Lookbook: A little bit Rocker

I'm trying out all sorts of new things this summer, wearing yellow, trying out rompers and bringing back the shorts. This is one of my "experimental" outfits to see how I like it. It's a bit different than my typical style but a fun look for the weekends.

What I'm Wearing:
Tank: Wilifred (from Aritzia)
Bandeau: Forever 21
Leggings: Forever 21
Shoes: L.A.M.B.

I love Aritzia and am sad that they do not have an online shop as I've gotten so many questions about where to get some of my favorite pieces that I've worn in my lookbooks from there. It's predominatly in Canada and we have a few in the US. I think the one near me (in Bellevue, which is not THAT close, you still gotta get on the freeway but it's close enough) was one of the first in the US. Everytime I go in that store I walk out with pieces that are totally different than the rest of my closet but I love to add different elements to my wardrobe. I picked up this gray tank that last time I was there and fell in love with the silk and how it lays so beautifully. It was a bit more expensive that what I like to pay for tank tops but the fit, the cut and the material is what makes it worth it.

When I tried it on in the store I knew instantly that I wanted a bright color to pop out from underneath and searched high and low until I found this bandeau that was the perfect neon yellow.

Jeans didn't look quite right so I paired it with my shiny leggings and hot shoes. After all that I felt like a little bit like a rocker so topped it off with the chain necklace. I'm not used to wearing stuff that is so tight and shows so much skin (it's usually one or the other for me, not both) but it just worked that day so I went with it. It's good to step outside of the box sometimes with your style. It can help you think differently about the way you normally dress and give you ideas to incorporate it into your every day style.
