red, mint & blue
Oxford shirt from Gap, Red 1969 legging jeans from Gap, Mint belt from H&M, Michael Kors watch, Classic cream Toms Shoes, Mike & Chris studded Maguire leather jacket, Ashley Watson Warbler bag, Kio Yamato KP-083U glasses.
Ryan took a few pictures of my new work outfit (with his new Canon 5D Mark II baby – Thanks Ry)! I’m really loving bright pant colours (I now own cobalt, mustard and red pants), and Gap has lots of great options right now (including a beautiful emerald green coloured legging jean)! It’s starting to feel a lot more like spring, the bulbs are blooming, its getting warmer outside and we decided to walk along the Park and up Robson to grab a quick (and always delicious) snack at the Roaming Dragon (again), and this time we snacked on the fried rice balls (of course) and tried the Tuna Tataki Sammys! Deeeelish! Hop over to Ryan’s blog to read his review!

I love this outfit! the colors look great!
Thanks Ellen! I thought the mint was a neat way of softening the red?
It totally is!
Yes…and the sandwiches look great too.
Those Roaming Dragon sandwiches were incredible!
You look awesome! Nice pictures 🙂
Thank you Crystal! I’m going to try to do 1 outfit post a week!
I’ve heard red jeans are the new “black” — just don’t know if I’m brave enough! But the outfit is adorable on you. 🙂
I felt like a walking tomato the first time I wore them out in public, Mikalee, but I feel as though they energize me now! Maybe try a bright pant with a cream/neutral top first to ease your way in! Thanks for your comment! 🙂
I have a similar kind jeans but from H&M and I always thought that it was just black/white that went along with it but you proved me wrong. I love how you put the colors together .. so simple yet chic! I soo need to start experimenting with clothes now. Haha!
Ps: You are gorgeous!
Aw thanks so much Jessie! I wanted to jazz up my office wear, so I thought the bright red would wake up my blue shirt! I like to save interesting colour/texture/pattern combos I come across on style blogs and in magazines to try and revive tired clothes in my closet! xoxo
i love the ensemble!! the color mixtures are very nice!! you look awesome!! 😀
Thank you for your comment and for visiting my blog! You guys are inspiring me to keep on posting! 🙂
Wow everything about those photos are awesome! Even if they’re simple! I loved the out fit – and would definitely take a bit out of
that delicious looking burger!
Great Post!

Thanks Katie! I liked how simple it was too! Colour only, no pattern, no real texture, just colour! (And yes, those burgers were to die for!)
Thanks for your comment! xoxo

Thank you! 🙂
I love your Toms ❤ reallyyyy want a pair of those!!!
Thank you!!! My Toms are the most comfortable pair of shoes I own! I’m on my 3rd pair of cream-coloured ones, I wear them as often as the weather lets me! I highly recommend them as casual shoes!
Yehh… I’m definately thinking about getting a pair!! x
The outfit looks great on you….such a nice combo of peppy colours 🙂
Thank you! xoxo

Thank you for visiting! I was SO surprised to look at my viewership today, I thought it must be an error! I’m so flattered!!
That pair of jeans is in a special red! Very smart~ And OMG what’s the name of the flower in purple petals? Some kind of tulip? Just LOVE them!!
Thanks Carrie! Gap has lots of great bright colours in right now! Those are one my favourite spring flowers – crocuses! Thanks so much for your comment! 🙂
crocuses?! Nice!!

You should definitely give it a try, Elizabeth! You will surprise yourself! Thanks for visiting!! xoxo

Aw thank you for your kind words! xoxo
Lovely lovely ensemble.=)
Thanks so much for your comment!
Wow! You really dress well and I was more amazed when I read that you have a graduate degree in biology. I love your pictures and that long sleeves from Gap. Is that from a recent collection? I think I have to visit a store late and check it out too. I want to own one. Have a great day ahead and congratulations for making it in the freshly pressed.
Thanks Diane! Hehe yep my training is in marine biology, but I love fashion! I got lazy living in the lab, wearing sweats and holed t-shirts to work! Now i’m trying to be creative with my wardrobe! 🙂
Yes I bought all the Gap items in the last few months, I’m not sure if the Blue shirt can still be found but I know that the Red Jeans are still in store, I saw them yesterday while looking for mint jeans (my next project!)
Thanks so much for your comment and hope you have a great day too!
xoxo

Thanks Melanie!! 🙂
Congrats on freshly pressed! You’ve earned it!
Thanks dear! I couldn’t have done it without the great photos you took of me!
Hi Alison, I like those beautiful purple bulbs that are blooming. So beautiful and congratulations to making it to freshly pressed!
Thank you!! 🙂
You are the brightest person on the planet.
I can be seen from space!
Even without the uber bright colors you are beautiful to look at from space or from across the room.
