Hey everyone! Before I go on about my outfit or anything else, I want to let you know I'll be adding a "Song of the Day" to all my future posts. I've been really getting back into listening to music lately and, since I listen to it while doing most of my posts, I'd love to share my inspiration behind different outfits and posts. Let me know how you like it, and I apologize in advance if you find my musical taste horrid. The good thing is, you get to choose whether you'd like to listen to the song or not. My husband and dog, on the other hand, cannot. ;) Also, sorry for the sort of awkward photo colouring. I shot these much earlier in the day than I normally do and it's just not the same.

This is a very comfy, casual outfit. I love the colour blocking on this melange sweater I picked up from Joe Fresh (yes, at the grocery store!) last week. I've layered it over a white button up shirt and, since it's a little fuller, I put on my favourite pair of jeggings, which are now wearing out at the knees after so much washing and need replacing. I'm also wearing one of my favourite recent purchases, a large cocktail ring from Forever 21. To finish it off and avoid looking overly preppy, I've got on my studded ankle boots from Aldo Shoes. On a side note, these ankle boots are the most comfortable things I've ever worn. They fit perfectly after wearing them 2-3 times and keep molding further to only become more comfortable. I highly recommend you pick them up from Aldo if you're in the market for a cute, practical, pair of studded boots that aren't overly trendy.

My little brother is up visiting this weekend, so I'm looking forward to lots of food, a movie, some walking around, and listening to him and my husband play xbox. I'm not actually excited at all about the last part, but I understand they're guys and it's an inevitable part of the visit. Tonight we're heading to Tennessy Willems for some stone banked pizza and then off to the movies. We still have yet to decide what we're seeing, but I think it's going to come down to Skyfall or Flight. Twilight was not a suggestion that went over well, and I can't find a single theatre in the city still playing Looper. Boo!

On Sunday, I'm heading to the first monthly Bloggers Brunch and then to the Ottawa Vintage Clothing Show. I'm really hoping to find a few printed silk scarves, killer sunglasses, and some destroyed t-shirts. Wish me luck! If you haven't already, you can check out my appearance on CTV Morning Live (I went on to promote the vintage show and talk about incorporating vintage into everyday outfits) here.
