I wanna dance. And love. And dance, again.

I know it has been a few weeks since I’ve posted so figured I’d do a quick post before the long weekend.
Life has been booming!
Starting a new job – aerial training – dance rehearsals - shows – injuries – and all other fun in between, I haven’t had a spare moment to breathe. But I’m not complaining… I love to be busy!
Working a day job definitely limits the freedom to enjoy patio lunches or spur the moment beach trips, so I make life interesting with my work wardrobe. Every day I get a new compliment whether it’s on my shoes, pants or jewelry. Just because I’m working behind a desk all day doesn’t mean I can’t be the brightest person in the office.
My new summer colour is definitely highlighter pink.
From shoes, bags, pants, knapsack (yes I’m aware I’m out of school) at least one item on me a day is highlighter pink. I think my best friend described my style this year as being stuck in the 80s. But in my defense, since I was born at the tail end of the decade, I’m embracing the spirit of the 80s now.
My favourite items this season definitely has to be my highlighter pink and purple pants from Mendocino. They’re a great colour and extremely comfy. And the best part about them is you can go wild with your other wardrobe pieces to go THAT over the edge. Or play it cool and calm with solid pieces. Either way it’s bold and beautiful. And you know my favourite saying, “Go big or go home”!
I’ve paired my pink pants with my Miss Sixty lightening shoes that I bought in Florence Italy. The shoes also incorporate highlighter green and yellow. Yes if you saw me this day sunglasses were required.

With the purple pants I kept it simple with a purple floral top and white spikes from Nine West. In case you were wondering – I also wore a purple cardigan and painted my nails purple that day. OCD much?

I also obsessed other this bag for months that I had to buy it. American Apparel had this knapsack that I couldn’t get out of my head. So long story short – it’s mine. And I know that deep down, you all want it too.
