Average Elle

This week's post will be a brief one; I've been so caught up with school and personal issues that I had to put posting consistently on the back burner. Being comfortable is a vital factor I take into account when putting together an outfit. Admittedly, I find this outfit to be slightly comfortable, I cannot rave over how great it is, but I also cannot deny that it has its perks.

As mentioned in a previous post, I have been loving the entire layering trend. I think it's a great way to combine pieces from two separate seasons and combining them to produce this sort of "hybrid-season" outfit. I would say that this outfit would be a hybrid-season of both fall and winter, but of course you may disagree as this outfit does lean more towards being a winter outfit.

Jumping into the pieces, I'll start with speaking on the bottom layer. The trick to layering pieces is to have some sort of basic bottom layer. I chose to start this outfit with a basic body-fitting black shirt. I especially I like this shirt of its line detailing throughout the shirt, I feel that it adds a little more texture to the entire look.

When I think of Valentine's day, I always imagine myself dressing up more on the girly side. Going through my closet, I came across this floral dress and immediately thought it fit well with the theme of Valentine's Day.

In terms of where I got this dress, I believe I purchased it at a department store a few years ago. If you are interested in finding something similar to this, you will definitely find something of this style at many retail stores.


No outfit feels complete without something bold to go along with it. I wear this beige leather jacket to add a little of my personality into this entire outfit. I absolutely love how this jacket looks and how versatile it is. Although the colour does make it difficult to pair with many outfits, it definitely does a good job pairing with any kind of print! For those who are interested I believe I purchased this jacket at Charming Charlie a few years ago.


In terms of accessories, I did not want to overdue it. Staying on the theme of Valentine's Day, I chose to wear this gold heart beat necklace that I bought from Charming Charlie. I very much like shorter necklaces as opposed to long necklaces because I feel that they help compliment my collarbones better (I don't even know if that makes sense LOL).

For arm candy, I wore this pretty rose gold screw bracelet that I also purchased at Charming Charlie. I know that mixing jewelry colours is a little risky, but I wanted to take the risk and try it out. I was pretty surprised that the pairing looked good! So if there's anything I'd tell you guys to try this year, it's to try mixing jewelry colours.

Anyways, I know that this post went live a little late this week. Honestly, this week was a rough week for myself as I had a lot of things happening at once. I hope that you guys can understand. But, do not worry! I will be back on my regular schedule with a brand new post! Take care until then.

Starting from the top, this year I have been wearing a lot of turtle neck sweaters and shirts. I guess I always gravitate towards them because they never fail to keep me warm. For this outfit, I featured this "body-con" turtle neck sweater that I bought from Forever 21. What attracted me to this sweater was the neutral colour-palette and the surprisingly thick material.


Be it going to school, going to a party, or anywhere in general; I always grab my Chelsea boots! I think by now you all know that I simply adore Chelsea boots as I've raved about them in many of my previous posts. So it's no surprise for me to reach for these beauties to feature with this outfit.

That's essentially it for this week's post. Again, I know it was on the shorter side and is not anything special, but I hope it gives you guys some outfit inspiration! Anyways, I will see you next week with a new post. Take care!
