Show Your Stripes


H&M sweater, Club Monaco wrap bracelet, Betsey Johnson heels, Birks bracelet, bracelet &
earrings c/o Poshlocket, shorts c/o Foster Bay, vintage bag, Gentle Fawn blouse (bought at Violet Hill)
Since we're completely straddling seasons right now (steamy hot during the day, freezing cold at night), my wardrobe has been doing the same. I'm a big believer in just throwing a pullover over a total summer look to make it completely transition-season-apropo, so that's exactly what I've been doing! This slightly sheer striped H&M top has been a favourite, and I'm pretty sure I nabbed it last year for $10. Amazing. My older sis shot these pics and my little sis did yesterday's, pretty talented sista power n'est-ce pas?

I'm off to my cabin for the weekend so for those of you who follow me on Instagram (@tovogueorbust), expect a lot of Sunshine Coast snapshots as per usual. It will be my last cabin trip while it's still reasonably hot so I'm looking forward to lots of swims and tanning on the raft! Have a great weekend everyone :)

  4. I love those little shorts. I meant to buy a pair of crochet shorts this summer, but never did. Let's keep them in style for a little longer.

  6. Love the crochet/lace shorts. Just bought a pair myself, a little late in the season, but you're right! throwing on some layers is the perfect way to hold onto some summer styles while we transition into fall!

  8. Oh pally, those bow heels... Too cute! We're in full blown fall here, so I've been in my sweaters and haven't had too much fun with transitional dressing but I'm loving your mid-season ensemble. I have a similar H&M sweater, it's one of my faves. Miss you, love!

  22. I just love how you've taken a fairly casual striped top and turned it into something so feminine and special. This outfit is an unexpected pairing of pieces, but so unique and beautiful. It's the perfect mix of feminine/edgy, dressy/casual, day/night. Just fabulous.

  25. oh Alex, you are the most natural beauty! i was just talking with Sean about you the other day b/c we drove by a girl who he said looked like M.Fox but i was like dude, are you cray?! my gf Alexandra is a dead ringer but actually she's even more beautiful, in my opinion and the boyf had to agree. he doesn't like to be wrong but he fessed to it ;) anyways, i went on about how it's not only your inherent lovely looks that are capturing but also your uber cool personality that is kinda juxtaposed alongside it. it's awesome how you can be so funny, stunning and smart all in one package. Matt is a heck of a lucky boy, let me just say!

    love the "straddling" term, so approps right now and you look amazing doing it in your stripes/shorts combo!! Gentle Fawn is a total fave - my bestie is the brand manager (+ Left on Houston) so if you ever want a hookup to their sample sales let me know. yah to sister power shoot help, the results are fab! xo ♥

  27. What a lovely new blog find! I liked this outfit because I have the same shorts in black and it's always fab to see how others style them. You're right about the transitioning and trying to find the clothes to work in this period - I'd say you got it spot on here.
