Guest Post: Leigh-Ellen’s Killer Skirt!

I’ve got good news for you guys out there!  We’ve got a guest post by the wonderful Leigh-Ellen today!
I love how bold she is with color, and I know you will to.  :-)

P.S :  Do I spy a Michael Kors handbag in the last photo?

Enjoy!

Hello Vintage Mauve Readers! I’m Leigh-Ellen and I blog over at Little Waterlily in a Big Pond. I’m excited that Jessica is letting me takeover her little piece of the internet and that she’s posting over on mine. My blog began as a way to keep in touch with friends and family scattered around the world and has been growing slowly from there.  My husband, two cats, golden retriever and I live on the east coast of Canada.

Husband & I… NOT on the East Coast of Canada

I’m definitely not a fashion blogger but I like sharing clothes and having an excuse to take photos when I get dressed up.  Since starting the blog I’ve realized I tend to have go-to “outfits”.

This” + “This” + “This” = Easy outfit.

Blogging has challenged me to mix it up more since I don’t want to be sharing the same 5 outfits over and over!  So today I thought I’d share three different ways I’ve worn my new yellow skirt.

***Warning: I really, really like colour (and spell it the Canadian way). Might be a little loud for some people!***

I first wore this Apostrophe skirt when I took part in a fun fashion show for a local boutique called Rowena’s.  The top is too flowy for my usual taste. I have curves and if they don’t show I tend to feel like a puffball.  However I love the yellow and orange together.  I need to get some orange pieces to wear it with.

I didn’t buy that top but I did find another one on the racks post-fashion show that I decided would make a fun work outfit.

 

This past weekend was gorgeous and sunny.  I wanted to wear my new skirt out for dinner but also wanted outfit photos for the blog.  I needed to change it up again.

 

So I’ve owned the skirt for less than a month and that’s how I’ve styled it so far.  Thanks for letting me hang out with you today.  Feel free to stop by and say hi at my blog.

StyledOn.com, a brand new style community.

Personal style and interior design go hand in hand.  A tailored blazer paired with a nice pair of jeans, is the same as a decorative pillow on a sofa.  It can make or break the style you want to convey.  With that in mind,  I’m happy to say that I have a new favorite website.   StyledOn.com is a new style community that is the perfect mashup of Lookbook, and Foursquare.  If you are looking for an easy way to streamline your style,  this site is the place.  Members can post their own looks, favorite products, check out designer pages, and you get points based on your participation.  The best is,  if you see a product you like,  it links to the online store to purchase!  There is nothing I hate more than seeing a clothing item, or an accessory in a picture and having no clue where to hunt for it!    The users on StyledOn do the hunt for you, by posting where items come from.   I can definitely see myself spending way too many hours on this website!  Already, I’ve started to build up my style community so I can get the heads up on the latest fashion trends.

 

A style community

What are your style staples?

Love, J and A
