30 for 30 - Day 4 & Everybody Everywear - The Blazer

So I am gonna have to make this a mega quick post as I am on my way out the door to work, and if I don't sort the post out now (Monday Night) I won't have time before tomorrow. I decided to roll two challenges into one post and use one outfit with just a little difference.

First up my 30 for 30 Day 4 outfit (I apologise for my creased skirt but this was a quick shot taken before packing the outfit and I assure you it was ironed before it was actually worn out of the house)
Outfit made up of: 4+13+22+26
4. I.N.C
13. Nygard Collection
22. F+F
26. TKMaxx
+
Random Leggings
Random Feather and bead necklace
Random Ring
Hair band from Canada
Some pattern mixing as you can see. I have been wanting to pair these 2 items together for a while but just hadn't gotten round to it. I think the strong flower motif on both makes them work well together. Plus I don't own a lot of yellow so think it's great the two piece work with each other. I think I could also do this outfit with a plain white tank top in the summer, when it is a little warmer.

Now for my second part. This months Everybody Everywear item was - The Classic Blazer. I didn't put one in my 30 for 30 - so this doesn't count as a 30 for 30 outfit but I am using the basic items with the blazer. This is how I change my look very simply from casual to business. Drop the cardigan, necklace and bow hairband - pull on a smart black blazer and don my glasses and voila... a chic business look
Blazer - River Island
Brooch - Vintage

This was worn to a business meeting with my new editor.



Ok so thats all, coz if I don't leave now I'm gonna miss my bus.
Hope you like my outfits for both the challenges. What would you pair my skirt or cardigan with? Any suggestions?

Feeling all floral

Just a little outfit from friday when I was feeling the florals. I have realised I never know what to do with my hands, their always quite awkward!
I had this cardigan from one of the charity shops, it reminded me of the Sooki Stakehouse one I had been fancying ages ago in this post.

Skirt: I-N-C (Sears, Canada)
Top: Next
Cardigan: George (via charity shop)
Brooch: Vintage
Necklace: Algonquin Park Gallery (Canada)
Tights: Vintage Christian Dior (via charity shop)
Hairband: Random store Canada
Shoes (not pictured): Were the black and white ones from last outfit post New Look

I have never quite got to grips with the whole Polyvore thing, although I have seen many bloggers do some amazing outfits. But yesterday I found Looklet (anyone else been on this yet?) and spent an hour or so fiddling with it. I think the site is fairly new compared to Polyvore so there aren't as many item choices but they are always adding new stuff. I came up with these little outfits! What do you think?

Anyway that was just a little bit of fun that I thought some of you might enjoy!

Don't forget to enter my giveaway.
