try harder next time). Anyways, after being disappointed (scent-wise) by the Body Shop's hemp foot protector, I also opted to try out a similar product from Yves Rocher.

Oh, and a pair of nude-coloured undies from La Senza's I ♥ Cotton line. I'll need them for the growing number of white pants in my wardrobe.
