White boys a-shirt: Simply Basic (Wal-Mart). Yellow top: b + ab (Hong Kong). Black skinny jeans: Forever 21. Gold bracelets: H&M. Flats: Zara. Grey bow hairband: Forever 21.

Super super casual on a hot day. The jeans were purchased on Monday, making it the first clothing purchase at Forever 21 since they opened up in Ontario last summer. They were only $15.50 at regular price and comfortable to boot. I may have to go back and get them in blue. I guess I finally found one of those "hidden gems" people have been talking about.

While taking these photos, I didn't realize my shoes were barely visible in the full-length photo. They're the Zara flats that have been making a frequent appearance lately.

On a different note, I've finally caught up with my outfit photos. I've been pretty much living in these jeans since Wednesday so my outfits have been really boring over the last few days. In fact, I wore pretty much the same thing last night (as pictured), but with different shoes and a long vest thrown over top.

Shirt dress: eBay. Typewriter key necklace: B*jeweled Vintage. Yellow overknee socks: H&M. Brown canvas wedges: Old Navy.

Overknee socks never stay up on my legs, but they magically stay up when I roll them down to become knee socks.

Blouse: H&M. Heart necklace: Tryst by Kerry. Pants: present from Hong Kong. High heel oxfords: Aldo. Clutch: vintage.

Went to the symphony for the last time this season. I plan to change the buttons on this blouse...when I stop being lazy. The pants are a present from one of my favourite persons. I love them even though this particular shade of gray is very similar to the uniform pants I wore in high school.

Last Thursday, I bought a pair of skinny black trousers from Club Monaco ($39, marked down from $139!). I plan to wear them mostly with heels, but I have no clue how short to hem them. I usually wear flats with pants so when it comes to hemming pants for heels, I have no clue where the hem should fall. What is a good pant length?

White boys tee: Simply Basic (Wal-Mart). Gray cardigan: American Apparel. Charm necklace: Urban Outfitters. Black pants: H&M. Pink metallic belt: Jacob Jr.. Flats: Zara.

As much as I love these pants, I kind of regret buying them because:
a) The material is a dust and lint magnet. As soon as I finish lint rolling it, the pants have already acquired a new coat of dust and lint.
b) The pants wrinkle easily and are impossible to iron.

PS. Toronto friends, did you know Urban Outfitters opened a second location at 481 Queen Street West? It's just west of Spadina. I passed by it today, but didn't go inside. Has anyone checked it out?

Dress: Club Monaco. Pear watch pendant: Marc by Marc Jacobs. Lace tights: H&M. Heels: Nine West.

Finally getting around to some of those backdated outfit photos. I wore this to the symphony about a month ago. I've had these tights for a few years, but it was only my third time wearing them because I find them quite difficult to pull of.

Blush pink tank (worn underneath): Club Monaco. Oversized grey tee: H&M. Bird necklace: Amy Shutt. Gold star necklace: Chow Tai Fook (Hong Kong). Black lamé leggings: American Apparel. Flats: Zara.

Last night I wore my black lamé leggings for the first time since purchasing them in February. It took me that long to work up the nerve to wear them out and I think I was the only person amongst my friends who appreciated them. Ah well.

As for the oversized tee, I'm not sure if it's just a t-shirt or a t-shirt dress, but on my short stature, it most definitely could be a dress.
