Starts with a white dress shirt...

Happy Monday!

This weekend was one filled with pleasant surprises. One was the rain holding out until Sunday evening despite forecasts of rain all weekend. The second was an impromptu dinner in the Distillery District with dear friends who were back in the city after moving overseas last Fall. There truly is nothing better than mild summer nights on a patio enjoying delicious food and even better company.

For this weekend's casual outing, I opted for a classic boyfriend-fit dress shirt . The relaxed fit is versatile, looking great tucked into skinny jeans or paired with dressy shorts for evening, like this silk cargo-inspired pair (last seen in Vegas)




The wider proportions of the shorts allow this outfit to be paired with flats (as I did here) or dressed up further with a neutral heel.


Gold details completed the look that was wonderfully comfortable for the seafood feast we enjoyed and  subsequent stroll to walk off our dinner. 


Hope you have a great week!

Starts with a blue dress shirt...

 Happy Wednesday! It's amazing how time flies when there's so much to do - between travelling for work and training for a 10k run, the long weekend couldn't have come sooner!

This long weekend was all about staying local and relaxing. My hubby and I enjoyed our first barbecue of the season, I celebrated a friend's bachelorette party, and we capped things off with a lovely patio brunch. 


I paired this season's blue dress shirt with a tweed-like jacket also in similar shades of blue. To add a bit of weekend edginess to this otherwise ladylike ensemble, I added slim black pants with leather tuxedo-stripe detailing and a croc-embossed clutch. 


Gold jewelry completed the look along with classic pointed single-soled pumps.


Hope you're having a great week!
