New Favourite: Red Blazer

Remember my fear of red clothing a few months back? I literally could count the amount of red-coloured pieces in my closet on one hand. I'm slowly getting more comfortable with wearing this attention-grabbing colour, so much so that I recently added 2 new red pieces to my wardrobe. This blazer was one of them.

The blazer is clean of distraction, and has a streamlined silhouette. The sleeves on a size SMALL are long enough for my arms (*gasp!) and the shoulders are a good width. The entire inside has matching lining except for the sleeves, which has a cute white contrasting striped lining which pops out when the sleeves are rolled. There are also 2 side slit pockets and a breast pocket, which may come in handy at work to keep my keycard. Who knew Suzy Shier could make such a quality blazer? On top of that, it was only $35 RETAIL. You can even use your SPC card in store, which takes off an additional 10%, essentially saving you tax.

Blue Lavender and BUTTON Rant

This morning, as I was taking my blue lavender blazer out of the closet, I heard a few things drop onto the ground. I thought it came out of my blazer pocket, because I tend to leave things in my pockets and rediscover them years later (money!). But, checking my pockets, there was nothing there. Then I looked on my floor. There they were. Little tiny pieces of buttons from the (now lack of) buttons on my blazer sleeve. What the hell! I thought. This was the third time!! What a bad start to Monday.

Electric Blue Faux-Leather Shorts

Just the other day I was thinking I should get some high waisted shorts. When I went to H&M to return some things, I spotted these electric blue ones! If I'm gonna get some high waited shorts, why not go all out and get some faux-leather electric blue ones? I love that they're so different. I wore the shorts to my friend's party this weekend and a couple people started petting them cuz they're really soft!

For some reason, these shorts fit really small. I'm usually a 4 in H&M bottoms (36" hips), but I had to go up to a size 6 in these. The size 4 was really tight around my bum and nobody likes shorts too tight ;) The size 6 was kinda gapey at the waist, but I fixed that with a simple belt. If you want these shorts, I suggest you size up :) Also, since they're not on the H&M website, the price was $29.95 and they are part of the Divided section. With the $10 coupon it's quite affordable.
