Army Green

Along with navy blue, army green plays a big part in my closet as an "almost neutral". Yes it's a color, but played properly, can step in to complement almost any outfit.


Details
Vest: Envy
Skirt and sandals: Topshop
Tee: Gap
Bracelet: Beck & Boosh
Watch: Stolen from Hubby (Movado with a Fossil strap)
Necklace: Joe Fresh



Both my tee and my skirt have busy prints, but with the vest breaking up the transition, it tones the outfit down a lot. I wore this to work, but this is the type of outfit you could wear running errands, to a casual dinner, or on a coffee date.
I just want to pull that wrinkle out over my chest...
This is a fun time of year for style. Summer staples can get paired with pops of autumn attire. We've been having a super September here in Nova Scotia. If you have any style questions, feel free to drop me a line at jennifermerlin14@gmail.com . You can also find me on Instagram: jennifermerlin14

Let's Make A Deal

Dear Nova Scotia,

Let's make a deal, ok? You melt your dirty brown snow banks and give me some warm weather, and I'll quit boring my blog readers with indoor photos.

It's so hard to see all the amazing spring clothes in stores now and know that it will be months before I can wear them without looking insane and freezing my buns off. Why do they tempt us?

Details
Sweater: Gap (Halifax)
Jeans: Guess (Moments, Truro)
Scarf: Aerie (Dartmouth)
Boots: Call it Spring (Halifax)
Bracelet and earrings: Gifts


Confession: I bought this scarf last fall, intending to give it to someone for Christmas. Then I forgot and bought them something else. I found it in January in a bag in my closet. Win for me.

Has that ever happened to you? What did you end up keeping?

I skipped my writing prompt last week (oops). Here's the answer to Plinky's question:

A genie has granted your wish to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What's it like?

My writing desk would be very tidy. It would be black and there would be colourful bulletin boards on the walls behind it. I’d have fresh flowers on the desk and a really comfortable chair. The genie would make sure I had a fresh chai latte next to me at all times (non-fat). My desk would face the wall as I find I write better when I feel a little physically confined.

The reading area would be in another corner of the room. It would have a large cushy armchair in black and white damask with a hot pink footstool. There would be a cozy throw on the chair and a candle close by. I’d have a big floor to ceiling bookcase and signed copies of all my favourite novels. The genie would sit on the footstool and massage my feet while I read novels and fashion magazines.
