florals for spring














Cardigan: new to me, from cousin Christy
Jewellery: Hattitude, my own line of jewellery check it out here
Romper: Vintage, Used House of Vintage, Vancouver 
Tights: Urban Outfitters
Shoes: Vintage, Guelph 

How this outfit came to be Hattified: I wanted to wear this romper, since I just got it the other day while shopping with my mama. Mustard is my favourite colour... thus
it made sense to pair it with my mustard tights and belt. To add another layer and Hattify this outfit real good, I added the texture of the lace cardigan, (thanks christilina) and the long neutral coloured necklace. 

Why this outfit works: It's not too much mustard. Just enough mustard in my opinion. I could have went all out and put a mustard sweater on, but I refrained myself and just added the beige with lace cardigan to add another texture and interesting effect. 

Another version: Wear it with brown tights and a brown belt to calm this look down. Don't forget to wear your Hattitude jewels. If you're wearing Hattitude this weekend out and about around town, tweet me @hattitudejewels of you wearing it, or email me hattitude at live . com 

Tonight (which is last night, I do my posts one day in advance) we are going to see Joel Plaskett. I'm excited because it will be the third main concert venue in Vancouver that we get to cross off our list. My favourite so far is of course, the commodore ballroom, where we saw Bombay Bicycle Club. It has my heart, through and through and through (get it? Joel's song? ha-ha). 

Yesterday was one of the first days that I sat out on my balcony and soaked in the sun while staring out at the water, reading canadian book title, Origins of Species. Have you read it? Do you have any good book suggestions? I'm always looking for some. 

Hard to imagine we are going home to Ontario, in 6 days! Friendlies from home, tell me it's nice there? I left in the winter, and am still picturing you all stuck in snow parkas with crisp white snow around you. Oy.

Break out the cowboy boots

Spring is kind of an ugly season...aesthetically looking that is. Clothing and fashion wise, it's one of my favourite times of years...but outside, it's just really unfortunate looking out. Spring doesn't have the beautiful gardens that summer does, it doesn't have the amazing leaf colours that fall has, and it doesn't have the crisp whiteness of the snow that winter has. Spring is brown and homely outside at this time of year...BUT it does have one great aspect that none of the other seasons have, it's got fabulous fashion trends that we've been craving all winter long, FLORAL prints! Spring has one of the best euphoric feelings mentally then any other season. We're coming out of winter long dark days, into sunny warm light days...Spring means summer is just around the corner. With the warmer weather here, I'll forgive the Spring season for being one of the more homely looking ones and embrace the fact that tomorrow it's suppose to be 25 degrees, and I'm bustin' out of my closet my purple maxi dress...So here are my

Top ten reasons I love spring….

Acid washed jean jackets

The first blue flower sprouting from the ground

Dreaming of cottage trips

Planning the first ice cream cone lick

Ruffled skirts

Beers on outdoor patios with friends

Breaking out the cowboy boots

Getting your rubber ducky boots muddy

Sunshine in puddles

Margarita weather isn’t far away

Another reason I love spring, discovering new bands, and musicians coming out of hybernation from the winter. Check out a great blog, hearintheattic, by Anna Weisen, where she talks about having a concert in her living room, by an amazing musician Megan Bonnell. What a great idea for spring, A living room concert series! Anna is a witty writer, who is as cute as button, in her vintage clothes, with my favourite dress of hers, named Rosie! ha Check out her blog by clicking here.
