Life is pretty good right now. Sure, there are things I wish could be different, but I can’t exactly spend my days wishing they were, or I would never enjoy myself, right?

Spent the stunningly sunny weekend with family and friends, going running, eating, drinking, laughing and basking in the sun. I actually got a bit of a tan this weekend. In April.

Lately, I’m all about black and white and my ever-present, man-repellant mules. People seem to be very divided on this trend (my sister being one of them), and I find that happens quite often with trendy items. My advice? Just make sure you love and stand behind what you choose to wear (and skip those trendy pieces you don’t) and ignore all those naysayers. It is supposed to be enjoyable, after all.

PS Tip of the day: Throw a blazer on to make this look office appropriate.

      I’ve never had a suede skirt! I think I would have trouble keeping it clean though… 🙂

    Oh hi, what a nice surprise to see this familiar face. My blog needs to get fixed, I have comments turned off but went through one of my older posts and saw that you left a comment on it. Must have been over a year ago!
    I love your blog and style, Jill. I’m following you on Twitter so I do get to see your posts:)
    P.S. I’m not living in Vancouver anymore but have been for 6 years. I’m still in touch with many friends there…

    thanks for the answer. Other questions: do you have other leather skirts? red one?

    • 04.17.2014 / 9:23 am

      I only have this one, but would love a red one!

    Love that leather skirt – I’ve been looking for an affordable option like that for awhile!
