sassy stripes

Dress- H&M (Thrifted); Belt- Thrifted; Shoes-Suzy Shier; Pantyhose- Forever 21; Ring- H&M; Nail Polish- Butterfly by Revlon; Sunglasses- Coach (c/o Marshalls)
I'm feeling sassy in stripes, continuing with day two of the Super Stripes Challenge and another outfit worn on my mini-vacay this past weekend at Mont Tremblant.
I'm linking up with Silverstyle: Trending Through the Decades- Pastel Edition because there's some pale pink in this dress somewhere!
No it's not your eyes playing a trick on you, these pantyhose really do sparkle and shine!

I'm also feeling sassy because I received this great pair of Coach aviator sunglasses (my fave!) in the mail the other day, courtesy of Marshalls, in preparation for their Ottawa store opening. As a bargain hunter extraordinaire, I can't wait to shop 'til I drop (I already have my eyes on quite a few pieces!) and am even using some of my overtime hours from work to attend the sneak peak (now that's commitment to style!)

 

 Imagine waking up to a view like that everyday! I can't complain though- the weather was summer-like today in Ottawa (+29'C with the humidity which is unheard of in March- we usually still have snow storms....knock on wood!)

    Oooh, very sassy! I like! And the view in that last picture is absolutely stunning...OHEMGEE pretty much describes it. Maybe a little quaint, too.

    I knew Forever 21 carried sparkle tights! I searched and searched and searched for them before Christmas, and didn't find any. They are great! And so is the dress!

    Look at you sassy girl! This dress looks awesome on you! I have a similar one from Old Navy in slightly different colors. I really love the pastels in this one though!

    I love the dress, and your nail polish color!
    I would definitely be excited for Marshalls - I don't know where I would shop without the TJX stores.

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
