biker short

Free People So Chic Biker Short;

ZARA Embroidered Top (love this, this and this one);

Urban Outfitters Fedora (similar here)

When I first saw that biker shorts were a trend, I thought it was a joke.  And then I started to see it more and more and thought, oh no.  I was not on board.  At all.  But then of course Free People made a denim version and it brought me back to my pedal pusher wearing days, which are actually available here at Anthropologie and here at Shopbop, so I thought I would give them a try.  Only because they were denim.  I will definitely not be rocking the spandex kind.  Except maybe at the gym (I love these leopard print ones).  You will not see me rocking spandex biker shorts with heels, I promise you that.  (I am, however, feeling these faux leather ones by Blank Denim.)  I'm really happy with these Free People denim biker shorts.  They are basically just long shorts and perfect for those days where you just do not feel like rocking short shorts.  I paired these biker shorts with a black and white embroidered top I purchased at Zara last summer.

Happy shopping!

It was a gorgeous day yesterday and I was at home sick.  I slept until almost 11 am (after going back to bed after dropping the kids off at daycare/school) and felt a bit better.  It would have been the perfect day to run errands, etc. but I was not up for doing anything.  I could not pass up the opportunity though to take some quick pictures of today's outfit without having to worry about freezing, or covering up with a coat.  It was just after 4 pm and already getting dark out.  Sad.  Also sad, it was almost 17 degrees.  Today the high was supposed to be about 4 degrees so of course I'm wearing this outfit with tights and a coat.  It's just not the same.

Summer is back!  It was starting to get really chilly and I was worried for a minute, but the last couple of days have been really warm.  I was ready for fall though because I'm pretty much done my fall shopping (already, I know - but fall clothes are my favourite!).  But I'm happy that we're getting some more warm weather because it really does feel like winter just ended.  I bought this pretty ZARA blouse thinking I was going to pair it with jeans, but I love skirts and definitely wanted to take advantage of the warmth so I paired it with this pretty ZARA skirt I bought this past winter.  The morning was a bit gloomy and cool so I threw on this floral blazer and ended up with a really girly outfit.  Plus, I love wearing bright colours when it's miserable out.  But the sun came out in the evening and it turned out to be a beautiful night.

It has cooled down over the past couple of days, which gave me a chance to wear this J.Crew blouse I bought a couple of weeks or so ago.  It has a subtle polka dot print and a pretty front tie.  (It will also look great dressed down with a pair of shorts!)  When I wear black and white I always tend to pull out this red MK handbag because black or white would be boring (to me) and any other colour would just not seem right.  Black and white is a classic combination and red just adds more class.
