A Blue Wall, a Pink Couch and a Red Blazer

bright2bright4bright3


Jacket? Gift from Jessie Shorts? Joe Fresh Tee? h&m Bracelets? Crazy lady at The Ex and a dutch market


We just got back on Canadian soil after our two week stay in Holland. It was a crazy, busy and awesome time and I think I wore this red jacket for about 43% of said crazy, busy and awesome time. If I had known that I would wear this jacket so often, I could have packed a little lighter and saved myself the effort of lugging my 24.8 kg. suitcase everywhere. Every bus, train or plane I boarded with my suitcase and giant carry-on bag, I would curse my frivolousness and vow that next time I travel, I will wear a pair of sweatpants and a Champion t-shirt the entire time.


If you are lucky, 43% of my future outfit posts won't involve this jacket. But that is going to be hard. Because I love my red jacket. Almost as much as I love my sister-in-law's pink couch.

Red and pink are HUGE these days. Too bad for that dreaded holiday that it's famous for. Woof.

Anyhow, you sister in law's pink couch is the bees knees. As well as your blazer. Even if you wear it 43% of the time, I will love it 100% of the time.

I love the two different ways you've styled your red blazer. You really make me want to go out and buy a classic piece in a bright, bold color!

You must tell us the brand of the blazer!!!

You are so gorgeous! Love these photos! Red and pink used to be my signature combination in my early university days! I would pair a spark's tee (yes, as in, the 5 year old girl guide group...) that said "I promise to share and be a friend" and wear it over a long sleeved red tee. I wore this about twice a week. Yup. Ah, my thrift store vintage teeshirt phase! BUT, my point was that deep down I love red and pink together and I love this post! xo.

Red and pink is such a perfect combo! And that pink couch is fantastic! I want one!

Linda said...

Oh my goodness please wear this blazer everyday. You're giving us style amnesia-- Every time you wear it, I forget that you've worn it before, because you make it look so good!

Twills said...

I have those exact same shorts, and now I need that blazer and also that couch. Did you know that Joe also has a sequined skirt? I scooped that one up as well at around the same time.

Megan said...

You have a great tan!! I am jealous the color of your legs... mine are so pale, they would look like a white sheet draped over that couch.

And why would you ever post WITHOUT that blazer? It should be like Where's Waldo and you should have it hidden at least in the background of every post.

Bri said...

Pink and red together are always fun, I also like what you did with your photos!

Emily said...

Pink and red are so perfect together. And then the pink couch? Who has a pink couch? That's amazing.
